Hah!
What a weekend!!
This won't be a movie review, but an "experience review". You can read a thousand reviews if you want.
Cori picked me up at the airport wearing a damn Iron Man T-shirt! Crazy!!
We checked in to the Sheraton and once we got to our room, Cori bestowed many "gifts".
First, a T-shirt of my own. The Avi Arid "fist punch" shirt. Very cool.
Plus a couple of action figures to put on the mantle in my office.
We headed out towards the theatre in our Iron Man shirts to pick up our tickets and the first guy we walked by stopped us to ask how the movie was. The entire afternoon we were getting lots of attention; honks, "thumbs up" signs and people hollering "Hey, Iron Man. Cool!!"
Once at the theater, we asked some guys to take our photo in front of the movie poster.
We worked our way back to the hotel and went up to the Club Room for drinks and snacks. The Sheraton Club is a little bit "uppity" and then we rolled in with our Iron Man shirts on. Hah!
Back to the theater so we could get a good seat. WOW! The Cinerama is a one screen super theater. And the one screen is massive! We found a seat down below but,looking around, we noticed the balcony. What could be better then a balcony?!?
I headed up to check it out and then hollered to Cori to come on up. We found seats dead center in with a whole mob of "fan boys". There were even guys reading comics while we waited. Those geeks! ;-)
I knew it was going to be a fun night when the crowd went nuts for the "Bat Man The Dark Knight" trailer. I mean really nuts...for a trailer.
By the time the movie started, the theater was completely FULL!
People cheered when the first scene opened showing a glass of Scotch on the rocks that pans up to reveal Tony Stark.
People cheered when each version of the armor was first shown.
Hell, people cheered when someone got up to get popcorn!
At the end of the film, no one moved...everyone sat through the credits and you could tell that something was coming up. A guy behind us hollered "shsssh. and then the final scene kicked in.
Tony Stark + Nick Fury! WOW!
the whole theater erupted!
The crowd poured out of the theater and we headed to the Icon Grill for Mac & Cheese. MMMmmm. Good stuff!
Anyway, the entire night was such a blast! The movie was amazing and we blended in with all the other geeks. Cori now knows everything there is to know about Tony/Iron Man and I'm in fan-boy heaven!
A perfect weekend with my own Pepper Potts!!
