Do these people not have lives?

These idiots have been waiting outside Grauman's Chinese Theater for Episode III for seven weeks... SEVEN WEEKS!!

Now, Lucasfilm is saying that it won't be released there on May 19, when RotS opens. Do these people really have nothing else to do than to camp outside waiting for the movie to open? Do they not have jobs? Families to support? Rent to pay? Pets? Anything?

This is probably the movie I've been anticipating the most, but I'm inclined to go on opening day or a day or two after. I don't understand some people.
 
For each person some thing different brings ultimate meaning to their life. These folks seem to believe that sacrificing on the Alter of Lucasfim is the highest calling. :p
 
A couple of guys waited outside the Cinerama in Seattle for months. I forget whether it was Episode I or II, though.

I get home the Friday before the release. I'm growing tempted to camp out, but just the night before.
 
Unless they come up with some sort of porn flick where the audience gets personally serviced by the actresses, no movie is worth that.

So the answer to that question is: no, these do not, in fact, have lives.
 
Yeah, I'm a dolt for not saving it on my PC.

Thr Triump DVD is worth the money.

Star Wars, Westminster Dog show, Triump in Quebec, Bon Jovi Concert, just a disc that never fails to make me laugh.
 
I saw the Triumph DVD and I dont remember half those things being on there. Is there more than one out there?

The local news in Seattle was covering a dude who stuck a small couch out on the sidewalk in front of a theater in downtown. He started his "adventure" almost 6 months ago. I don't know if he is still hanging in, but WHATEVER. To each their own.

On the day the Episode 1 tickets were first available I was driving by a "secondary" theater in the S. Everett, WA area (A nice new theater, just out of the way, but REALLY not really) and saw only 15 or 20 folks in line and did my occasional "WTH" and got 3 tickets in only 1 HOUR, TOPS. These people would go 15 miles the LONG way around just to brag that they had to take a longer road to the same place. :rolleyes:
 
You have to look at all the sections not just the main one. I threw in the DVD yesterday because of this and I had completely forgotten about the American Idol auditions. "Okay leave the comedy to me and sing for real...How did you learn that breath control? How did you learn to sing and suck at the same time?" Damn funny.

It's called "The Best of Triump the Insult Comic Dog" by the way.
 
What I don't understand, is why stand in line? I will have no trouble going to my local megaplex, buying tickets, and seeing the first afternoon matinee, for a reduced price, WITHOUT standing in line for more than a few minutes. So, what's the point?
 
It's a religion for them. They are the geekest of the geekest (of the geekest). They'll die happy knowing they stood in line for the last star wars movie.

To each one their own. :)
 
I really don't get it either. It accomplishes nothing and makes the rest of the world perceive you as idiots. Their days consist of standing in the same spot day after day after day. Do they not get bored? I can only imagine the heckling they endure.

I think I'm going to go stand in line and wait for The Interpreter to open. I'll dress up as a dignitary.

I'd certainly start giving said persons a rent-free existance. :rolleyes:

But suddenly one thing does make sense: ah, these are fans of the prequel series of Star Wars.

I don't think they CAN be bored. ;)

Mighty once again shining the light of truth into the world of darkness that is stupidity.
 
It's the cosplaying, street theatre, singing, and social interaction with the other queuers and passers-by that make it interesting, you know. For the cinema, it's a great free marketing. Usually, the queuers get access to the facilities there while they're waiting. I've never done this myself. But, I actually could. I would just need a laptop and a cellphone or WiFi-connection, and I could keep working at my thesis right there in the queue. .... Naah.
 
God bless Warner's. :D

I feel like such a nerd now...
