Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Part of me is happy for them and part of me really hates to see stupidity rewarded like that.
 
The Chinese theatre has reserved seating.

These guys are making a play to get into the Premiere, which is being held right there at the TCL + El Capitan on Monday (and maybe even the Dolby Theatre?)

This post is exactly what I thought of when I saw the tweet from Meltdown Comics hit my feed.

Once it was clear this weekend they were using the Dolby Theatre too (3000 capacity), It was a lock. So much capacity between all three of those giant screening rooms.
 
This raised a new question for me: I'm going to a run-of-the-mill theater near my house. I'm doing the midnight showing. How insane is it going to be waiting among people going to earlier showings?

How?

That's still not remotely worth it?

That is definitely worth it. Not to me personally but knowing you are watching the movie with the original cast is enough with some. Plus the fact that you are watching it before everyone else.
 
It was still dumb.

Nah, not dumb at all. Watching it before everyone else, watching it with the cast, and then going to the private after party? That's totally worth it. You're assuming you had to be there 24 hours a day. You could have been there for a few hours a day and still gotten in or just stayed there one day and gotten in. You only had to be in line for about 24 hours total, not consecutive hours.

“We’re lining up for the new ‘Star Wars’ movie,” an Australian woman at the front of the queue, Caroline Ritter, told an incredulous-looking couple visiting from Ohio who stopped to inquire and take photos. “Yes, we still have a very long time to wait,” Ms. Ritter added. “No, we’re not crazy

Oh but you are.

Eh they probably were in the Dolby - whereas the cast and VIPs were in El Capitan or TCL.

But still, see it three days early and going to the after party? Bangin
