So last night I was lucky enough to attend the premiere of “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”. It looked to be a rip off of “The Fault in Our Stars” so I wasn’t expecting much.
Let me just tell you… It was seriously stunning. It was like something I haven’t seen before. It was hilarious but also haunting and emotional. The acting was perfect and the casting was right on.
I was entrapped in the story the entire time. Engulfing me making me laugh and cry.
Since it was a premiere there was assigned seating and press which made it very interesting.
Afterwards there was a Q and A with two of the main characters; Thomas Mann and Rj Cyler.
I had seen Thomas Mann in Project X previously and since I loved him in that movie I was very excited. I asked them a question which ended up coming out of my mouth like gibberish in which I felt embarrassed.
Then we filed down the steps to get autographs and to take pictures.
Once it was my turn I shuffled over to them and handed them my reserved seating sign… In which I said, “All I have is this piece of paper for you to sign, it’s kind of like when you go on vacation and you get a t-shirt that says ‘all I got was this t-shirt”.
Yes it was as embarrassing as it sounds. But to top it off when they finished autographing my blue paper RJ says, “So are we gonna take a picture or what?!” (enthusiastically)
In which I reply, “No I just wanted to breathe in your air”.
Yes…. That is exactly what I said….
Both of my remarks made them laugh and I am sure they have heard worse. But when your adrenaline is going and it is hot as hell in the theater and they are too what would you have said????!!!!
Anyways… I am posting a few picture of me with the guys on Flickr:
