DISQUS

Nicole · 4 months ago

I live in Knoxville and my friends and I are planning to buy tickets to this if they are reasonably priced for the public. It's not nice of you guys to say "WTF - Why Knoxville?" -- The Pinnacle is one of the biggest theaters around, and it's for a charity. Many celebrities have come here to promote their movies and raise money for a good children's cause. Tennessee isn't just a bunch of redneck hicks who are unintelligent, so please hold your judgements. I hope some of you who are close can come and join in this great premiere!

*claps wildly*

I'm just a few hours west of you, Nicole, in Nashville. Thanks for sticking up for the hometown.

mschicklet · 4 months ago

That wasn't my first impression. I have huge respect for TN because of Nashville and whatnot.

I just think it's an odd choice considering those early premieres tend to be NY or Hollywood. But if it's for a good cause then hey, have fun! :) Lucky ducks, you people are!

bella vita · 4 months ago

I live in Knoxville too! Thanks for sticking up for us against the usual annoying stereotype, but in this particular case I don't think you really even needed to. I didn't notice any comments dissing our city on this post yet and honestly my own first thought when I read this post was "WTF? Seriously?". Even though Pinnacle is massive and premieres have been held there before (I distinctly remember Jessica Alba being here for one of her movies a couple years ago), its still pretty unsual for us to have a premiere as huge as New Moon will be. That said, I'm super excited, shocked, but excited and really can't wait to get more details!

I am also from Knoxville and thank you Nicole for sticking up for the home town!! I am so excited and hope to be able to make it also!! :)

jacwo2 · 4 months ago

I'm in Knoxville, too, and I thought it was a bit odd, but you have to remember Regal Cinemas is headquartered in Knoxville. They do an event like this every year, I've just never really cared about the movies they were showing before. I'm soooooo going to this 1 tho! ^_^

autumnn(: · 4 months ago

thanks for standing up for tN(:
my birthday is about a month before this, so i could ask for tickets for my birthday,:) that would be awesome. im in nashville, only a few hours away,
i could take off school for a few days for this, :D

marie_C - Team switz · 4 months ago

don't worry they would say the same of any other places, why? for plain jealousy, we just want our places to be the ones, but it is impossible for them to go to every single place around the world.

ralie_rosalie*TwiSpiRit* · 4 months ago

It looks like we're gonna be one hell of a band :D:D

With a little luck, we may even make it into the 'Eclipse' soundtrack;D

*sighs*

;PP :))

AlmaM1231 · 4 months ago

Sweet! Gotta warm up my vocals then. Don't want you guys to put me to shame *clears throat and starts to vocalize* LOL :D

ralie_rosalie*TwiSpiRit* · 4 months ago

Ahah you're not the only one who will be put to shame :D I suggest we rehearse before we go on the road... We don't want to disappoint the cast, right? Especially, the male part of it... :D

*drinks hot tea for soft voice* rofl :D

AlmaM1231 · 4 months ago

You got a point. Rehearse we must! Make sure you put honey in that tea. Hey, it's what most singers do so it can't hurt right?

*does mental chant of "must impress the hunks, must impress the hunks*
ROFL

ralie_rosalie*TwiSpiRit* · 4 months ago

That's right ;PP And yes - there's always honey.. ;)

I just hope that Effing is OK with the plan.. After all, she's the one with the car, right?

*keeps fingers crossed*

ScarletI *Team Pea Coat!!!* · 4 months ago

GOOD PLAN!!!!

Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker · 4 months ago

I sure as heck hope so...if you can make it to my area we can hop in my car and go really fast to Tennessee!!!

Thinking of all the screaming 13 year olds that will be there is kind of a turn off, but...Rob...that's a turn ON!

Maddy · 4 months ago

Jessica · 4 months ago

thats still way cheaper than I had imagined, knowing its for charity and all, wow maybe I can actually afford to go! I'm only 45 minutes away from Turkey creek so I think I'll at least try.

CJean>Leader of Team Leg Hitch · 4 months ago

Bethany · 4 months ago

Awesome! I live five minutes away from this movie theatre and my hubby works there too!

TheHoneyBear · 4 months ago

uuhhh. i live in freaking California..
and this doesn't even make sense to me. why Tennessee?

charlotte · 4 months ago

there is nothing wrong with tennessee. everyone just thinks its a southern state and we are all hillbillys because of the hannah montana movie and such. its becaus regals cinemas where the corporate headquarters.

TheHoneyBear · 4 months ago

no, i didn't mean it like that. i don't think it's wrong or anything.
it's just that big movies like New Moon always have premieres in either Los Angeles or New York.
it's not the usual thing, you know.

Whitney · 4 months ago

my birthday is november 18...
too bad knoxville is too far away from my hometown! :/
but at least its for a good cause. :)
i think its great that they are doing this for charity!

Maia · 4 months ago

It's awesome news that Breaking Dawn will me made. Seeing that all the Directors for the first 3 movies will be in post-production, I think the best director to take charge of Breaking Dawn is Peter Jackson. I'm sure you all know who that is. He was the director who directed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The trilogy was awesome. The effects they had in that movie was awesome. The computer generated animation was awesome. Peter Jackson definitely knows something about CGI work.

Maia · 4 months ago

Whoops...sorry. Wrong area to put my comment in...lol.

Victoria · 4 months ago

OMG Im soooo excited I live like 5 mins away and go to that movies all the time!! I cant believe they would chose knoxville!!!

Musicgirl77 · 4 months ago

Regal Entertainment Group --the largest theater group in the country is based out of Knoxville. That's why we often get cool charity movie premieres here. Knoxville is actually a really cool university town--not the stereotypical southern city.

