Tonight is the Dune 1 & 2 double feature. I see a nap for lunch and multiple afternoon coffees in my future.
I'm also taking my own popcorn. I just need to find an appropriate receptacle for it. I'm not paying $15 or whatever for Hoyts' stale popcorn again.. and also, I have Flavorcol at home now!
I had considered the same, however, didnโt want to sit for 3 additional hours for a movie I had seen twice already.
I want to be fresh for the new release if that makes sense.
Ooh - it's happening at my local cinema also. Running time 345 minutes! So it's going to go from 6pm to midnight!
Bachelor me would have done it. Just spontaneously decided to spend a work night doing watching two movies with no forward planning or coordination with others. To hell with the consequences! Unfortunately, responsible family-guy me cannot.
I'll probably still go the double-feature route, but part one will be at home after the kids go to bed one evening, with part two being the next day.
Gonna watch part 1 at home before I go, then gold class part 2 so I can get the popcorn/coke at the midway point and not need to pee an hour in cause I drank the coke before the film even started.
