(no subject)
last night was pretty random.
after rehearsal for arsenic & old lace a few of us went to see Harry Potter at midnight, but it was already crowded when we got there at 9:45 or so. they opened the theater doors at 10, and we had to wait 2 hours. it sucked. there were nerds EVERYWHERE. out of all the movies i have seen this summer there were more people dressed up at this movie than there were every other movie, and that includes all the johnny depp fags that were at Pirates 3.
i don't understand why people dress up for movies. one guy came as obi-wan kenobi. i did not understand that at all. also, obi-wan kenobi does NOT have a trash-stache. it makes me wonder how much people pay for these getups they wear to the theater. and how often do they wear them? is it a one shot deal where, other than this one night, the costume is left to rot behind boxes of old nintendo games and porn? or do they wear them on a regular basis, eternally convinced that they actually are a wizard or a jedi or an effeminite pirate? this sort of thing is beyond me.
about 20 minutes before the movie started, some douche from the radio grabbed the closest harry poser and got him to follow him around the theater, asking random people questions about all the harry potter shit. they threw a ball around and whoever caught it got to answer a question, and if they were right they were awarded a shitty t-shirt or a cd of their choice. eventually the ball landed in the row in front of us, right in front of my seat. the "witches" in front of me were frantically trying to find the ball, but it was under one of their seats. emily told me this, and, in an act of pure heroism, i hit the floor and picked up the ball, taking all the glory for myself.
so now it was my turn to answer a question that i already knew i wouldn't know the answer to. the douche made his way over, followed bravely by the weird harry potter guy, and asked me my question. "What is the name of the map Harry used to see where people were?" or something like that. i didn't know the answer, and everyone in the theater knew that. even the douche knew that i didn't know it. i looked at holly and emily and they mouthed the answer to me. "A Maurauder's Map!" i said, having no idea if that was what they had told me, or if it was the right answer. i guess it was. alot of people booed, because i had obviously cheated my way to victory. some people clapped though, probably because they were oblivious to the fact that i had cheated, or simply oblivious to what the fuck was going on. so i was given a bunch of cds to choose from. there were only about 4 left, and i already had the snow patrol one, so i chose the gym class heroes, having no idea what they sounded like. did i want the free prize? no. did i deserve the free prize? no. do i HAVE the free prize? you bet your ass i do.
take that, NERDS!
so after all the trivia fuss had calmed down, sage came down from the projection booth and sat with us. the actual movie was okay at best, and its saving grace was the amount of "that's what she said" jokes that could be made. sage burst out laughing at one of the most obvious ones: "It's so big."
it was a fun night. i robbed the nerds of a free prize, claimed witchcraft on the witches in front of us, laughed my ass off, and had a ton of facebook pictures taken.
i don't really like this cd.
