The ridiculous line was 300 people deep on Thursday, and has probably grown more today. At best the Twilight movies are vampire soap-opera flicks with bad CGI. Even Twilight fans might find this extra-early line-up amusing.
By the time the film premieres, hundreds of shower-less Twi-hards will have sacrificed their time and hygiene for a mediocre movie at best. Oh, and they might (I stress the word might) get a glimpse of the stars. I’ll admit, Robert Pattinson is a talented actor and will probably have a solid career after these Twilight movies, so there’s that. One of the ladies in line is 7 months pregnant, a male fan in his 30s said he didn’t mind that people thought he was crazy, and a man from New Zealand has been there 7 days. Now that’s dedication for you!
I suppose I could relate a very tiny bit because I’ve waited a few hours in line to watch a film or to catch a glimpse of a celebrity, but I’d never dedicate days to doing so. This is a melancholy moment for cinema indeed.
