I've had a copy for awhile now so tomorrow will be one ceremonial viewing. Maybe I'll "rent" a big plasma screen from Costco for the occasion.

I'm actually going to see it in theatres, cause I don't have enough to spend on the dvd this week, so one.

I selected one, because I'm awaiting my DVD from Amazon, but I'll join you all in spirit by catching a viewing at the dollar show (where Tuesday actually is 50 cent day)!!!!!

I'll probably watch it once. I want to watch it on a large screen though and unfortunately, I don't have one. Damn it.

So, depending on if I can get some peace and solitude tomorrow night, I'll probably watch it in my living room (the biggest TV I have).

I don't have a copy yet so I am really excited for this...  ;D

Hmmm, I just realized that I didn't put ZERO as an option there. I guess I just assumed we'd all be watching it at least once. lol. I understand Mandy M, that you're uber busy with school. These next few weeks are going to be utterly insane for me too. *sigh*

I know, why did it have to come out the week I have 3 papers, my senior portfolio and my thesis due.... seriously, is my school trying to kill me?? I think they just might be... yet here I am on this computer once again not working on my paper... please everyone, just ignore me if I post so that I'll feel unloved and stop coming on here for the week!

See, I may watch it in pieces.  I'll have a rewind and pause option now.  If it were tape I'd wear it out.  Thanks, little data pits, little zeroes and ones!  So I can't say a whole number.  Mmm, wonderful fractions.

By the way there's a ferocious thunderstorm just dying down now in my part of the world, and the exciting star of the evening was HAIL!  Big hail!  Not as big as Wyoming, but pretty impressive for the lowly eastern seaboard.

henrypie - I'm gonna be pausing and rewatching many of the scenes as well.. *mmm, second tent scene*. Thunderstorm? Ooh, how exciting! I love listening to hail hitting the window.

Mandy M - Listen up, b*itch, I've had enough of your crap. Parading around here like you're all that. You think you're the coolest and best Mandy around here.... *snaps my fingers three times like a true drama diva*

 :P

It's gonna be REAL hard to pry myself away as well. Remember, don't go insane, make sure you have lots of coffee/cappuccino & snacks, and take little breaks to ease your mind. Good luck with it all!!!!  :-*

It IS a bargain, *except* the cheap show brings out the worst in people.  Loud eating, constant chatter, laughter in the most inappropriate parts.  Some viewings there have been better than others. 

But I guess I'll take it before I'm relinquished to the small screen forever (which does have advantages like peace and quiet, the ability to rewind, and making the picture contrast brighter during dark tent scenes)!

I remember what that's like!  I feel like I wanna buy a copy and send it to you myself. ;D 

Seriously, I don't know you at all Brandon, and I hope I don't sound patronizing in any way.  You just seem like such a nice guy and so well liked around here.  If anyone should have the movie, it's you.

Why is there no 0 for us poor folk who don't live in the US? *HUMPF* First we get the DVD 20 days after you guys and then we don't get included in the poll! I am outraged I tell you, OUTRAGED!  >:(

I don't know that I'll watch the whole thing today, but like I have been doing, bits and pieces. The two tent scenes are together in scene 5, called "Forty Winks." This morning I watched scene 4 & 5, then skipped ahead to 16 (final confrontation by the lake). Then said, I gotta get t'work.

I bought 2 dvds - one widescreen from Amazon and the full screen at Target. But I must make my one final ceremonial screening this Thursday night at the last showing on the big screen at my local theater...the very last theater it's showing in still...and I will probably never see it in glorious big screen again. (sigh)

There wasn't a zero choice - very optimistic of you!  But that is my answer.  Or maybe .05 is my answer, since I didwatch little bits of it.

Well i got it MOnday. Watched it thru and thru. 

Watched it Tuesday, with subtitles. Wanted to see when ENnis says "what r u duing"  It's on the subtitles, I still can't hear him say it and I have the tv at full blast. Well there are other lines which show up on subtitle, but I can't hear. I've got good ears.

Maybe I'll watch it again over the weekend. The tv experience isn't the same as a cinematic experience.  But I knew that would be the case.
