Although I am long not saturated with gorgeous pictures of a specific attractive man, I am actually very curious to hear/read reactions to the film. I haven’t yet been able to find a newspaper/website review of The Lodge, but some reactions have been tweeted by people who attended the midnight premiere. To make it easier for everyone to read them, I have compiled them here in a Twitter Moment. To be updated.
Also, I am praying that someone filmed the 2am (!!!) Q&A seís after the screening. Anybody seen any trace of that, yet?

Thank you, darling G!! Excellent fan service.
From the little I’ve read, I will most definitely not be watching that.

LOL – that’s why I was so keen on finding out more about the film. From what I have heard so far I can only agree with you. Definitely not my cuppa.

Gut-punching psycho stuff leaving the Sundance crowd (who are much less fraidy-Katey than me, I would assume) sleepless? Gulp! Yeah, no. 😐 Somebody take pretty screencaps please!

Well, I just want the fangirl cut – Richard only. I understand that he is a supporting character in this, so hopefully that means that he is not dealing with the horror full-on. I also hope that that means he survives *eeek*

That’s how I feel. My plan, if I ever have an opportunity, is to watch only until his character leaves the rest of the group at the Lodge. I think that’s before any weird stuff happens. I’ll depend on others to fill me in on the entire plot and twists

yeah, it’s become very trendy to do these types of films-i was genuinely surprised when i saw Toni Collettes name pop up in one-now i know she did The Sixth Sense and tha’s a bit scary and spooky-which i don’t mind-but i get the impression this is on another level-and it’s really not my bag baby

Yep, that would be fine with me. And I’ll take the happy reunion at the end, too. Definitely not keen on any horror stuff in the middle…

It seems interesting. I find most horror movies not scary at all, but mainly gross when they are splatter or just stupid because the characters act without any logic (there’s a monster/serial killer around, let’s split to explore the house 🙄).
To make a good horror movie is difficult, I hope they succeeded (and I think I’ll go watching if it arrives in theaters here)

Yes, me too, Sparkhouse, me too – relaxed and cooooool. And I love love love how tall he is. (I just don’t get why he often mentions that as something he finds/found a disadvantage.)

I can somewhat understand him. As a woman who is 5’11, I am often the tallest person in a group, including many men. All my life people have told me to slow down, take smaller steps, not to run. I have to bend down to hear certain conversations. You’re just always the odd one out.
I’ve read that many actors are on the shorter side, so he always towers over people. If you’re more of a person who doesn’t want to push into the foreground, it can be annoying. You always get noticed.

Adding one more thing: In the very beginning it would’ve been especially tough for him. Starting out in musical theater, you are usually part of the chorus and that’s about uniformity. He would not have fit in well. (Isn’t there an interview where he says he had a special top hat 🎩 that was shortened?)
I know when I danced (in an all girl dance troupe) that was also a bit of a problem. I was so much taller than the rest, I always threw off the aesthetics.

Yeah, he definitely stood out in musical theatre. In the footage I have seen of Cats you can definitely tell who he is. (Even though he always denies that it is him.)

I can definitely understand that it is hard to be a tall woman, Kate. And I suppose the point really is that actors by and large seem to be rather short, and thus he stands out there, too.

I did a little study of the pics that were posted and he has ‘tall guy pose’ in many of them—making himself (unconsciously?) smaller.

Yep. He does. And that’s also my lasting memory of him at the stage door – always making himself smaller. He is very aware of his height… or very fan friendly 😉

I can answer that, Kate. As a tall person myself (your height) I have been face to face with RA a few times (stage doors, etc.) He looks me straight in the eye, and I am not craning my neck to look into his. With shoes on, I am probably only about an inch shorter than him. I have also been face to face with Graham (Hobbit premiere in LA and a long story) and he seemed shorter, maybe because he is bulkier. But his eyes are so intensely blue, them seem backlit. IMDB has them both at 6ft. 2, but when asked about his height, RA has given many different answers over the years. If you are like me, as a tall woman you like your men to be tall as well, so I have always paid attention to height. Probably too much. Is there such a thing as a “hightist”?

So he adapts to his environment. As I thought. Maybe I’ll make a post with shots of ‘tall guy pose’ sometime. It might be an unconscious thing. I find myself slouching involuntarily. It’s so ingrained to try and get level with other people.
And yeah, I’m a heightist as well. Everyone is usually shorter, so I like my guy to be taller. 🤷🏻♀️

This one’s a no go for me so I’ll be waiting to see the fan cut too. I read there is a big shock at the end so that doesn’t bode well for him dropping back in for a happy reunion. I would love to know his reaction to the film after he viewed the screening. It had to be way more disturbing to see it in its entirety than the scenes he experienced filming.

You know, that is exactly what I was wondering, too. I mean, tehre is a massive difference between *acting* in a horror movie, and actually watching it. I’d say acting isn’t really that scary – after all you know how all the effects are made. So, given that he always said he didn’t like horror, how did he fare with the film?

I got the impression from the Q&A after the premiere showing that the young girl who plays the daughter had watched it, which is a bit disturbing to me as a parent. She appears to be only about twelve.
