I saw HP on Friday. Twice. At Ontario Mills. With the 
tickets I bought online back on Monday. Excellent.  
The 3pm matinee didn't have as many trailers as the
11:15pm showing. It was interesting watching HP in
a very large, almost sold-out room with an audience 
made up entirely of adults and adolescents. No
children
at all. Okay, point taken that the adults were prolly
all adolescents too. :)

'The Majestic' looks really good. We didn't get Star 
Wars at all, but I did see the teaser when seeing 
Monsters Inc. Looked surprisingly good. On the way to 
the late night HP I told my sorta grown kids that
there 
was no LotR trailer, so when the Shire showed up on 
screen I was REALLy surprised and pleased. I'll be 
going to movietickets.com every few days to see if 
LotR tickets are available. They had some very large
posters for LotR in the AMC theater, so I should be
able to get tickets online. For whatever reason, at
movietickets.com you can't get tickets for Edwards
theaters.

Martin, what does 

> took the piss out of HP *&* LotR)

mean? The Star Wars trailer* prevented you from 
enjoying HP and now you don't want to see LotR? Or
was it the Monsters, Inc ditty? Uh, okay, maybe I'm
seeing it now. You do mean the Monsters, Inc one, eh?
I thought it was quite a brilliant piece. So, it
seems,
did most of the audience. Oh, and there was a huge
round of applause after the LotR trailer. 

Other trailers were Jimmy Neutron and ... duh, drawing
a blank. The little white mouse with voice by Michael
J. Fox 2. Look to be good enough within their genres.

Oh, and I *loved* HP. Twice. 

Terry

* was the Star Wars offering a trailer or was it just
  the teaser?
