Clone Wars: The lazypadawan review
Aug. 9th, 2008 01:25 pmA couple of weeks ago at Comic Con, after I missed the fan club breakfast and had to pop a lot of meds because of my neck, I looked to the sky and said, "God, you owe me." Well, I think He was returning a favor by having this preview pass inexplicably dumped in my lap. Really, had I not been out of town last Wednesday-Thursday for my brother's wedding, I would've picked up my copy of KOTOR as per usual and not been in the store when they were giving out passes for this screening.
I had never been to a preview screening before. I read the legalese on the paper I'd received and saw that the pass wasn't a guarantee of admission. If I got there late and the seats were full, too bad. So I got to the theater an hour beforehand and saw that there was a big line out in the hot sun. There were lots of SW fans of all ages and I noticed that many people brought their younglings. While waiting to get in, a theater employee told us we couldn't bring in any electronic devices whatsoever. No Game Boys, no iPods, no digital cameras, and...no cell phones. Of course, I had a cell phone with me. Fortunately the people in line with me were cool so they held my spot when I went back to my car to leave my cell phone there.
Finally I got in and before they let me into the auditorium, security guys checked my purse. The auditorium was already mostly full and it wasn't easy finding a decent seat not marked off for the press. Ultimately most of the seats were filled by the time the flick got rolling at 10:30.
( So you really wanna know what I think (spoilers)? )
