The Watch Movie Premiere Report! With Ben Stiller! And… Getting Dissed By Vince Vaughn and My Nemesis Academy Award Nominee Jonah Hill! Autographs! Photos! Whining!
You know, there are those times when you go out and try not to expect much. Even though you say to yourself, don’t put too much stock into something… You inevitably do. Today is the world movie premiere for The Watch. I’m heading out even though the bane of my existence, AKA Jonah Hill is here. I really want Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, as I have never met either one of them and Dodgeball is one of my favorites.
So, here I am… trying my luck!
5:01 p.m. – I just arrived, Billy Beer and CB are already here and we have a pretty good spot, so you never know!
5:23 p.m. – They’ve set up the red carpet with a giant black monolith so once the “celebrities” go past that, it’s all over. Ah well… I’ve brought my Dodgeball, Meet the Parents, Mystery Men, Old School, and yes The Watch mini posters. LOL… I also have 21 Jumpstreet and Get Him To The Greek for Jonah Hill. It kills me that I have things for that man to sign but what can you do right.
5:29 p.m. – The posters they put up are even falling down. Wow… This is not the highest quality premiere in the world.
5:34 p.m. – There are not that many people here, I mean there are some but not as many as I expected.
5:39 p.m. – Billy has gotten some sun! Damn… That’s one thing, make sure you bring sunscreen at events like this!
5:54 p.m. – The sun is sort of going down. I was totally getting made fun of today for going to anything related to Jonah Hill. You see, I don’t like him. In fact… I would say he’s my celebrity nemesis. I can’t stand him.
6:01 p.m. – Man, I thought arrivals started at 6:00 but it looks like it’s 6:30 p.m. Sigh..
6:11 p.m. – Billy has made a new friend. And again my memory for names is horrendous much like Jonah Hill was in The Sitter. Anyway, I think her name is Elizabeth from Vermont. This is her first premiere and she’s very sweet.
6:23 p.m. – Oh an arrival! It’s Richard Ayoade. Everyone yells out for him and he ignores everyone and just walks on the carpet. Damn.
6:31 p.m. – Wow, no other arrivals. Damn… A nice boring premiere. LOL…
6:41 p.m. – There’s Doug Jones. He waves at everyone. Doug was the silver surfer, he was in Buffy, and a bunch of other stuff.
6:54 p.m. – People are calling out for someone… It’s Akiva Schaffer. He is the director of the film. He was also one of the writers of SNL. l
6:56 p.m. – Akiva Schaffer is hyper nice and signs for anyone who asks. I got him on my The Watch promo “limited edition” mini poster from comic con.
7:04 p.m. – Oh and speak of my nemesis… It’s Jonah Hill. He walks over to the people on the side near the theatre and takes a few photos and then walks across the street.
7:06 p.m. – Jonah… I’m sorry… Academy Award Nominee Jonah Hill, signs about six autographs for people who only have ripped up pieces of paper or randomness… Heaven forbid you have a mini poster, photo or something. If you do, he looks at you with a plastered smile, and walks past. What a douche.
I have to tell you for someone so untalented it’s amazing he’s not nicer to his “fans.” Not me of course, I am not a fan but there are people here who are genuinely fans. One girl even started crying when Jonah ignored her.
Now, I can judge all I want but if you’re a fan and the person you like disses you it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Even for a walking toadstool like Jonah Hill.
7:09 p.m. – Did I mention he ignored practically everyone? Oh, and he was in such a hurry he stood at the end of the red carpet for about 10 minutes before he went on. He’s so gross. Like a walking chia
7:11 p.m. – A man is running and has the cutest puppy! Awww he’s adorable!
7:15 p.m. – Oh, and there’s Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor. They are so sweet! They crossed and are signing and signing and signing…
I could get Christine on my Dodgeball mini poster but then I have to get Joel Davie Murray, Justin Long, Alan Tudyk, and more… So, I’m choosing to just keep it to Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn.
