Jeez people, it's just a Pirates movie. It will be playing all summer. Why go to C IV, when you're doing something you can do at home?


Really....you can attend a premiere for one of the summer's hottest movies at the historic Disney theater in downtown Hollywood anywhere in the USA? You can have cannonballs going off in the theater and a live organist in Pirate gear and a bunch of street performers anywhere in the USA? You can have the possibilty of one the stars of the film dropping by for the premiere anywhere in the USA? I don't think so.


Plus the fact that the theater is called "El Capitan" which translates into The Captain, where can you watch a movie about CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow in a place called "The Captain"?

Watching POTC at the El Capitan is not just like watching a movie at your local theater, it's an EXPERIENCE. Here's just a few of the many pics I took when I saw "POTC: DMC" at the El Cap to wet your appetite:


Street performers outside while you wait in line:




Pirate-themed employees and snack bar (w/collector popcorn tubs):




Cannons ready to be fired in the balcony:




The "El Capitan" playing the pipe organ before the film starts, along with the screen transformed into a pirate map, which "changes" when the film begins wink :




The main prop and costume area downstairs (there are also other movie items scattered throughout the theater and lobby as well):



Jack Sparrow (from Disneyland):




And who knows, as mentioned before, maybe a celebrity might show up:



(thanks to Britt Dietz for that last one wink )

You could only get the tickets if you had your name on a list? I just tried calling them andy they said they are only selling tickets for the whole marathon at $100 a pop. He also said they will be selling tickets online soon.

That doesn't sound right, although I see them giving preference to people who called in early and got on the list. He did say that the other movies would be sold individually, although I heard nothing about having to pay for the whole marathon. I got my tickets for $24 a pop, just for the midnight showing of at world's end

Well I called them back and they said that they are going to be selling them on Friday and that I should call early in the morning. If I am not able to get a ticket would anybody be will to buy one for me? I would be eternally grateful and you would be getting your $25 dollars back. happy

I got my tickets. I wanted to go to the midnight showing but because I will be suffering from jet lag and have a photoshoot the next morning I'm waiting and going to the 8pm showing the next night.

Is anyone dressing up?

Yeah, I was thinking that too. But I figured that of all the evenings of the con, this would be the best night to go - with Friday night being the Opening Ceremonies, Saturday night is a no-brainer, and Sunday with the Master Replicas party, and Monday's no good, cux I have to pack to leave Tuesday morning.

I figure if I prep and iron my costume on Wednesday for the RL photo shoot Friday morning, I should be good...a bit tired, but good. wink
