YES, YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD FOR ME!!!!!
 
Now maybe you can understand a little better WHY I GET SO EXCITED when he has a new film come out!!!
 
Sadly, that 'all MrB/all week long' film festival will most likely not happen anytime soon...and it'll NEVER happen in the little town where I live because there are only 2 theaters and NEITHER one plays foreign films...EVER...talk...about...REDNECKS!

Oh, that's lovely! You and your Wife can create your own schedules! Must be great to be able to arrange that around whatever functions the kids have going on...I have to wake upp at 5AM/get ready, leave by 7AM to be at the Post Office by 7:30...SIX DAYS A WEEK! AND...they either approve or deny any time off I request...like right now, my request for leave to go back to India this Fall is being DENIED...sometimes, I love my job but some other times?  Well...It makes me wanna
'GO POSTAL'!!! Ha ha ha...I have a very clear understanding of that phrase now that I work there!!!
Had to LITERALLY BEG to have 4th of July weekend off so I could travel for BBUDDAH release date...it will be worth it though...not only will I get to see Mr.Bachchan on the big screen, (ONLY 2ND TIME I'LL EVER HAVE SEEN HIM ON BIG SCREEN!!! Saw ALADIN 3times at theater~only counting that as ONE time, so this will be the second...) BUT I'LL ALSO GET TO MEET SOME EF TOO!  Sure hope everyone will make it so that we can meet...It'll all work out...no matter what...
It'll be SO FUN!!!  GO BBUDDAH GO BBUDDAH GO BBUDDAH!

I work from home, my wife also from same profession, so we two work together from home. work schedule is completely on my hand. on match days (football) or days when AB movie release, i do less work .  but if I am determined that I will watch AB movie, I will do that irrespective of heavy rain, work, or whatever obstacle comes.
 
previously 1st show used to be on 12 pm (single theater), now after introduction of multiplex, first show starts as early as 9 am, sometimes even 7.30 or 8 am also.
 
now if they decide to have paid preview one day earlier, then show will be in evening.

Way to go Shiladitya! What time is the first showing usually?
Is it like early afternoon, 2ish or 3ish?  Thats the way it is here on weekdays...Earlier shows on Sat/Sun...
Will you be off work that day?

Great spirit Valorie.
 
I will be watching it FDFS here in kolkata along with few of my friends. If they have paid preview one day before, will watch on Thursday itself.

TEJAS!!! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID!!! 
I took Friday, Saturday (no work Sundays/Monday is HOLIDAY) AND TUESDAY OFF FROM WORK so that I could go SOMEwhere
and see BBUDDAH on it's opening weekend!!!
 
I've been wanting to meet Jasmine, Rochelle and Sunita so NJ/NYC seemed like THE PLACE TO GO!!!
 
Keep talkin to'em Tejas...convince EVERYONE ELSE TO SKIP WORK AND MEET ME AT THE AIRPORT OR THE THEATRE!!!
If nobody comes to pick me up?  I'LL FIND MY WAY!!!
NOTHING WILL KEEP ME FROM MY BBUDDAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, THANKS Vakhat for the info on where to find BBUDDAH in the 'forthcoming' sections...
 
I only WISH I could watch AVS this weekend but I don't have access to that so...you'll just have to TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT WHEN I SEE YOU!!!!!
 
Speaking of which, my plane arrives at LaGuardia just after 4PM on Friday, July 1st...I want to get OFF that plane and go STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST THEATRE PLAYING BBUDDAH SO I CAN SEE IT ON IT'S OPENING DAY!  Yes, I'll want to see it again while I'm up there but...I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO SEE 
MR. BACHCHAN'S MOVIE ON IT'S OPENING DAY IN ORDER TO SHOW MY SUPPORT...  That said, I have no idea where the closest Indian theater might be or how to get to it...
Sometime in the next coupla days, I'd like some feedback from
my New Jersey/New York Extended Family Members on what they can recommend I do...
A) Where's the nearest Indian Cinema to LaGuardia Airport?
B) Does ANYONE live close enough to this airport to be familiar with it and it's shuttles etc?
C) Would ANYONE in the NYC/NJ AREA like to join me on FRIDAY NIGHT JULY 1ST when I go see BBUDDAH
on opening day?  I'm not afraid to go alone, I did it with ALADIN and I will do it again, if necessary...
 
***JASMINE*** I know you and Satish~ji both work and I certainly don't want to make you two come all the way into the city after you've worked all day...  Do you think I could travel from LaGuardia to where you live (via train) and MEET YOU TWO THERE for BBUDDAH that Friday night?  Also have
you heard from SUNITA?  IS SHE JOINING US???
 
***ANIL*** Where do you live?  Are you in contact with the
other two guys: Vakhat and Rajeev???
 
***ROCHELLE*** What are your thoughts on where we should all meet? You're the most familiar with the Transit Systems so you can be of great assistance here...
 
I think we should start talking about HOW/WHERE AND WHEN we want to all meet so we can all see BBUDDAH together
(ALL OF US TOGETHER~at least once) during this opening weekend...and maybe we could all go to dinner after and BOND!  LIKE REAL FAMILY!!!!!
 
Here's my personal email so we can find each other's emails more easily...  valorieinpcb@ibibo.com  ...I would like to have the email addresses of everyone who'll be coming along.
 
Once we've all contacted each other, I think we should trade
cell numbers so we can keep in touch more easily...
 
I'M SO ANXIOUS TO MEET ALL OF YOU!!!!!
 
Love from your EF forever,
 
Valorie Adams
 
PS: VIRAL.....I agree...this rediff poll STINKS...but that doesn't mean we still shouldn't vote, just to spite them.  :D

Val..

Two of the Hindi movie sites that sell tix are Sulekha and Big Cinemas..both have it under "Forthcoming" sections.

http://us.bigcinemas.com

Www.Sulekha.com

That said...the promos could certainly be better advertised.
Oh....don't forget to watch AVS ..on Sunday..a Bbuddha special on this week!!
Also...waiting for u to arrive in NYC!! Let's do this!!

They are by far the most organized and widespread Asian tv channel in the US and Canada (possibly UK too). Ready and all SRK films utilize AVS to really hype their films. AB has interviewed with them before.

I would HATE to go watch it without any lines to enter when DELHI BELLY is getting major crowds! The whole masala/action genre doesn't work overseas argument is totally bull! I saw people lined up for Rajneeti/Dabaang/Ready here in the US.
