Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Slytherin

Guess who went to the midnight showing of Revenge of the Sith last night: this guy. I decided to go in costume... as Harry Potter. Why you ask? Well because I wanted to get in a Potter/Star Wars fight and settle once and for all who rules the geek kingdom. Originally I was going to go as Gandalf but a suggestion from Rob and a complete lack of Gandalf accessories changed my mind. It was perfect. It... it... let me just show you:

I call this one "Pensive Potter".

"One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong, can you tell me which thing is not like the others by the time I finish this song"

I swear to George Lucas, I just met these random people in a crowd and we spontaneously broke out into that song as we posed for photo-ops (for quite a crowd). I wanted pictures of them and they me. And everyone else, all of us. The whole night was ridiculous. I was making fun of people for dressing up as "Star Wars Fags" and they were like "are you Harry friggin' Potter?" to which I replied "DIE MUGGLE" and attempted to place the Imperio curse on them. Which failed, as did Expelliarmus on the light sabers.

All in all however, go see Episode III. It was amazing. Even without having seen any of the other Star Wars movies, you could see this one and like it. I can't tell you how surprised I am that they got it right. The new series has been a strike, a bunt, and now a homerun. Go check it out. And dress as a character not included in the Star Wars universe, seriously it exponentially multiplies the enjoyment.

P.S. But if you're going in your graduation robe that you have to walk across stage in tomorrow (like one very attractive Harry Scotter did), make sure you don't spill buttered popcorn on it, and you don't sit in gum. Just my advice.

    I just got your comment as I returned home from seeing Star Wars. Good timing

    It was pretty good I have to say. Some poor writing at times, but I really did enjoy it.

    Scott, That is HILARIOUS. I find myself telling people, "guess what Scott did this time?" They ask, "How do you know Scott?" and then it gets weird since I'm a huge nerd and read your blog everyday now. But the Harry Scotter thing...that takes major stones!! Thanks for sharing your adventures so that I always have something funny to tell people (thus I look funny)--win/win situation!!

    This man never ceases to amaze. My fiancee and I had the "privilege" of going to the theatre with this guy. The Star Wars experience was great, but even better with LOTS of people pointing and commenting at Harry Scotter. We were expecting a jedi beat down on the lone man with his stick, so we had an urge to keep our distance from him, good times!
    Scott, you forgot to mention your trip to the bathroom and how the staring continued even while you urinated, damn curious jedi.

  6. Zac, you need to watch what you post. I'm gonna go ahead and nip this "Staring while you urinated" thing in the bud right now. It should be noted that Zac was referring to the costume, and anyone who tries to imply that there was anything else worth staring at, or hordes of people had allegedly been caught staring at in past situations is total B.S. Alright, that's all cleared up.

    My favorite part of this story is when Scott was telling me how some people actually tried heckling him. Seriously, who could be at a midnight showing of Star Wars and have ANY ground to heckle anyone?

    Zac, when Ro gets back from her summer camp (3 months from now) we demand a Mario Kart rematch!