7:16 p.m. – Ben signs my dodgeball mini poster and also my Meet The Parents UK Quad mini poster as well.
Then I see Vince Vaughn! He arrived and then crossed the street and says, “I’ll come back.” He then walks down the line and waves at people. Shit!
Ben Stiller then signs my Mystery Men UK Quad mini poster and heads back down the line.
Ben continues to sign and sign and sign and then Vince… He crosses on the other end and even though he said, “I’ll be back” Arnold Schwarzenegger he’s not.
Sigh…
I have to tell you, I’m glad I got Ben but honestly not really worth it. Plus, some small part of me hates the fact that I gave Jonah Hill an ounce of fandom does hurt my soul. To the very heart of my being. Grumble… Well, you can’t win them all right? Let’s cross our fingers for the next outing!
Until next time kids…
Wow what a jerk….. ( Jonah Hill) that is. Making a fan cry?? That is low…. low….. Reminds me of a time when AFI ( band) came through my town one time Davey Havok ( lead singer) thought he was the king or something ( please) ignored everyone manager said please do not disturb him ( please) made a little girl cry ( that’s why I thought of Jonah) Davey just walked on by……….I was a little disappointed and I made a comment like wow he made a little girl cry and soon the AFI super fans came after me saying oh he’s always nice you don’t know him blah,blah,blah he’s having a bad day he’s always nice…. Another collector told me he’s always like that. I just do not get it…. Celebs, musicians are what fans buy or watch and when people ignore we remember that and of course everyone always says well they don’t owe you anything….. True…. However you do not have to make little girls cry or ignore people that is unclassy!
Wheres all the Vince Vaughn bashing like you bashed Jonah Hill? He pretty much dissed everyone too from what it sounds like yet you didn’t bash him nearly as much as you did Jonah. Ive actually met Jonah many times and every time hes been very nice, taking photos and signing stuff, more than just pieces of paper too. Ive had the unpleasant experience of meeting Vince Vaughn as well and he was a complete jerk! In my eyes, Vince is the one more deserving of the bashing.
This is the first time I have ever seen Vince in person. Jonah Hill on the other hand I have seen first hand diss people each and every time. In fact, I can recount at least five times off hand when he’s done so, that’s why I’m bashing him over Vince. When I’ve had the amount of bad experiences with Vince as I’ve had with Jonah I’ll make sure and note that.
Mike, you were pretty vague. Could you tell us what you *really* think about Jonah Hill?
I get you Mike…. Maybe it’s us ( lol) I have met different celebs or musicians before ( not dissing you brittany) and my collector friends always say well they were so nice when I met them! Hmmm didn’t happen to me….. Mike maybe we have bad luck or something lol.
Sucks Mike that you had a bad experience with “Oscar Nominee” Jonah Hill. It’s obvious he did “it” for the camera’s. You say this was the first time seeing him. What about the Spirit Awards this past year? Though he didn’t rack he did sign more and he did more so go down the barricade. I don’t call him a “saint” BUT certainly not the doucebag you make him out to be. Hopefuly you’ll get another shot at him. As for Vaughn now that’s a douce! The one thing I hate is when someone makes a promise to come over and lie’s about it. I’d rather have a celeb say nothing rather than break their word. That pisses me off! As usuall Stiller and Taylor are awesome. When you talk about a nice celebrity couple Stiller and Taylor have to be included in the list. Until the next time keep up the good work on MTFB!
Oh what’s up with MTFB Anusiaka? I haven’t read a post or seen any of her awesome photo’s in a while.
Vince Vaughn ugh! Dude no one will ever remember your name in a few years! I only like a couple of his movies now. Ben Stiller what an AWESOME celeb! He’s one of the top celebs and he still takes time for his fans! As for Vince saying, “I’ll be back” and didn’t. What a piece of shit in my book! I won’t buy anymore of his movies just for that reason. If you think your better than your fans, than your fans will stop buying your shit. Okay I’m done venting! 🙂
