X-MEN:DAYS OF FUTURE PAST!!! WOAH!!! Though the latest in the X-franchise made its debut to the public yesterday, I had the honor of seeing an advance screening at the New York Global Premiere, and of course I followed up with a viewing last night. But lets talk about this.




So starting at the crack of a**, sorry...I mean dawn, I stood in line (being about the 300th person there thus far) at the Javits Center to await entry to the premiere. Now, two things to note here: you had to be one of the first 500 people to witness the redcarpet, and see the movie that night (2 weeks before the public) *groan*, and secondly you waited outside, and entry didn't start till 4pm. That is me pictured above giving you my best, "I'm here to see Michael Fassbender so we can get married, please don't f*ck with me" face. Oh, and did I mention it was 7:45 am.






So I waited, and waited, snacked, slept and then waited some more. Thank god the bestie tagged along for "moral support." (Psssh, She really just wanted to see JLaw, peep her obsession.) Above is the line outside the Javits around 12 pm.

But afterwhile time remained to be a lingering pain in my ass....and just when i thought I'd have to hurl a bolt of lightning to get the staff moving along (it was soo past 4), we were finally given two bits of good news: we got cute wristbands, aaaaand we were among the first 500. BAM!


So we've made it, we've reached the promiseland. Now normally I'd never call the Javits Center "the promiseland", but the winds decided to rebel against me, thus making it rain. Unfortunately there were no singles included in this downpour. But inside we go, and I see this.





After all of that, we were escorted off-site to see the movie that evening. I was a very, VERY happy nerd, an exhausted nerd, but happy nonetheless.


As ridiculously cheesy as it sounds, I should take a moment to acknowledge that this was something that I've always dreamed of. The X-Men have been a staple and an inspiration to me since I can remember. It was in the pages of these comics that I learned self love, and accepting the fact that I was different. So I'm ecstatic and still in an endless state of disbelief that this happened. And my thoughts on DoFP? My favorite movie in the canon thus far.



P.S. Sorry I've been away so long! I'm writing for Geek Magazine now (another dream come true, feel free to check out my work there), so my time's been spread pretty thin, but I'll make it up to you with a lifetime supply of Avengers fruit snacks and selfies. Ok, maybe just the latter.
