Go watch Iron Man 3 in the theaters! It's a great way to begin summer movie season! :)
So much love for everything in that movie. I want to snog RDJ and GP and everyone else involved in the movie. I can't wait to see it again. Have to try to see Disconnect next weekend for Alexander Skarsgård just in case it leaves theaters quickly around here because it's an indie.
After watching Iron Man 3, my friends and I had a nice late lunch at a pub. And my friends
curls and
treeofstars and I capped the awesome Saturday by watching Return of the Jedi - 35 mm 1997 print at the Egyptian Theater (same theater ROTJ premiered 30 years ago) with a fun crowd that laughed, clapped, and reacted throughout on May the 4th aka Star Wars Day. Doesn't get much better than that. I borrowed my friend J's Ewok cowl and ended up having a couple of people take pictures of me and my Ewok stuffed animals (Wicket, Wiley, and Leeni). The theater even posted a pic they took of me in my get up on Facebook. (thanks to J. for the find) I don't even remember taking the pic. :) It was so surreal but still really fun. I teared up a bit when the movie scrawl began since I was so emotional about finally seeing a childhood movie in the theater after all these years. And remembering the experience! (I was only 7 when it first opened) I then had a dopey grin on my face the rest of the movie and held my Wicket up a little bit for the celebration at the end. Yes, I geek to the extreme. :) They all look gorgeous on the big screen, especially Han and Leia.. just big sighs. Leia's slave outfit got a clap by someone when it first appeared. She just looked ridiculously hot. And then Han looked so damn handsome. Just so much to love. And then it was all topped by Mark Hamill (right after seeing Luke Skywalker on screen) walk in during a contest to talk to us for about 10 minutes or so. I flipped.. it was so awesome! This kind of stuff only happens in LA for the most part, which is why I love that city so much. Then we fan girl with photo-ops outside - I got pictures with Boba Fett then Darth Vader and two Storm Troopers outside. I fist bumped one of the Storm Troopers on my way out. It was an excellent fandom Saturday. :)
Anyway, I'm exhausted but so happy with such a great day and being able to enjoy it with my friends. Best Saturday I've had in a long time. :)
