Meanwhile in a parallel universe… again

A grand event, myself and all of my near­est loved ones treked out to Fox Stu­dios to watch the first pub­lic screen­ing of “Star Wars — Attack of the Clones”.
This is sig­nif­i­cant because it is the first change to the tra­di­tion for a good few years. Back when the Spe­cial Edi­tion came out we all went along to see it at mid­night screen­ings, some dressed up, some did­n’t, a fun time was had by all. But since the release of “The Phan­tom Men­ace” the cin­e­ma which these mid­night screen­ings had occured at had been ‘ren­o­vat­ed’ (thou butchered is a bet­ter word). It is no longer suit­ed for such fes­tive occa­sions. So we moved our tra­di­tion to the Fox Stu­dios cin­e­ma instead. This worked well, the large open area out the front was per­fect for being seen to be dressed as Queen Ami­dala.
There is some­time mag­i­cal about the crowd you get at a mid­night screen­ing. The crowd is alive with ener­gy and excit­ment, it is the only way to enjoy the Star Wars saga.
Not.
It is a pit­ty that this is not the way things will play out. Due to the Machi­avel­lian maneu­vers of my friends it seems I’ll be luk­cy to see the movie in it’s first week. I’m fuck­ing pissed off about this, make no mis­take. I fail to under­stand the events that have tran­spired to cause this situ­ta­tion. It feels like I’m being pun­ished by exclu­sion… so I must have done some­thing wrong… wan­der what the hell it was?
