OKAY SO OMG IT WAS AWESOME SHUT UP THAT IS NOT A SPOILER IT IS AN OPINION
DUDE.
OKAY.
The cinema I went to - not the only one doing a midnight opening in this state - was not only sold out. It was sold out FOUR TIMES. FOUR TIMES! They sold out their first showing and opened another, and then another, and then another, and they had all sold out. I had not been aware they had four screenings! (I WAS IN THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY STARTED AT MIDNIGHT, but there were 12:05, 12:10, and 12:15 showings, as well.)
WTF HOW AM I IN A POPULAR FANDOM. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN. I AM SO CONFUSED I seriously spent the thirty minutes I sat waiting for the movie to start going "What the hell how are there so many people here?"
Because the midnight screening of the first movie had like... twenty people at it, tops. (And six of them where there because I dragged them there. Well, okay, five. One of them was me. Though I suppose technically I dragged myself there, as well.)
They showed the trailer for 9 which made me go YAY and the trailer for Avatar which made me go "eeeerg" and start whispering things to my mother, and then they showed a disaster flick trailer and the G.I. Joe one. And then they showed us the movie and I was FULL OF GLEE FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS AND NOW I AM SUPPOSED TO SLEEP? THAT IS PROBABLY NOT HAPPENING!
THANK GOD I DO NOT HAVE TO GET UP AND GO BOATING TOMORROW OR I WOULD PROBABLY DIE.
Instead I can go see it again or something, or maybe I'll be able to pass out before the sun rises I don't know I AM SO WOUND RIGHT NOW AREN'T YOU GLAD IN 2007 THAT I WAS IN PROVIDENCE AND NOT ANYWHERE NEAR A COMPUTER OR INTERNET ACCESS AFTER THEY SHOWED US THE MOVIE EARLY? I literally sat on my cot in the hotel room grinning and unable to calm down for like an hour and it was so much worse than this because of convention buzz and the first time I'd ever seen them on the big screen at all and because it was the best movie-watching experience of my life and and and I AM SORRY I LOVE MY FANDOM SO MUCH OKAY? I KNOW NONE OF YOU CARE ABOUT IT BUT I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR NOT CARING.
Oh. I'm talking about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (the new movie), in case you, you know, didn't know that. Seeing as how I've not actually mentioned that yet.
And yes of course it had its problems and places where I was going 'dear lord enough already' and everything but... oh for god's sake i shouldnt feel like i have to defend my liking something on my own damn journal SO I AM NOT GOING TO RIGHT NOW
(GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)
AND WHILE I'M HERE SQUEEING OVER TRANSFORMERS, yesterday Amazon sent me an e-mail telling me they'd shipped my copy of the score, so it could be here as early as tomorrow! er. Today! Which is a week and a half sooner than they'd estimated shipping it which is, while not entirely surprising, still pretty awesome.
