Fanboy Fail Fridays! The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Movie Premiere! Getting Dissed By Both Emma Watson and Ezra Miller! The Worst Premiere Of 2012! Doh!
I have been waiting for The Perks Of Being a Wallflower for so long! It’s on my list of must see films, so of course I was excited when i saw that the premiere was going to be here in Los Angeles! Emma Watson was even on the list to be here! How could it go wrong?
Well… Let me tell you… It can go wrong… Very wrong…
3:24 p.m. – I just arrived and there’s about 50 sun baked people in a row. Billy Beer and CB saved me a spot so I was near the front, but apparently it wasn’t going to matter much. Security has said there was going to be a raffle and they were going to pick people to be in the barricades… Sigh…
3:43 p.m. – You know, I have to tell you, I haven’t really been screwed over by security much, but I have a bad feeling about today…
4:09 p.m. – Did i mention it’s hot… Damn hot!
4:11 p.m. – It’s a simple set up… Nothing too exciting…
4:23 p.m. – Scotty and The Other Mike just arrived… Scotty is so excited….
4:49 p.m. – There’s a guy with two giant signs that say, Emma will you be my first date. Lord…
5:11 p.m. – Oh and there’s security. This is SEM Security and they are being dicks to the fans as usual. This is the first time I’ve been singled out though. They are avoiding anyone with a penis and handing out wristbands willy nilly to people waiting. Of course everyone BEHIND us. Nice… Erica only has her Perks of Being a Wallflower book, and she asked about the wristbands. The security guy looked at her and said, “Yeah, but you’re not getting one!” Ummm wow… Like Erica is a troublemaker. And yet here’s the kicker they gave out wristbands to some of the older dealers!!! Like what the hell. And they have like 18 x 20 photos! Seriously… What the fuck man!
5:22 p.m. – Now we are led into the alternate fan pen. It’s the “normal” pen for this setup but since they have now brought 50 people onto the fan pits on the carpet who the hell knows…
5:28 p.m. – There’s an airplane pulling a large sign that says, Logan Lerman We all Love and cheer you.
5:37 p.m. – I’m a little pissed off… But you know… I have such a bad feeling about all of this.
5:48 p.m. – Some people have arrived and are coming down the carpet. The star of the movie Logan Lehman is not going to be here… Grrrrr…
6:01 p.m. – Oh, there’s Boo Boo Stewart. People are calling him over just to call someone over and break the cherry on this premiere sort of speak.
See, the security has blocked the entire second set of doors so we’re trying to figure out how people would even get over here.
6:05 p.m. – Boo Boo Stewart is coming over! YAY! Insert sarcasm here…
Really… I’m not being a dick, It’s cool of him to come over but really… I’m in a piss poor mood and in no mood to care about Boo Boo Stewart.
6:09 p.m. – there’s Ezra Miller. he’s posing for people on the carpet…
Grumble. We are trying to get him over to us. It’s not looking good…
6:12 p.m. – There’s Johnny Simmons… I need him on a magazine and of course the Wallflower poster.
6:13 p.m. – Erica and I are calling him and calling him and calling him…
6:17 p.m. – Finally Johnny Simmons comes over!
He’s very nice and signs for pretty much everyone. I get him on my magazine and mini poster.
6:21 p.m. – Emma Watson is over by us now. We are doing everything we can to get her over. Chanting, yelling, screaming, pretty much everything we can do. Do we get a wave? Nope. Does she look over… For a second. And then, we get her back and she walks right on in. Damn. That’s pretty nasty.
6:25 p.m – We are calling and calling for Ezra Miller.
He turns and waves and then walks into the theatre. Nice. A double diss.
And that’s it. What fucking bullshit right! I can’t think of a worse premiere this year. Emma Watson was so nasty. I get you have more money than God for being in Harry Potter but damn. You know, just because I’m a dude, doesn’t mean I can’t be a fan.
Poor Billy Beer got here at 8:00 in the morning and got crap shafted. Seriously, that’s such bullshit. At least give the people who were here early the option of going in. You can say, only bring one item or something. Security at SEM is really getting out of control. Especially trying to jerk people around who are not a problem.
It really pisses me off…
Fanboy Frakkin’ Fail!
Until next time kids…
So, did Emma Watson take lessons from Natalie Portman on how to treat her fans?
sadly, it seems that way! Sigh…
I have a title for the sequel: “The Perks of Being a Fan of this
Movie…NONE!”
Sorry guys 🙁
Mike I hope this isn’t going to be the norm for a premiere. Maybe you can thank the dealers for this raffle deal. The studio maybe wanted the “real” fans to be in the good barricade and were doing it this way to weed out the dealers. It certainly wasn’t fair that team Mike, especially to Erica who I know is a huge Potter fan. BUT face it, like myself our faces are just to well known to SEM. We are the dedicated fans but to SEM we are no better than the dealers. Also the studio could have instructed Emma to only deal with the fan pit. Brian, there is a HUGE differance between Emma and Natalie. Natalie 100% won’t sign autographs. At least if you can get to Emma and without the papps on her back she’ll do it.
Again sorry for the bad premiere Mike. You know they all can’t be good.
I’m sure you’ll do better at the next one.
John, Natalie will occasionally sign autographs. I saw a video of her racking at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010, and she will sign occasionally at talk show appearances. I just think because of the dealers in L.A. and NY she won’t sign at the premieres.
But you’d think she’d be more friendly and sign more often. Especially since audiences go out and pay her salaries with “Black Swan” and “Thor” making a lot of money..
Somehow this doesn’t surprise at all. Emma is a good actress but I’m always so annoyed if I see her in interviews. She really seems to love herself very much.
What about Nina Dobrev? Did you not see her?
So you’re saying that Emma Watson is nasty just because she wasn’t able to sign you an autograph or wave at you while you are in the crowd of probably more than a hundred people including screaming fans with banners, paparazzi and photographers with their flashing cameras, showbiz news respondents, etc? I can understand the frustration, honestly, but I think that it is a very narrow-minded notion to think, conclude and judge other people as nasty and rude just because you didn’t get what you want. #personalopinion
I met Ezra Miller today in Chicago and he was very sweet. Don’t assume he “dissed” you. You don’t know why he didn’t stop. He was very nice to me and my nephew who is a huge fan of his.
