* Lord of the Rings
There has been overwhelming demand for tickets to the marathon Lord of the Rings trilogy showing that's going to take place around the country on December 16, leading to the midnight premiere of the Return of the King. Tickets are on sale on eBay, and prices are as high as $455 per ticket.
Since they're showing the extended versions of the first two films, the whole event will have to take over 12 hours. I guess it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, but the thought of sitting in a theater for that long just isn't bearable to me. And I'm a big fan. Not big enough, I guess.
