(323) 462-9609

That is the number to the phone booth that's right outside the Mann's Chinese Theater. This is a direct line to those nerds waiting in line for the Episode III film.

My first conversation basically ended up with a guy spouting incoherent nonsense for a good 10 seconds. Afterwards I asked if he was a Star Wars nerd and he replied yes then hung-up. Feeling a bit saddened by my non-event of a phone call I tried again. After about 10 minutes of busy signal I finally got through and I was determined to spark a conversation. When he picked up I promptly told him that within the first 15 minutes Mace Windu reveals himself as a Sith and betrays the Jedi Order. For some reason I must have gotten a clueless nerd (a real fan would have read the script by now) since he began to curse me out for spoiling the movie for him. He threw every foul word in the book at me while I was trying not to laugh. It was rather hysterical but I'm not mean so I promptly told him it was a lie, to which he apologized and immediately hung up.

Lol

*starts dialing*

 

[Willco]

Haha, this thread has potential.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Haha, this thread has potential.

Damn straight, I can't wait to hear some of the stories.

Be patient though, the number is busy 90% of the time during the peak hours. Thankfully, for comedic purposes, someone is always awake so calling during the night shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Space Age Playboy]

Sounds like fun!

 

[AzN_F15h]

oh this is gonna be fun.....

 

[B'z-chan]

Man get some trekkies and quick this is gonna be awsome.

 

[LakeEarth]

I thought nerds are supposed to be smart?

 

[Boogie9IGN]

This is so evil but I love it

 

[Bigfoot]

I thought nerds are supposed to be smart?

Yeah, so did I. Shouldn't we be calling them "Star Wars Geeks" instead of "Star Wars Nerds"?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i was reading in the paper the other day that Episode 3 isn't even going to be shown at the Mann's Chinese theatre. All these losers are camping out there in sort of a geek protest hoping to get Lucas to show the movie at Mann's instead of the theatre across the street.

 

[cubanb]

dont forget to record these conversations!

 

[Mashing]

Someone needs to call and pretend to be Triumph the Insult Dog. Hilaritiy ensues.

 

[evil ways]

Somebody needs to call while blasting the old Star Wars disco theme loud in the background.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Say Wrath of Kahn is better than Empire Strikes Back...

shit no, even better, say Superman 3 is better! No no! Wait! SISTER ACT!

 

[ChrisReid]

Busy signal.

 

[ohamsie]

busy signal.

I'll try again at 4 in the morning.

 

[Space Age Playboy]

Triumph was hilarious at the last one.

Want to hear a spoiler?

Sure.

You will die alone.

Not across the street...like ten blocks down the street. And, they said the same thing last time, and last time they ended up showing it at Mann's anyways. So, chances are they will not be at the wrong theatre.

 

[Drozmight]

Lol.

Hello. Yeah, my son... might be there.

Who?

Pablo. Pablo Hitchins.

What's he look like?

He's white if that narrows it down some.

*click*

:lol :lol

 

[RaymondCarver]

I called and some girl answered with "Hello."
Then, some guy in the background said, "Say Star Wars Line."
Then the girl said, in the same lacadasical voice, "Star Wars Linel."




It's not hard to believe people are already waiting for something like this. What's the reason behind this? Are they waiting for tickets? Protesting? What?

 

[RaymondCarver]

update.....


woah crap: They're lining up for six more weeks. That's hard to believe. Intensity.

 

[aparisi2274]

someone call up and pull a Bart Simpson, and pretend your son is on line, and his name is I.P Freely or Al Coholic, or something funny where they wont catch on right away, see if anyone can get him to yell out the name...

 

[Groder Mullet]

I asked Larry if he was sexy. He said he had a 12" lightsaber.

 

[Ironclad]

I'll wait until much later to call just I will wake some unlucky bastard up.

The funny thing is that supposedly, the Mann's Chinese Theater isn't showing Episode III. If true, these people will have waited so long for nothing.

I find it unlikely that the kind of person who would wait in line for Star Wars at the start of April hasn't seen Simpsons or Porky's

 

[ohamsie]

Crap, still busy.

I want to ask who their favorite jedi is

 

[Iceman]

I'll try again at 4 in the morning.

roofles. you're a bastard.

 

[Otaking]

I'm tempted to call. Wonder if they'll be mean or nice to me if I call. I'm seriously interested in a conversation with them, just to see how it would go.

They are all quite nice. They will answer with the de-facto "Star Wars Line" and strike up a conversation. Basically they have all the time in the world but they like to keep tabs from which state and city people are calling from.

Since I revealed the phone number to my friends yesterday they all went on a crank calling spree and some genuine gems were pulled from those conversations. We had some hysterical moments while they were on speaker on a cell while we were out at a restaurant.

They're lining up for charity, damnit.

Okay, I called at 4 in the morning (Ohio time, so it wasn't like it would be TOO late for them) and I actually got through! It was so awesome. I told the guy who answered that I thought they were rad to be waiting in line so early. I also asked him who his favorite jedi was. He said "Darth Meat Head." And I was like, cool, cool.

Boom!

 

[BobbyRobby]

Those guys are weak. I called them up pretending I was in an argument with a friend about two creatures in Jabba's Palace. They didn't know who Ree-Yees, or Klattu were. They told me to go into the Star Wars section at Barnes & Noble and find the book on Alien races.

They said there are about 15 people waiting in line.

probably new trilogy fans that refer to the movie Star Wars as "A New Hope" or "Episode IV"

I hate those guys, not that I know shit about jabba dudes, but then I'm not waiting in line answering geek hotline

If you think that's funny, wait til you see the part I ripped my avatar from. Black Gandalf attacking Triumph the Comic Insult Dog at a Star Wars 2 Premier.

Best line--
Darth Vader to triumph: This would be my chest box to help me breathe.
Triumph: So this is to help you breathe?
Vader: Yes.
Triumph: So which one of these buttons calls your parents to come and pick you up?

There's no way the shitacular new movies could have spawned fans.
