CULTURE: This is not the theater you are looking for ...

Sometimes geeks aren't as bright as we assume them to be.

"They're not showing it here? Fuck it! We don't believe you!"

Seven weeks? Do they not have jobs?

Geeks aren't necessarily smart, they're just retards who couldn't socialise properly because they sat at home watching to much Star Wars.

Someone call Triumph.

its just a ploy by the media to get them to give up the good seats. not going to happen

I am friends with nerds, and i realize something. Anyone who can camp outside a theathre for 7 weeks, and not be missed, is dead. They don't even exist in the real world. Wouldn't it be sad knowing that if you stopped existing nothing at all would change? And that you are pathetic enough to camp outside a building in order to see a movie. A Movie. first. so they can chat about it on forums and blogs and talk about how leet they are.

for shame!

ps. theyerg is right, we all know those CNN reporters are gonna stela the good seats

geez, what will they do it if it's shit?

Great title for the article...

And does human stupidity know no bounds???

i refuse to queue for most things..
Queuing for 7 weeks takes the piss slightly.

What will they do if its shit? hopefully get a life... but i highly doubt it.

Love it?

It's a ploy, I tell you. A ploy!

Cognitive Dissonance

Pretty weird and pathetic - Here's what it would take: a phone call to the Arclight down the street.

I think it's kind of a shame too that Grauman's Chinese is not showing it, but ever since the Arclight came into being, the grand old theatre has steadily been going downhill in terms of major releases they get. It sometimes is neck and neck with the Arclight, but in fact the Arclight is a much better movie and digital theatre all around.

Certainly is a LOT better for waiting (I've been passing the last few crazy-people lines, living in Hollywood, and while it's all a nice party atmosphere, things get pretty "living on the street"-ish after awhile. VERY yukky.

The Arclight - not on the boulevard, a restaurant, a huge patio, interesting events, 10 movies to see at any time, the Cinerama Dome, and while it's living outside, they really should be happier for the safty if nothing else.

My 2 cents.

My friend told me about geeks that camped out for three days at a theater in Erie, PA to see the Phantom Menace, and the first showing of the movie at that theater didn't even sell out. Now that would make you feel dumb.

I don't think I could stand to wait in a long line to see a movie, let alone camp out. Maybe I have no patience.

This is really sad

Seriously, your slang is top fucking notch.

if you think about it... they are really just deadheads of a different stripe. i wouldnt call it pathetic, its just what they do.

7 weeks without a shower!
yeah the girls/guys will be all over them

dear lord I hope someone does.

Forgive me for being a stupid blonde "American wanker" or whatever wacky nickname I'd get...

"Queuing"? Explain...are you calling Star Wars fans queer?

Que = line

Queuing = waiting in line.

It's a British/Austrailan term..

And in one of those quirky little tidbits:
Q: what is the most you can shorten a word in English without changing its pronunciation?
A: Queue - Q

Its also the longest uninterrupted string of vowels in an English word.


GEEK!

if your analogy was a Griffnut, it would be "Public Enemy #1" at the Fruit of the Loom R&D lab.

what, like the other two?? just be out $12 I guess
