You think you have it tough, it's not even released here till Boxing Day!! And then I go away to the Marathon ON Boxing Day and then I'm home for 3 days, then away again for 12 to the Jamboree. We are SOOOOO totally seeing it in the 3days of sleeping I have!!!
Why couldn't it have been released earlier here??

Breathe deeply, azahar.
I checked with the local huge multiplex thing, and they're showing it in original round here "sometime in January". Which means from 1st Jan I have to call every day and book tickets even without a babysitter, in case they sell out.
But... I'm hearing more and more about this, and (even dispite the lack of Saruman 
) I'm that I can't see it yet.

The effects were good but I'm just getting a wee bit tired of camp Oirsish hobbits, innuendos about doing things to dwarves in a balistic trajectory kind of way and a comedy stunt elf with ridiculous powers of stating the blatantly obvious.
Orlando Bloom for Arthur Dent anybody? 
Let's see how Jackson copes with the Hobbit!

I liked it
Hopefully Saruman will be in the extended DVD, but aside form him not being in it, I didn't see any problems that I couldn't understand why they didn't put in it.
It was good! the guy who played (grrr, what's his name? Boromir and Faramir's dad) was really good.

It was an ironic coment about Legolas' powers of observation, Ferret 
We've all heard this week's rumours about The Guide

wheeeeeeeeeee!
Saw it.
2 weeks ago, and still high from the buzz. There were only 9 people in the cinema watching it in English, and 7 of them laughed at me when I screamed during a particularly scary bit.

everyone thinks I'm funny!
the best bit was, because there were so few of us, we were pretty spread out. I had about the best seat, 3/4 of the way up right in the middle of the row. Eye-level with 
boy (ok, in my dreams)
But when Pippin did his thing, and I started to snivel, the guy nearest me reached back over 2 rows to give me a tissue.
When we left we all stood around chatting, and they were all saying "wow, you're really into that"
But they were all German and had seen it at least 3 times (on had seen it about 15 times) so there were no surprises for them.
But now... I'm stupidly excited about seeing it again, hopefully, in the UK in February. I hope it's still on.

Pippin was so good in that bit! I was crying buckets, practically all the way through the film!

it was the Denethor/Faramir (who I don't like) thing that sort of started me, then Pippin's singing coupled with what Peter Jackson did to Denethor
It was deffo a 3 kleenex moment
