The Last Stand
One of the cool things about living in Hollywood is that you can go see a movie (say, X-Men: The Last Stand) at a well-known theater (say, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre) on opening night, and find out that the director was at the same showing. Of course, not knowing what Brett Ratner looks like, I couldn’t pick him out of the group he was in. But still, pretty cool.
As for the movie itself, I think it might be the first time that I wanted more action and less story in a movie. Because really, the story part was quite depressing. Although hearing Juggernaut say “I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!” did a lot to cheer me up.
I’ve seen many a positive reaction to a trailer in movie theaters, but nothing quite like the frenzy during the preview of Snakes On A Plane. Wackiness all around.
