Got my tickets, thursday morning 10:15 AM
Total time standing in line: 0h0m0s. I saw the other two on opening day, never had to stand in line for tickets. I just had to show up two hours early for decent seats. Oh and I know how you feel, theatre manager. I worked as a "concessions associate" for Marcus theaters. I was pushing popcorn when Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars Episode II, and my favorite: 8-Mile came out. (Its my favorite because it was fun to laugh at the gangbangers saying "Yeah dawg, hook me up wit sum popcorn and a big 'ol sprite. I wanted to pull something out of super troopers and ask my manager if we sell bigolsprite. :icon_thum)

Find a Matinee
High noon is best time, particularly on week day during school hours.
No lines, no cell phones, no problem.
If you have to see it in a crowded theatre, resort to guerilla warfare formula, ie, buy 2 large slurpees and drink one and deposit other on seat in front of you (early arrival helps with strategy, with no one the wiser).
Mean as hell, I know, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

So far ive put about 8,000 into my rig, newest addition is a 42in panasonic plasma TV i bought last weekend when my girlie left me. (come on, what else was i supposed to do?) My rig will trash any commercial movie theater in colorado. Dual Velodyne subs, Jmlab speakers, Denon 2900, Denon 3805, Denon POA 2800, AQ cabling, hell.... i have yet to hear a movie theater that can put out a comparable visceral experience. <grin>
Anyways, i wish DVD's came out with the theatrical release. . And im not a big fan of all the "theater noise"
yah, i used to be an Audio junkie, then i found cars and my interest has swayed. Thank god too, auto stuff is way cheaper than high end audio gear. <ROFL>

Compare a commercial theater to a well thought out and assembled home theater system, and the commercial system cannot hold a candle to the home system.
Ive ben to most of the theaters here in denver, and even the better ones stiill cannot compete home theater systems that cost a mere $6k-$8k range.
And i'm not talking that crappy bose stuff. that junk is garbage.
