Well I now have seen the movie twice, with a third time approaching either tonight or tomorrow lol. I absolutely loved the movie, though I do have a few nitpicks (for instance - Scully as a brain surgeon?!). But still, it was great:) It was so cool to see Mulder and Scully again on the big screen, and I'm a shipper so of course I was extremely happy. Though I have to say the experience of going was not quite as good as I expected. I went to Pittsburgh Thursday night for the midnight showing, and there wasn't any 'waiting in line,' until maybe 15 minutes or so before they let us in, which for me is the part I enjoy and why I get there early - to talk to and meet people. I didn't really see a lot of die-hard fans and the theater was not sold out, probably at only about half capacity (though it is a huge theater space). Though getting VIP seats to sit in squashy armchairs was cool. I didn't take any photos since there wasn't really much to photograph. I am hoping it wasn't as full simply because there had been a 9pm showing (and wtf is up with that?!). Evidently some places in Pittsburgh, I guess the comic book store there, gave away tickets to an advanced screening. That pissed me off. The advanced screenings for the other movies I have been going to I got from the comic book store closer to me, but NDC had no mention of this one, only the movie I have been waiting years for:( Hell, I would have went all the way to NY for the premiere, if only they had had one there. Why do I have to be on the east coast? Lol. Friday evening at my second viewing was even less of an event. The theater was actually empty up until closer to the movie, and in the end the room was maybe a third full at most. I guess I'm just spoiled now with going to HP openings lol. I just hope it's just my town here, because if they don't make enough on this movie there may not be more (so go see it to help!!!!) I have written a review of the movie, that will soon be up on MediaBlvd. There is also an interview over there with the main cast and crew, unfortunately I had nothing to do with that. So stay tuned for the review and I also soon plan to post a fairly detailed recap that I started writing, though don't expect something as long as my normal recaps as I can't sit and rewind it, I only have the notes I took to go by. I will probably make at least one more post to rave (and maybe a little rant) about the movie as well. Did any of you see it? Let me know what you thought! And if you do go, be sure to stay until after the credits:)
