This Means War Movie Premiere! Reese Witherspoon Awesomeness! Chris Pine! and a Diss From Tom Hardy! Doh! Autographs! Photos and More!
There are Fanboying days I half dread and am half excited for. Today is one of those days. It’s the premiere of the new Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy action fest This Means War. Now, I love me some Reese… She’s one of the celebs that I will always have things for. I could meet her a hundred times, and still have things for her. It’s just the truth… Kind of like how I am with Sandra Bullock, or Julia Roberts, or… Well… Marky Mark…
Anyway, I’m heading out armed with posters, magazines and more… I’m hoping that everyone crosses on over, but I know Chris Pine isn’t really nice, but I’m thinking that at least Tom Hardy will do it and Reese is really nice at premiere’s as well…
4:14 p.m. – I just arrived and scored free parking to boot! yay! CB held spots yet again, which I appreciate. I’m hyper tired today, but I’m hoping being out and about will get me peppy…
4:34 p.m. – I’m not peppy…. Nope, instead I’m going to be crabby. I can feel it.
4:42 p.m. – The carpet is really small for this movie… I thought it would be bigger actually. Huh…
4:54 p.m. – CB is spouting some Paul Walker crap… Why God why…
5:08 p.m. – For Reese I brought my Water For Elephants mini poster. I already have Rob Pattinson and Christoph Waltz on it, so she would finish it. I also have my Fear mini poster that has Marky Mark Wahlberg on it. Plus, the mini poster for This Means War as well. For Chris I have a couple magazines and I’m debating about starting a new Star Trek mini poster. Sigh… Only me. For Tom Hardy I have a couple Warrior and Dark Knight Rises mini posters.
5:11 p.m. – Honestly, I would be happy with a couple Tom Hardy’s and Reese… I do love me some Reese Witherspoon…
5:34 p.m. – It is such a beautiful day! Scotty kept telling me it was going to rain, and I’m happy to report he’s wrong! LOL…
5:46 p.m. – I think every collector in the area is here… It’s already about two people deep and man, I fear it’s going to be insane…
6:09 p.m. – Time is getting closer! Yay! the press are in their pens…
6:22 p.m. – There’s a guy riding his bike in the middle of the street. Dude, he’s so going to get hit… Sigh…
6:36 p.m. – Well, the carpet has started but no one has arrived yet. Gone are the times when stars show up early to greet the fans. It’s kind of sad really. People keep showing up later and later…
6:42 p.m. – Still.. no one… Doh!
6:54 p.m. – Oh, there’s the chick from “V” Laura vandervoort. Everyone is going crazy and yelling for her. I’m like really? What’s the big deal? lol…
6:55 p.m. – She is looking over but her people are telling her that she can’t come over… But I guess she’s like screw them, because she is coming on over…
6:57 p.m. – Laura is crossing and signing for people.
I have never seen so many photos of Laura Vandervoort in all my life. LOL… They are just pouring from the woodwork… Even she looks shocked.
7:03 p.m. – Still waiting… Man, it’s a half hour into the carpet and not one of the three stars are even here…
7:05 p.m. – Oh, there’s an arrival.. It’s… Tom Hardy…
Everyone freaks out and yells for him. Dude, he’s not even turning around… We start to chant Tom… Tom… Tom… Nothing…
7:06 p.m. – Finally he turns around and looks at us and then just turns back around and heads onto the carpet. What! I’m so bummed! I love me some Tom Hardy… I hope he’s not turning into an asshole… Before Batman comes out? Really?
7:08 p.m. – Tom is on the carpet and people keep yelling for him… But, it’s too late he’s on the carpet and doesn’t even look our way.
7:18 p.m. – Another drop… Oh, it’s Chris Pine. He’s heading over to us…
I kind of figured that Chris would come over, but let’s see how he is at signing…
7:19 p.m. – Chris is starting at the end and is signing away. He’s doing the “I’m signing for every 5 people” thing. Sigh… He’s not really even looking at people, and is whipping down the line.
Erica and I have our posters out and Chris skips Erica (I guess she wasn’t in the every five people countdown), and is about to sign my This Means War mini poster and I’m like Chris, can you sign it in silver. He ignores me and signs the poster with a black sharpie in the blackest section of the poster. Really dude? You can’t even see it. Comedy…
7:21 p.m. – Chris goes down probably another 20 people and then heads back… sigh…
7:22 p.m. – Oh crap, there’s Reese Witherspoon! I didn’t even see her drop, but she’s crossing the street!
Now, I have heard some bad stories about Reese but I’ve always had awesome luck with her. In fact she has been super nice to me.
7:23 p.m. – Reese is starting at the end and is signing pretty much one per person…
Well, she’s trying to do one per person, lol… She’s taking her time and not flying through the line like a lot of people do…
7:24 p.m. – It’s funny how long a minute can feel when you wait for Reese Witherspoon to come down a line, lol… Reese is coming closer to us now…
Reese signs Erica’s This Means War mini poster and then I ask her to sign my Water For Elephants poster. I figured since Chris messed it up, and Tom didn’t come over, I would rather have Reese finish my other poster. Reese is so adorable and signs the Water For Elephants poster in a great spot.
I tried to get a second but she is really trying to be selective and do one per person…
7:25 p.m. – I ran down a bit farther and saw an opening and snuck in…
Reese came down and I have my Fear mini poster out. I got Reese to finish that poster as well…
Reese Witherspoon continues to sign and sign she honestly pretty much hits everyone down the line… and is by far the best signer of the night. She is so adorable!
Overall, I was slightly disappointed in Tom Hardy, there is no reason to diss the waiting fans. And Chris Pine, well, I know he’s become a jerk since he was slaughtered by the dealers in the time since Star Trek came out. But… Any time you can get two posters finished by Reese Witherspoon… That’s a pretty damn good day!
Until next time kids… Oh, and special thanks to Awesome Anushika for the pics of Reese! Anushika gets the best photos!
Hey, this is great. Reese is fabulous. I worked on one of her BLOND movies, and she brought in the best food ever for all of us! God bless her and her family. But don’t call Chris Pine a jerk; he just finished signing all those autographs for you guys. And what’s with Tom Hardy and Chris Pine on the set of this movie? I heard that they hate each other.
I think Chris just doesn’t like the dealers, I know he used to personalize everything to try and cut down on it.
I’ve read he’s a pretty shy guy too. I got him by mail Via Venue when he was filming Unstoppable. I was thrilled. I would love a pic with the guy. Maybe one day!
Dunno if you have image embedding on, but taking a stab at it.
Guess not on that image. Oh well!
I actually got a picture with Chris when he was doing a play in LA and he was super nice. I know it was awhile ago, but, still. I was thrilled with our encounter. 🙂
