Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim.

Its actually reaching a point where it doesn't matter if I _want_ to see 
a movie in a theatre (which admittedly I don't very much any more) but 
the theater chain that basically has a monopoly in the county I live in 
has been shutting theatres down for several years now.  In the last five 
years we have probably lost at least half of the screens we had.
