I'm going to post this before smirky_turkey does, because hers will be fifty times more fabulous and I don't like being upstaged. Hee. ;)
Anyway, today I went along to my local cinema, which is in itself pretty normal, but it just so happened to be the Australian premiere of December Boys. Which is a little Australian film that just so happens to star Daniel Radcliffe. So, y'know - I went. As you do. I always get this little thrill of pride when they decide to stage film premieres here - because you should understand, it's in the suburbs. It's not in a huge complex, it's not in the middle of the city. But it's Art Deco and on the Heritage lists and all, and is really quite pretty, so I guess that factors above the glitz and glamour of the city cinemas. (I've also heard that because it has a rooftop bar, the actors prefer to sit there and drink rather than watch the film, but meh.)
I took pictures. Most of which were crap because my camera decided to blur everything and respond r e a l l y s l o w l y. Or those stupid security people/journos kept moving in the way, grr.
Nikki Blonsky, albeit blurred. My God, she was so short! For anyone else who cares, there are some Home & Away guys on either side of her. Don't know, don't care.
I didn't take pictures, but cars were pulling up with people emerging (some more famous than others!). Each time a car pulled to the curbside, you could feel everyone thinking, "IS IT HIM IS IT HIM IS IT HIM?"
And then it was.
And I totally saw him before everyone else ('cause then they all started screaming). *giggles* And I was at the very front of the barricade (even though I was on the "wrong" side of the road) and my friend and I waved as he drove past us and he waved right back. I'm like, "DAN JUST WAVED RIGHT AT ME, BEAT THAT YOU THIRTEEN YEAR OLD TEENYBOPPERS!" You got it, bitches. ;)
And that would be the back of his head. Like I said, I was on the wrong side of the road so I mostly got the backs of everyone. Meh.
More signing and bloody security people in the way, blah blah.
Getting interviewed by that Richard Wilkins wanker. I still haven't forgiven him for interviewing Keanu and Sandra at the Oscars last year and asking the blandest questions imaginable.
Funky security dude who told us, after Dan had disappeared inside, that he'd be back in two minutes. About ten seconds later he got told through his earpiece that Dan wasn't coming back out after all. Sigh. He did try to give out posters though, although we didn't get one.
Sigh. I fanchicken my darling little cinema. People were saying he was going to appear at the beer garden area, on that platform there, but he didn't. Not that I saw, anyway. It's really weird to see that many people there, and all the barricades and everything.
And that would be all. Only stood there for about ninety minutes, as opposed to muldy and smirky_turkey who were there for at least three hours. But they did get really close. And squashed. I got the sun in my eyes instead, but that's okay. ;)
Edit: Apparently he got overwhelmed by the number of people who rocked up (article here). Hee.
*goes back to watching Dan on Leno* 'Cause while I may hate the Harry Potter films, I like him as a person. "It's herb, because there's an H at the beginning of it!" HAHA, FTW.
On a more depressing note, I have an essay due tomorrow and I haven't written a word yet. And it's already midnight. Kill me, please?
