brokeback mountain nyc premiere

now that's more like it. :)

arrived at the theater to find camillafarfalla holding our spots at the front of the railing a few feet from the teeny weeny red carpet press line. things were immediately looking up! our enthusiasm, however, was promptly squashed when the press photographers were corralled into the space between us and the red carpet. no worries, we'll just look over you guys. oh, you all brought step ladders? wow, that's quite the wall of winter coated backs you've formed. swell. =/

at this point camilla ventured off to work her magic and inquire about tickets. i stayed put in the hopes that... well, it had to be better than king kong, it just had to be. and sure enough it was.

a few pictures - but keep in mind they're around, through, & over a wall of photographers, so... yeah. i got what i could. (it also took me a while before i realized that i could hold my camera way up high above my head and snap a photo - still getting used to this digital world :p)

( yay )

oh! and camilla's mojo worked wonders yet again so we scurried in to take our seats just seconds before the film started. of course, moments after sitting down i realized just what i was in for, again, and oh my heart what was i thinking? second viewing in two days. oi. but it was wonderful. and beautiful. ♥ my only dilemma now is whether or not i can do it a third time this weekend. i really, really want to give this movie my money and help its opening box office, but owwie. *clutches aching heart* we'll see.
