i'll see the thing in February when [expletive] calms down.
Just the other day, a friend of mine was telling me about the time he went to the midnight premiere of Attack of the Clones. He said that the crowd was downright raucous and completely insufferable.
For example, he said that after the Yoda/Dooku fight end, the crowd was cheering and applauding for another 30 seconds to a minute. He ended up not being able to hear some of the ensuing dialogue because of it. He said that was basically a microcosm of the whole night.
I'm not huge on Star Wars so I wasn't planning on going to the premiere anyway, but hearing that from him pretty much sealed it for me.
I'd be mostly concerned about sitting behind someone wearing a fedora and the general stench of BO.

To be fair, not hearing George Lucas-penned dialogue is probably a good thing.

Hopefully it's the same show I'm going to. Expect to hear LOTS of my commentary as the movie unfolds. Some noises you may hear: 'pffft' 'sheeaw' 'riiiiiiiiiiiiiight' 'huh' 'snort'
I'll definitely have to wait a week or so. Maybe I'll be able to catch like a Wednesday show. The first weekend sold out throughout New York, and people are craigslisting Friday night tickets for a lot. Bastards. I wanted to do that.

That's the beauty of small town 'Merica. Not enough nerds. I could easily get tickets to the first showing at the biggest screen in my (red)neck of the woods on the 17th. But I'll probably wait until the earliest showing on Friday.
