John (Taloni) Taloni (johntaloni) | 5193 comments Oh HELLS no. Well, I say that glibly. Is that your only option to see it before the weekend is over and spoilers hit every medium known to man? Because that's the only reason to see it at that time.

My wife and I have had tickets for a month. I'm going to be sticking fingers in my ears and going LA LA LA LA LA LA until we see it on Saturday afternoon.


Ruth (tilltab) Ashworth | 2218 comments What cinema is open at 2am!??

Tamahome | 7218 comments I have tickets for Tuesday as well. I can also see it at 8am tomorrow lol. Although I read the comic years ago.



Ruth (tilltab) Ashworth | 2218 comments It's open at 8am too?! You go to a very strange cinema. I'm thinking of going some time on Wednesday. I'm sure I can avoid spoilers until then.

Mike (mindolin) | 27 comments I was lucky enough to get the best seat in the house for a showing tomorrow at noon, using my last four hours of vacation to take a half day of work.

No movie is worth seeing at 2AM

I, personally, will wait until it comes out on iTunes in 3 to 4 months.

Dara (cmdrdara) | 2702 comments I will read about it on the internet as it will be unavoidable.

Look, the only thing I care about on 4.26 is what the heck Taylor Swift is releasing.

A concept album about her love for Thanos?

Phillip Murrell | 367 comments You should see it now. As the Collector said in Infinity war: "Magnificent! Magnificent!"

Christopher Preiman | 347 comments Tamahome, I didn’t think it was possible but you may have just found a scenario in which I would listen to a Taylor Swift album.

I'm very glad it's not that.

Stephen Richter (stephenofskytrain) | 1638 comments I remember the 2 am cinema for Lord of the Rings movies. It was fun because of all the Hobbit Cosplay!! yes , that is why you go a 2 am to be with a bunch of fanatics that will clap and hoot at everything. It is quite the fun. Have next week off so mid day Imax 3D with popcorn and a drink, so a $50 play day.


Ruth (tilltab) Ashworth | 2218 comments Wait, this 2am cinema is a regular thing? How bizarre!


message 17: by Stephen (new)

Stephen Richter (stephenofskytrain) | 1638 comments Bizarre is right, standing in line looking down at hairy Hobbit Feet puts you in a different place mentally. In a good way.


message 18: by Phil (new)

Phil | 1452 comments Only for the big blockbusters like Marvel, Star Wars, or Harry Potter movies. A lot of theaters are showing it 24 hours a day for a couple days.

I saw a six-year-old kid wearing a full Groot outfit. Awesome! To be fair, I went to a six p.m. showing Thursday night.

Stephen Richter (stephenofskytrain) | 1638 comments I think Taylor Swift got bit by a K-Pop bug.

Joseph | 2433 comments When Phantom Menace first came out (and the only way to get tickets was to actually go line up in front of the theater box office on the day they went on sale), the midnight shows were all sold out so we ended up seeing it at 3:00 a.m. It was a fun experience, but kind of surreal (that was probably the sleep deprivation), especially leaving the theater and driving off (literally) into the sunrise.

(And Mr. Stomach did not know what to make of all of that popcorn at 3:30 a.m.)

I did go to midnight screenings for a couple of LotR films -- most notably, for Two Towers I went to a midnight screening, got home at about 4:00 a.m., slept for a few hours, then met a friend and went to a noon screening. (Which, TBH, I don't know if I actually lasted all the way through it.)

These days: Never again. I am very, very, very happy that the advance screenings have moved from midnight up to 7:00 p.m.; I'm too old for that junk.
