Premiere Fever

For some reason, New York City has premiere fever. It seems almost every night there is an opportunity to attend a movie premiere and we are taking advantage.

We start with Rabbit Hole which premiered at the Paris Theater.



We got into this one and as we were standing line for popcorn, we noticed Jon Hamm in the line ahead of us! Here is the best "sneaky" cell phone picture we got:



The after-party was happening at the Plaza Hotel across the street. We tried to get in but apparently you need special after-party tickets. Oops!



Because we only had a cell phone camera at the Rabbit Hole premiere, we didn't get any good pictures of the two stars: Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart. Luckily, Aaron and Nicole were giving a talk at the Apple store in Soho the next night where we did get to snap some photos.







Also premiering at the Paris Theater was The Company Men with Ben Affleck.



They weren't giving out extra tickets to this one but we hung around in the cold to see Ben... and it looks like he saw us.

Premiere #3 was The Tourist which we did not expect to get into.

With Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp attending, we knew this one would be crazy. As luck would have it, we scored two tickets! We didn't see Johnny Depp but got some pictures of this celebrity couple.

The most recent premiere we attended was The Fighter at the SVA Theater. Actually, they called this a "screening" even though all the actors in the movie were there.

We saw Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams but even better, we got a picture of Mrs. Brady!

Christian Bale

Even though Will Call told me a couple times that they didn't have extra tickets, we hung around long enough to get two! I think they felt bad for us for standing in the cold.

Overall, we've been very lucky to get into several movies (for free) and see some celebrities!
