HIISSSSSSSSSSS

We rushed into boston. One of us from new york city, the other two fresh from their engagement trip camping around new york. As the former finished their cruising to meet me by a commuter rail stop they were only slightly excited about their life's new step. "Are you ready for SoaP?" "More than you fucking know!" 3 hours later we roll into the fenway theater with 4 bottles of Andre ready for the snakes on a plane premiere showing. The whole time up to this we were thinking that the movie would draw a small crowd, perhaps one other snakelover thirteen empty rows away. However when we showed up for his movie a half hour before show time we found ourselves struggling to find seats. I was unfortunate enough to have an extra ticket, and I thought I could sell it to people trying to find seats. It was sold out so much ahead of time that everyone looking like an SoaP fan had already had purchased their seats on the internet. Once we got in it was quickly clear that this would be the best movie experience all of us would ever have. People were showing up to the theater in costume. More than a few people were drunk. Unfortunately, the security thought we were going to be the next to join their ranks (we were), so we weren't able to cork our beverages until the lights dimmed and the security left, but the movie was still entertaining. People all over the theater were starting chants and cheers. There were some who started hissing randomly which quickly spread across theater. Whenever any random trailer had a stupid moment, small fits of hissing would breakout across the theater. Later, when the champagne was flowing, hissing would break out whenever a significant plot point occured. Hissing soon became a reaction of the crowd, underscoring the highs and lows of the movie and occasionally followed by an ovation. Dropping of bottles also recieved their own rounds of ovation, as well as any time that samuel L got pissed. The movie itself was a horrible movie that could have wound up on a upn affiliate next saturday afternoon with no fanfare what-so-ever. BUT, given all the givens it might wind up nominated for something come award season.
