Been waiting for this one and we're going Saturday.

It looks like this may be RoTK's big competition for Oscars this year.

Hopefully I won't be disappointed in it because I have really high expectations.

Saw it Saturday. Very good movie. Amazing look at life on the high seas in 1805.

RoTK shouldn't have to worry about it in the Oscar race, though.

Saw the 2-3 minute RoTK trailer. Dec 17 cannot get here fast enough.

My father has been reading this series of books and went to see the movie. He LOVED it. Thought it was great, is thinking of going back to see it again in the theater (which he never does) and is thinking of getting a dvd player so he can pay the dvd when it comes out.
