Frodo...Extended....

I was again perusing the interweb today and found out that New Line Cinema, where the Lord of the Rings trilogy is produced, has this cool plan that will make them a lot of money. I wish i would've known because this is the coolest thing ever and makes me REALLY feel like a n3rd. New Line has a deal with somwhere around 99 theatres across the country where they will show all 3 of the movies the night the Return of the King is released. Not only all 3 movies, but the Fellowship and Two Towers will be shown in the extended version. Overall that's ~12hrs of LOTR! Problem is, the nearest theatre that's doing this in in Indy. That's like 4 hours away. And all the tickets are sold out. When they went on sale, they f'd up movietickets.com and tickets were sold out in less than an hour! While I do think this is awesome i'm not really gonna try to buy tickets and I maybe would have if a theatre would've done something like this around here, but it's not really on the top of my priority list. But I will say i was curious about how much the tickets are going for now that they're sold out. So I checked my best friend Ebay and found a set going for $1000! The cheapest set was $20, but still had 9 days left. That's nuts! $1000 for a movie that I can sit and watch at my house then go to the theatre as soon as I'm done watching the first two. I know it would be cool and all just to say you did it, but still....
