Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2004The ultimate LOTR moviegoing experience (OT)
Well, I finally got to see the last LOTR movie. I was holding out until I could see it in ultimate comfort in Bangkok at the lazy boy recliner theatre. And ooooohhhhh, was it worth it :-) Since I was there last, they had re-furbished the theatre and now the recliners are leather and the reclining mechanism is done by your own personal remote control instead of the lever on the side. You also get socks and a blanket and a pillow. It was pure heaven, especially since the movie was so long. Dennis and I got a bottle of red wine delivered to our seats during the movie too. It was so great. And best of all, halfway through the movie, there was a 6 minute intermission for a pee break! How great is that??? Oh yeah, and the movie was good too ;-) -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Well, I finally got to see the last LOTR movie.

How clean are those > things? Well, when you live in Thailand, you get used to heat. So when the air conditioned theatre is maybe 21-22 degrees Celsius, that feels absolutely freezing! I'm very serious here. At that temp, I'm in jeans and a polar fleece and my teeth will chatter. And I'm originally from Canada, so I know cold. But after 3 years here........ Anyway, the socks are brand new, it's the kind that they hand out in airplanes. Same for the pillow, it has a removable paper cover, they probably change that after each use. The blanket was polar fleece, I should hope they clean those too. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >>>> Well, I finally got to see the last LOTR movie.

On R&R from Nam to Bangkok, I don't think many of us were looking for movies... > >>>> Well, I finally got to see the last LOTR movie.

From what I've heard, 30 years ago they didn't even have coffee and dairy products! But things have come a long way in the last 10 years. Bangkok is now a very modern city with a wonderful sky train system and a subway set to open next month (YAY!!!) and some great glitzy shopping centres, etc. You should come back sometime to see how it's changed :-) -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Oh wow!!

I can do without the intermission, it would have been nice but not necessary for me and even the chairs wouldn't have to be nice leather lazy boy recliners. But the chairside service would have to be a must!! Grace > > Oh wow!! I want a movie theater like that!!! > > So do I!!

But the chairside service would have to be a > must!! Well, they usually don't have an intermission for shorter movies. But this one was 3.5 hours, so it was good. And when you're drinking wine, you tend to have to pee more often. It's no good when you can't drink for fear of having to hold it for hours and hours. Then you don't enjoy the movie. And the nice leather recliners were great for such a long movie too. I tend to get a numb butt after more than 2 hours in a regular movie seat. It all comes at a price though, a ticket to this movie theatre is US $12.50. A ticket to a regular theatre, which is still very nice with stadium seating, lots of leg room and assigned seating, is only $4. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album In news:bupmg5$korou$1@ID-203447.news.uni-berlin.de, OU812? <buggums**nospamme**@nb.sympatico.ca> radiated into the WorldWideWait: >> Well, I finally got to see the last LOTR movie.

BTW, I don't recall seeing a single cat in the trilogy. Anyone else note one? I don't remember which movie (1 or 2: haven't seen 3 yet) the hobbits were in some medieval-looking alehouse/inn or bar/restaurant at one point; I saw a cat briefly there. : In news:bupmg5$korou$1@ID-203447.news.uni-berlin.de, : OU812? <buggums**nospamme**@nb.sympatico.ca> radiated into the [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] : BTW, I don't recall seeing a single cat in the trilogy.

I wished my theater would've done that (the intermission).
