FILM.COM: ‘TWILIGHT’ DVD RELEASE PARTY LIVE DIARY
By now, we’ve all heard countless stories about everyone’s midnight release party experiences, and even shared our own experiences. Well, now we get to see the DVD release party experience from the viewpoint of an outsider – through their DVD release party live diary. A reporter from Film.com has written a great new entry from a DVD event they attended, and the results are hilarious.
Below are some bits and pieces from the live diary entry:
10:00 p.m.: Arrive on scene at local books/movie/music chain retailer and assess the situation. There are well over 100 people in attendance, from Twi-tweens to Twi-moms. I make note of the emergency exits, just in case.10:08 p.m.: Twilight trivia game begins. First question: “Who kissed Bella on the cheek in the cafeteria?” Someone yells out “Rorschach!” Ha!
10:09 p.m.: What’s the prize for correctly answering a trivia question? Being pelted in the head with a piece of chocolate.
10:22 p.m.: First scuffle of the night between Team Edward and Team Jacob breaks out during quote game. Each team tries to scream their hero’s name louder than the other. Team Edward wins.
10:30 p.m.: Games have ended. There’s nothing to do now but wait until midnight when the DVD will officially go on sale. I peruse the store, hoping the long wait will force these kids to begin checking out other books.
10:36 p.m.: As I pass the “Travel” section, I overhear a young man ask his female companions, “What would you do if you met Edward and he thought you were ugly?” His question is met with dead silence.
10:58 p.m.: Begin to wonder how the youngest of the Twi-hards still have so much energy at this late hour. Overhear one little girl tell her friends, “I just ate a whole packet of sugar.”
11:37 p.m.: Notice teenage girl get starry-eyed when she meets a pack of roving boys who profess to be Twilight fans. I’m not buying it. They’re so just here to pick up chicks.

HAHA! I have to say – I noticed a lot of similarities between reading about this party, and my own experience with a DVD release party. I was stunned at the amount of energy all these young girls had (but trust me – I was hyped up for the DVD, too, so I had energy to spare also..), and I noticed far too many supposed Twi-guys out there – I think they just came for the girls…
What did you think of this live diary? Did you notice any similarities between this party and your own?
