I love the opening weekend crowds too. But reserved seating has spoiled me. Never again will I have to get to a theater 2+ hours early just to be close enough to the front of the line to get a decent seat!
If I wasn't able to reserve my seat for opening day, I wouldn't get going to see it on...
Fox 5's reporter/interviewer Kevin McCarthy is uber-geeky during these interviews. Awesome!
It cracks me up to see youngsters like him getting so excited about the franchise... These people weren't even born when the original came out! :)

We got our reserved seats in a Regal Dolby ATMOS RPX theater for the 9:00am showing on the 18th! A couple of our friends are taking a personal day off work to join us. Much to my amazement, the seats EXACTLY where we'd normally choose to sit were available. And just four of them together...
We played the awesome 5.1 trailer during our Booth Bijou Garage Theater movie night on Saturday. When the kick-ass sound from The Force Awakens trailer was over, one of our friends shouted "Oh yeah, baby!" :lol:

I got my hands on a 1080p version of the latest The Force Awakens trailer with 5.1 sound! It will be one of the trailers I show tomorrow during our Booth Bijou Garage Theater event. This morning, I put together the VLC playlist for tomorrow and tested it out on my living room system.
HOLY...
Star Wars films are always ripe with toy licensing possibilities. The toys are probably already being manufactured as I type this. But an iPhone-controlled BB-8 (that's looks just a bit more polished than that homemade one) would outsell them all!

Personally, I'd love it if this thread was restricted to just discussing the forthcoming film and perhaps a different thread could be started for whiners to whine about things they don't like about previous films.

Hey George Lucas, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!
I lost all respect for the man, not when he rereleased the first three films (with his new vision and editing), but after he then refused to ever release the original, unaltered versions.

I love using Google maps and street view to sleuth the location where photos were taken. I particularly enjoy doing it to find the exact spots where photos on vintage postcard were taken, such as along Historic Route 66. It allows me to gain perspective on how the buildings and roads have...
Tough crowd!
I think the teaser trailers are all awesome! And the latest one (iTunes exclusive) gave me goosebumps! With JJ Abrams at the helm, I expect a LOT of fun, a LOT of action, and a LOT of lens flare! ;)
