Midnight Showing of The Hobbit: Last Call!

I don't know about you guys, but I just about died when I saw this last year. Middle Earth is coming back, baby! And I will be there at midnight, in costume. The fates have aligned; my last final is on Thurdsay, which means I'm getting the heck out of dodge the second its over and going home and dressing up and staying up until 4 (ish) watching this movie.

I've invited my friends, but I've gotten a lukewarm response to it. Today is the last call, because I'm not going to the 12:30 showing. I'm going to the freakin' midnight showing. And I want to celebrate this moment with my friends.


A certain other film series wrapped up its finale last night/today. All I can say is Halleujah! No more sparkly vampires angsting around anymore.

Midnight showings are among my favorite things. After experiencing the end of the Harry Potter francise (*sob!*) at midnight, I'm determined to not miss anymore midnight showing experiences. It was so fun to be in a theater where it was okay to yell and cheer, to laugh out loud, and not have to obey the normal rules of theater etiquette. It's like a big, huge nerdy gathering, and we all get to share in the moment.

Fun fact: I went to a special premiere of Order of the Phoenix, I got to see it at 8 o'clock instead of at midnight. My sister, brother-in-law, and I tormented the midnighters with false quotes: "I can't believe Voldemort is Harry's father!"

I just realized, my family is full of nerds. But I love them!


This, because I just can't be mad while listening to it, and it's gorgeous music...
