Well......there is nothing special about Opening Day as it's just the day the movie officially get screen all over Singapore. :roll:

The day is also some times "dampen" by the fact that the movie might have Sneak Preview Screenings on Wednesday Evening onwards (normal ticket price apply) tho' it might be the time for some cinemas to organize party or special activities.


What many of us look forward to is the PREMIERE done 1-4 days before the Opening Day (Aug 28th 2008). It is usually (99% of the time) done at night with starting time ranges from 7.30pm to 8.45pm and at a City-Area Cinema like Shaw Lido or The Cathay.

Some Premiere are by "Invitation Only" with tickets given out thru Sponsors' own Contest, Rewards Schemes, Workers or to Celebrities.
Some Premiere like TPM/AOTC/ROTS/James Bond can attended by anyone who can afford the "Charity" Tickets which will cost a bomb but is a very joyous occasion. A few like the one for Prince Caspian have more reasonble priced ticket but it's just a screening at 5 major cinemas with a few freebies and no before-screening activities.

I am never bothered about reading in advance.

I almost wanted to describe the story but stopped.

Not sure if anyone has seen the cute mousepad that is available at Popcorn. I thought it was a good collector item.

From http://www.r2kt.com/

"R2-KT was created in 2005 by Jerry Greene, master droid builder, with the help of the R2 Builders Group. She was built in honor of one very brave little girl named Katie Johnson who had brain cancer.

It was Katie's wish to have a pink robot like R2-D2 from Star Wars, so Jerry and the R2 Builders Group worked very hard and created a one-of-a-kind droid named R2-KT (which sounds like R2-Katie).


R2-KT's Mission

R2-KT's mission is to entertain children, raise awareness of pediatric cancer, and raise money for such charities as Make-A-Wish and Children's Cancer Fund. Her allies include the 501st Legion Star Wars costuming club, Zig the Pig (mascot for the Children's Chance) and the Palmetto Richland Children's Hospital."

Ah..nice story...kinda sad...pink kinda suits a R2 droid...
R2-KT sounded familiar...i'd checked out wookieepedia but there's no entry for it...
Thanks

Nice helmet, Haldir. Yours?

I was never much of a prequel fan myself but I was hoping to get my clone armor completed in time for Clone Wars! ...just to pay respect to the 501st Legion and Captain Rex! :)
