Big Love Season 5 Premiere Report! With Bill Paxton, Chloe Sevigny, Ginnifer Goodwin and more!
I have really just started to get into Big Love. I know I know a little late to the party, however I love watching full seasons of shows on DVD. That’s the only way I could watch Alias, now one of my favorite series of all time. Anyway, tonight is the season premiere party for Season 5, the final season. I have a couple cast posters and am heading down to get a good spot. I really like Big Love however Bill Paxton drives me nuts. I like him in the show, but all I can hear every time he opens his mouth is “game over man… Game over!”
4:21 p.m. – I just arrived and there are a couple people here already. No barricade dammit! But there are a lot of trucks! Sigh….
4:34 p.m. – We’re trying to get the security to put up a barricade but no one seems to know what’s going on… ugh…
5:09 p.m. – Still waiting on that barricade. The trucks are starting to move. Sooooo this doesn’t look good. And more people are arriving. Sigh…
5:15 p.m. – The press are starting to line up on the side. So… we still have no idea what’s going on. Ugh…
5:25 p.m. – A couple undesirable people just arrived… great… This could be a cluster of a day.
5:45 p.m. – Now we are forming our own makeshift line. A few of us that got here early are just trying to make sure we can secure our spots. I hate it when there isn’t anything set up, then it’s like madness fighting with people who arrive at the last second.
5:54 p.m. – The press are still lined up so who knows when this thing is going to start…
6:06 p.m. – Ohhhh here’s security… Great… Sigh…
6:11 p.m. – Security told us to play nice. They are going to set something up for us but for right now we have to line up against the wall. Ugh…
6:17 p.m. – We are getting a red rope barricade set up. Ugh… How many times can I type ugh in one report?
6:21 p.m. – We are ready for the signal to fight for a spot… This could be disaster…
6:22 p.m. – Shit, it’s go time!
6:23 p.m. – We all just fought for our spots… I almost got cut off, but thankfully everyone around me is cool. Sigh… at least we have a rope right? Sigh…
6:39 p.m. – The press still hasn’t gone in… I wonder when this thing is going to start? Dammit!
6:40 p.m. – My brown carrying bag just broke… Sigh… See I didn’t write ugh there! Lol…
6:45 p.m. – The press just went in… Well, that’s good at least…
6:51 p.m. – There is hardly any light here. This is going to make it hard to catch some of the smaller people. I love getting everyone that’s in a show. The recurring characters and the smaller parts are just as much a part of the show as the leads, in my not so humble opinion.
7:01 p.m. – There are some people arriving, mainly just guests at this point.
7:10 p.m. – A couple cars, no one yet…
7:16 p.m. – Oh, the first major drop it seems… Wait its Chloë Sevigny… I love her! Everyone calls out and she comes right on over. She starts at the end of the barricade and continues down.

7:17 p.m. – Chloë Sevigny is about to make her way down to me. She signs my first poster and then I asked her to sign the other poster as well. She says sure and does that one as well.
7:18 p.m. – I also told Chloë Sevigny that I loved her in Last Days of Disco. She said thank you, and continued down the line. Well, it wasn’t the moment we all dream of but it was cool nonetheless.

7:20 p.m. – Grace Zabriskie just arrived. She was in Twin Peaks and a number of other series. Everyone called for her but she waved and said she had to go in.
7:22 p.m. – Tina Majorino from Veronica Mars just got here. She is so nice. She comes over and signs for everyone. I got her on my poster and asked her if she heard anything about the Veronica Mars movie. Sigh… She said she hasn’t heard anything. Bummer… I really want the Veronica Mars movie to happen.

7:28 p.m. – There’s Matt Ross. He was in Last Days of Disco with Chloe ironically, and played Harry Dean Stanton’s Son in the show. He’s very cool, but kinda taken aback that anyone would want him to sign I think. LOL… He’s a very cool guy though.

7:31 p.m. – Did I mention how cold it is? Damn… It’s a frigid arctic tundra! Ugh…
7:34 p.m. – Oh a car… It’s… It’s Bill Paxton! “Game over man!” Sorry had to be done. Anyway, everyone yells for him. I mean it’s like Bill Paxton is Angelina Jolie! All the collector’s go nuts over him. He starts at the end and signs and signs…
7:36 p.m. – Bill Paxton is trying to at least get one thing signed per person, and his handler is trying to limit the dealers from throwing things over people heads… but alas that really isn’t working…

7:39 p.m. – Oh Crap! It’s Jeanne Tripplehorn! No one even sees her except me. I yell for her, but with all the Bill Paxton ruckus no one even notices her… ugh… She’s the hardest one to get in this cast… Dammit!
7:40 p.m. – Bill Paxton Finally gets to my end and the security guard stands right in front of me. I mean hello! I asked Bill to sign my poster and he leans over and gets it, so that’s good. Man oh man… This is crazy!

7:43 p.m. – Well, with Bill Paxton here and everyone missing Jeanne Tripplehorn, the only major cast member left is Ginnifer Goodwin. She… Oh… Wait…
7:45 p.m. – Yep, Ginnifer Goodwin just pulled up. She’s coming on over as everyone yells for her. She is so sweet.
7:47 p.m. – Ginnifer Goodwin signs for the entire line, She gets to me and one of the collector’s next to me doesn’t have anything for her so he gets my poster signed for me. I got my cast poster signed as well.

7:51 p.m. – Grace Zabriskie is walking out of the party and coming over to sign for everyone. LOL… That’s very nice of her. She signs my cast poster and then signs a bunch of DVD’s for the guy next to me. I loved her in Twin Peaks, and she’s great as Bill Paxton’s mom in the show.

8:03 p.m. – Everyone is waiting for Tom Hanks who is one of the producers on the show. However, all the press people are coming out, so it looks like it’s done. Ah well… My Green Mile mini poster is meant to be unsigned. Lol…
8:21 p.m. – So, that seems to be that. I’m going to hang around for a second to see if anything else happens. It’s so cold and the wind so strong I don’t see myself hanging out too much longer.
9:45 p.m. – Yep, still here… I just need Jeanne Tripplehorn! It’s killing me. And so is this wind… Just a few more minutes…
10:22 p.m. – The party is going on, but I think the cars are going in the parking garage underneath… I’m finally calling it and going home. I’m frigid, tired, and can’t deal anymore. Still, I got most of the cast so I consider this a successful night. It’s always fun to go to a premiere of a show you like, and not just get one person like at a movie premiere. TV shows are a tad different cause, well at least for me. TV has more of an impact. Did I mention the cold has frozen the left side of my brain? Lol…

Good night for you Mike! Just a shame about Tripplehorn.
I have many items that just need her to finish. She is a toughy!
