I have to agreee with you, Vard.  I will probably see the movie, and
maybe even enjoy it, but I can't understand the burning desire to see
it the first day?!?!  It's a MOVIE, for gosh sakes, and thousands have
seen it before it ever gets distributed.  

I saw on CNN a bit on folks who had waited, not overnight, but days,
weeks and up to a month just to be able to say that they saw it the
first night.  The day that I decide to stand in line FOR A MONTH for
tickets to anything (yes, even Pennsic), shoot me and put me out of my
misery.
