What???? I guess I'm going to Tulsa then! It's the closest one to me.

Thanks for posting this! One of my favorite books.

Can't wait to see it on the big screen.

You and me both!

Also double dipping and getting the Blu-Ray...I have a 2 disc DVD for it, but none of the extra features are subtitled, so I have no clue what anyone is saying haha.
