Who's up for a San Jose Fan Force meeting at one of the opening day showings of Pirates 2?

The San Jose Century theaters currently aren't showing a midnight Thursday show. Mountain View has one though if that's desireable. Or there's showtimes on Friday July 7th at 12:30p, 3:50p, 7:10p, and 10:30p at the Century 22 in San Jose. Mountain View has the same showtimes.

I think the 7:10p Friday Century 22 showing is probably best for a movie meet-up unless Mountain View is closer for folks. We could grab takeout from Flames (or bring our own dinner) I bet and have a San Jose Fan Force meeting in line again. Only this time I'll bring a blanket so we can plop down on the ground and really talk. And cookies again.

Let's have a theme this time, everyone bring something to show their favorite aspect of Star Wars fandom. If you like gaming best bring something relating to that (your favorite computer game or the latest rule book for rpg-ing or whatever) or if you're primarily a costumer bring a photo of a costume (or knock all our socks off by showing up in costume), action figure collectors bring one to show off, fanfic addicts bring the title of your favorite... etc.

We'll talk about how to make the group official. We still need the three meetings since there was only the two of us last time. I'll PM the RSA tomorrow night after I see if anyone has a different preference for the showtime or theater.

I can't do it that late on the 7th, but you all have fun. I have every intention of seeing it that afternoon.

Can you do 3:50? 'Cause I'm flexible but 3:50 is the earliest my hubby could make it. And I think I'd get in trouble if I went without him.

We (me and Mrs. Sid) might be able to hook up to see the film that weekend, our favorite theater seems to currently be Camera 12 downtown, but we could also check out the Winchester Centuries if it's playing there as well. Heck, got pirate costumes but with the hot weather, no way are we putting all that gear on... maybe.

Hmmm. On the other hand, I'm a big a show off as there ever was...

Naw, heat.

Showing off / heat / showing off / heat....

*blinks*

Naw, don't think I'll do costume, but do want to see that movie. Keep us posted if you hit a target date/time.

Will do. And I don't care how hot it is (it's air conditioned in the theater after all) I'm wearin' my uber-cool "Basil Rathbone in the Tyrone Power Zorro" Pirate boots! But I didn't get the Captain Jack hat at Disneyland this spring so I can't wear that. sad I would have, but apparently my head is bigger than Captain Jack's (and that's sayin' somethin' ain't it? laugh ) so it perched atop my head and looked too foolish for words.

3:50 I could definitely do! Very excellent.

Bah, didn't stop most the people at the park this past weekend, LOL, even in the 90+ heat and humidity we saw tons of Micky ears with the pirate bandana, bandana with dreds, and the hat with dreds. Not to mention some of the full up costumed ones hanging outside the park as well.

Not one eyepatch though, guess they all figured out the hook early on...

Oh, I found a midnight showing. The Plaza 4 on Winchester, if anyone's interested in that, I'd be willing to do that too. grin

Midnight I'm doing as a date with Hubby so I think I'll have to miss that one. And unfortunately, I wasn't thinking when I asked about the 3:50 showing. doh! I can't do that one because I have to pick up the child from daycare before the movie would finish. I don't have anyone I can ask to do that for me but I do have someone I can leave her with for the 7:10 showing. I don't know how I can keep forgetting about the issues relating to her since it's not like I haven't had years to get used to it.

So, anyway, I have to do 7:10pm on Friday evening. If people would rather do 3:50pm post in here and I'll ask the RSA to post a link to this thread. I think for the meeting to be official it has to have a time and date in the announcement (which at this point it might be too late to make anyway) so I'll wait until this evening to see if anyone sees this and prefers 3:50pm and then PM the RSA with that or the 7:10pm showing that we had earlier, depending. And I'm sorry for both the brain fade and the not getting back over here to check in sooner. Real life bites sometimes.

OK, I haven't heard from anyone and it's much too late I think to have the RSAs announce this as a meeting. So rather than trying to have an "official" meeting, lets just meet up in line tomorrow at the Century 22. Those of us going to the 7:10 showing will be in line and the folks coming out of 3:50 can find us and we'll have at least a half hour to chat before they'll let the 7:10 people into the theater anyway. We can talk and see if we really want to try harder on the official meeting stuff or not.

I will be the red-head in black pirate boots that go up past my knees. Unless I decide to wear the pair that don't. Either way I'll be the red-head in black pirate boots. I'm not sure if I can come up with much else. Maybe a bandana and some trinkets in my hair. I'll be with a 6'2" guy who's growing out a buzz cut in his brown hair.

Our plans are kind of fluid for that night, if we go there, we'll look for you. I'll be wearing one of the ride T-Shirts, I've got about seven of them, so I'm not sure which one yet.

Hmm... I'm probably gonna just hit the midnight showing this time around. I've never done one before. I'm fairly excited about it.

Did you enjoy it Lilith? We had fun. There were a couple of really really good Captain Jack costumes at the MV theater.

So I'll see whoever manages to catch us there then, eh? I'll bring cookies. Just thought I'd mention that in case that was enough to tip the tide.

Was a matter of timing, we got to see it at the Oakridge Mall, fun film.

And stay through the ENTIRE credits if you have not seen it yet. Remember the monkey at the end of the first one? You'd have wondered what he was doing alive (?) if you had not seen that little bit, I expect there might be a bit more to the tag end on this film as well. Can't be sure, but I wonder...

Little nervous about the movie when I found out that it and another sequel were filmed at the same time. Remember what happened to Back to the Future 2?
worried tired cry

Still, what do I know. I'm just a cranky movie watcher & proud reader of MrCranky.com cool