EmmettLover · 4 months ago

OMG!!! I live like in Alabama sooooooo i can probably go! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Georgie · 4 months ago

I'm in Alabama, too! 350 Miles at the MOST!

4 hours, or 6 hours, depending on my choice of route. Going through Georgia, to Tennessee. Me and my bro, or a family trip? It would be fun. Lots of begging to do, though.

kapoo · 4 months ago

The reason for this being in Knoxville is because that is where the corporate headquarters of Regal Cinemas is.

katie · 4 months ago

Knoxville is where Regal Cinemas were created... so it makes perfect sense

Kyfarmgirl10 · 4 months ago

I live in KY which isn't that far away !! Any idea when the tickets go on sale in september ??

Meredith · 4 months ago

Okay, I have it planned out, and my Parents are amazing. My mom said that if I make all A's and B's this year, that she'll go camp out there for me to get tickets. If I continue to make good grades, then I can skip school for a couple of days and go camp out for the premiere. I am so excited. I think this is really great that they chose a smaller town to do this in, and it's truly a gift from God that is close to me and so many other Twilighters.

Christoph · 4 months ago

dig it!

Madison Elizabeth Jindrak · 4 months ago

I live in Knoxville. And I was soooo excited to hear that new moon would be at the pinnacle.....until i read all these comments about the people who think they are cool to take a trip down here and we will have all the tourists and they will think they can use our movie theatre.....but about the post what the heck is "of all places" supposed to mean? ITs flipping AWESOME THAT IT WILL BE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! I mean CA and NYC probably get a lot of premieres like this.

rmgm · 4 months ago

live 35 minutes away hopefully i can get tickets. hey tn is good .

theladyinthemoon · 4 months ago

can i get a holy hel yes ladies new moon is coming to knoxville woohoo im so excited i cant wait. if you hear of the crazy fan that passes out and hopefuly on rob its me lmao.

Susan Lape Keen · 4 months ago

We are travelling in from Nashville! Hell Yes! I am sooo damn excited!

Melanie · 4 months ago

WHAT IS "OF ALL PLACES" I MEAN COME ON!!!!! you think we are some stupid country freaks and we are not like that at all!!!!!! so get some freaking manners and respect and put it to good use!!!!!!!! ok so the Pinnacle got Miley Cyrus. *BOO* she is no fun at all. i mean who cares. those were little kids being happy not the cool people.. its just sooo not cool that these corn muffins can be all like WHOO HOO ROAD TRIP!!! first of all you have to BUY THEM IN PERSON!!! ok next they go on sale before the premier. so then they will prolly go on sale like a month before and what are you gunna do for a month stay in a hotel??? and ur wanting to spend a ton of $ for a hotel and food for a month and its not gunna work. ok you will get the premier in CA and NYC so. STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!! mmk are we clear!!! i believe we are... and if your close to knoxville east tn even you can be allowed to come. cause you are TN ppl but if you are no where close to TN dont even think about it. i dont care if you are in another state and have family here.. so if you see a lot of girls who are giving you looks itll be me and my friends. ok. cause we are all going. and every1 who lives in knoxville will prolly get tickets before you even get gas to come here. and you cant get them mailed so dont even try to get friends to get them for you. it wont work... thats all i have to say.. (btw im pissed if you havent guessed.)

Tiffany · 4 months ago

So I am totally excited about this.....I only live like an hour and a half away from Knoxville, well Turkey Creek at least. I am so going to try my hardest to get tickets to this. I am so glad that they are doing this to benefit charity. Its about time we get something worth going to see at the Pinnacle 18. Can't wait to see all my Tennesseans out there.......

Amber · 4 months ago

I live in Knoxville too! I have actually been trying to get a job at Pinnacle because I watch so many movies there, this is just all the more reason to get the job! One of my really good friend's dad is a head guy at the Knoxville Regal so I am going to try to get him to get his dad to pull some strings haha... Pinnacle is awesome and there have been stars come out for these events like, Brendan Fraiser, Dane Cook, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Johnny Knoxville (even though he is from Knoxville lol) Sean William Scott, Will Ferrell, etc... all of them have stars out front on the sidewalk... the tickets usually aren't more than $100 for these events for it should be affordable for any twilight fan haha... and it all goes to the Children's Hospital so that makes it all the more worth it... I hope all the stars come out for it that would be great... Maybe they will head to Bar Knox for the after party... glad I'm 23! lol

Tiffany879 · 4 months ago

Its going to be so hard to get tickets though, they only have so many for the public and the rest are for sponsor packages. We will have to get there like really early to make sure we get tickets. Its really awesome that they are doing this for the childrens hospital, they could really use the money. I wonder if you don't get tickets if you can still come out and meet the stars. Because if I can't get them I still wanna see whoever comes out.

Melanie · 4 months ago

ya i know. if not then i would be so sad. and i would just have to push some ppl out of the way. cause thats prolly whats gunna happen... lol :D

Tiffany879 · 4 months ago

I know right lol!!!!!!! I would really love to actually meet them, but I would be ok with being there and just seeing them walk in. I am so excited, I can't wait. I guess we will have to get there super early.

Bonnie · 4 months ago

Bahaha, I live like 2 exits over from Turkey Creek. Suck it, New York & LA.

queenpetunia · 4 months ago

i think it rocks that alot of people are actually being nice to us east tennesseans and those of you who don't like the fact that we are getting the premier its just because your jealous and plus you are also mad because you can't buy the tickets off the net and your just mad about it i am going to the premier with my friends in a limo which is just going to be so awsome i love the fact that new moon is coming to knoxville,tn because thats my home town and thats like when october sky was shot here in knoxville and also other places but, the whole cool thing about it is when i got to meet the cast of that movie ...
