Sex and the City 2 -- will you see it? will you party?
We are looking forward to it.
Here in our city(ies), there are numerous parties planned, including several at theaters. VIP parties, no less. By invitation.
Do you have to be someone to get an invite? or perhaps, did you have to be one of the partying-dress up-types from the last movie?
I intended to go to the midnight showing, the first night/day, just slink in, unknown, and enjoy... but perhaps that is not possible.
Midnight movie madness
I like the ambiance of the midnight showings of movies. Everyone is out for a good time. Sometimes seeing a movie a second time at a more sedate showing, the audience is less into it, so the enjoyment factor ratchets down.
There is something to be said for enjoying a movie en masse, even for being one of the first to see it, instead of viewing it in the privacy of your own home, months later.
Finding a theater when traveling
It gets tricky seeing the first midnight showing when you are traveling.
A few years ago one of the Harry Potter movies came out and BookGirl wanted to see it badly. I knew she did. And we were on the road. All day I kept it in thought. She was getting more and more unhappy. I kept thinking: How the heck would we know where a movie was on the road? How could we even stop? She was thinking that it was going to be impossible and that no one knew she wanted to see it.
And her Dad just kept trekking on and on and on, later and later into the evening, oblivious. Ha! We ended up stopping about 10 pm at perhaps the only exit with a theater within a 100 miles. It was a scant mile from our hotel. (And of course, it isn't mentioned at exits.) And wonder of wonders, in the midst of heavy movie goers, we were able to get two tickets to one of the additional theaters they had opened. (Dad stayed at the hotel, sleeping with the younger sibs.) It was certainly a God-thing, serendipity at its greatest. We still talk about it.
How about you?
