Not, not that kind.
GodDAMNit, Professor T, why'd you have to put giant spiders in everything, like some kind of creepy-crawly equivalent to Sriracha sauce?
Re-reading The Hobbit, mostly for the joy of it, only a little bit to plan out my pee-break strategy. I had my Strategic Urine Initiative worked out to a science for ROTK. My excuses to always leave the room at the same point in the movie became a running joke with my SO at the time whenever we had it on at home, too.
"Woman, NOW is the time to get me a beer. Not from the fridge - at the corner store."
"What if I'm not back in time for the Horns of Rohan?"
"I'll pause it."

Actually, the cartoon of the Hobbit freaked me out, and I had nightmares about the spiders in Mirkwood for years.

Date: 2012-03-28 01:58 pm (UTC)Speaking of. Just ran across mention this morning of the AMC theaters doing a special run-up to The Avengers by marathoning the preceding movies in the series starting at 11:30am and leading up to the midnight premiere. And I missed the chance to go do the FotR/TTT/RotK-midnight-premiere marathon. (I think a combination of missing out on getting the tickets but especially not having the vacation days available to take -- I went to the midnight movie and then to work the next day.) I've about half talked myself out of bothering with the in-theater marathon, but I'm debating taking that Thursday off as well as that Friday to do a sort of at-home DVD marathon and then maybe hit the midnight premiere by itself.

Date: 2012-03-28 08:00 pm (UTC)Being the unashamed introvert that I am, on reflection what I'd really like to do is take off not just that Friday (giving me the option of either sleeping late after a midnight movie or just going to see it Friday afternoon when the theater is largely empty) but also that Thursday from work -- but then just stay home and watch the DVDs that afternoon and evening. (I already have both Iron Man movies and have been vaguely meaning to buy Captain America and perhaps even Thor, so.)

Date: 2012-03-28 05:06 pm (UTC)I'm talking about timing pee breaks on purpose to deliberately miss something that you really, really do not want to see, no matter how much you love the rest of the movie. I have still never really seen more than glimplses of the Shelob scenes in ROTK--and that means, so far, my plan has worked! :D
