Suck It, Davis, California!
Have I mentioned lately how nerdy I am? I am very nerdy (insert nerdy emoticon). And maybe a little crazy (insert crazy emoticon).
20th Century Fox’s viral marketing campaign for X-Men Origins: Wolverine has ended, and with it, the fierce battle that raged across the nation to decide which city would win a sneak preview of the film any digital pirate can watch right now . After a neck and neck race between Davis, California and Tempe, Arizona, my hometown (i.e., fifteen minutes away from my hometown) of Tempe, Arizona won the chance to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine on Monday, April 27th.
As my new favorite site, MTV Splash Page , explains, Hugh Jackman will be there with his fellow mutants, free shit will be handed out, and a general sense of awesomeness will permeate the air.
I take absolutely no credit for this miracle (though credit is welcome). But being the uber nerd I am (with a tinge of crazy, remember), I now have to wait in line overnight in front of the Tempe Marketplace Harkins Theatre for the slightest chance of getting one of the 500 tickets being dispersed tomorrow morning at 9 AM.
And you all thought being a social pariah of the lowest caliber was easy?
Go start waiting! If Ryan Reynolds is there touch him for me!
I really, really want to see this movie. I may have to either 1) bribe the husband to babysit or 2) shell out extra money for a babysitter. It has Gambit in it, so of course I must see it! Preferably before it’s a rental!
