Put me down as a maybe. Not sure where I'll be that weekend and I might wait for Demyx to return to the state before seeing this. Preference is for Reading, but I can make it to Natick without problem (protip: Google's directions are terrible if you're coming from the east).
I'll go. I normally don't plan this far in advance.
I'm going to be out of town unfortunately.
Oh, I just mean I'm a lousy planner.
Love to do it, but the weekend before XMas? My wife would kill me. And I can't resurrect like some people.
If it were the week after, then I could get free.
gravity - no worries, I know the holidays are tough. We'll plan something for early next year too.
Woo! I'm in for that.
I just got home from my Thanksgiving travels. I'll be back home for the weekend of the 29th or the weekend of the 22nd. Haven't decided yet. I can wait til 1/5 to see the Hobbit, especially if it's more convenient for other GWJ'ers.
I'm near certain I'm out of town on the 22nd. Jan. 5th is also out for me.
Put me down. My house hold is abuzz with this movie. We were even listening to the classic BBC Radio reading on Audible the other day. Amazing how much Andy Circus was inspired by the actor who voiced Golum in the BBC Radio telling.
Is this still happening? I no longer have to work the 1/5 weekend and we might be interested in seeing this.
I saw the Hobbit at a Jordan's Imax, and would watch it again. I sat a little too close to the screen and got dizzy from sweeping camera shots at 48FPS.
Make SURE to see it in 48fps, if you go. I didn't like the movie much but the visual experience made it worthwhile.

I hope more theaters start offering it. I hate going to the Fenway theater. Maybe I'll drive the hour to foxboro...
The Jordan's in Stoughton doesn't have Imax? That's surely closer than Foxboro.
Is IMAX 48fps? I thought only the theaters/showngs listed on fandango as "high frame rate" are upgraded.
According to the IMAX blog there were no IMAX theaters in MA showing the hobbit in 48FPS. Now I get to see what I missed.
So guess that brings up a point: what's more important to folks? 48fps or IMAX?
48fps for sure, if a film supports it. Incidentally that's my frequented theater.

Is not 3D an option? Otherwise, 48fps sounds cool.

The theater here is offering: regular, 3D HFR, IMAX 3D, normal IMAX. I don't know if that's across the board or what, but HFR hasn't been offered without the 3D yet.
48FPS as I found out today that I have only seen the 24FPS version.
That sounds fine to me. I could walk to the Showcase in Revere though...
Question on the high frame rate; is that 48 fps for each eye, or is it 48 fps total simply bringing it back up to 24 fps/eye? if it is the later, it would explain why it is only being offered on 3D movies; the industry considers 24 fps good enough, but realized they weren't actually delivering it for 3D movies. If it is the former, [shrug].
