delicataleOne of the things I can now cross off my bucket list: walking a red carpet. Because I've done that and it's very squishy.
At first, I wrote off yesterday evening as a 'we'll get to see the movie before everybody else and that's that', which is not a bad thing, considering it was free, I'm not going to complain. Everybody with tickets to the premiere were rushed inside and seated before the actors arrivals, so a few girls complained and went downstairs into the pens to catch a glimpse. My friend Louise and I just stayed upstairs because it was FREEZING and we couldn't be arsed. I didn't think I'd meet anybody from the cast anyway.
They showed the red carpet arrivals on screen so we saw it all though - which was really weird considering they were just downstairs. Chris Pine was drunk, Tom Hardy was sick, and Reese Witherspoon got there fashionably late, which means the movie started an hour after it was supposed to, bless ^^.
The movie itself? Much funnier than I thought it would be. Very little cringey moments (mostly brought on by Chelsea Handler or whatever her name is), and truly laugh out loud bits. Pine, to me, feels a bit like a one trick pony, playing once again the cocky know-it-all, but T-Hard surprised me with this performance, earnest and sweet and longing to settle down. Reese Witherspoon's character goes on to date two men at the same time and to this I say YES, because I am totally behind a female character going for it like this in a movie, without any kind of slut-shaming or anything like that but praise from her best mate, and acceptance from the two men she's dating. I think it's brilliant.
Pine's character FTR made me roll my eyes on many occasion while on screen with Reese Witherspoon, but the FTR/Tuck (Tom's character) relationship? BEST THING IN THIS MOVIE. They seriously adore each other, and are not afraid to say it - I don't think I have seen a movie before where two blokes say I love you to each other this many times. Lovely, and now I am awaiting all the fics when the movie comes out \o/.
Anyway, overall, a fun movie, a great time, my friend and I really enjoyed it, so go see it! Also, awesome soundtrack, I want it.
After the movie we found ourselves rubbing shoulders with McG (he directed the movie) in the stairs, and we came out of the theatre, wondering what to do, when we saw the cars the actors came in were all lined up along the street, so decided to stick around for a little bit, JUST IN CASE.
And, this happened.
(picture of a picture, because Louise smells and she can't find her camera cord in her mess XD. (also, see how short I am, considering he is about 5'9'' and I was wearing 4 inch heels.))
He took pictures with everyone, refusing to leave before everybody had a picture/an autograph even though he said his wife was waiting in the car (also, sick). And he is MASSIVE and BEAUTIFUL and LOVELY and, sigh.
That...that was nice. I still can't quite believe it.
