In addition to two major movie premieres held on Hollywood Blvd., there was the traditional, ceremonial gathering of the SW lemmings..er, um,..fans, who lined up starting about two weeks before the official premiere and release dates. The whole situation necessitated the closure of about a mile of Hollywood Blvd. and forced traffic off onto various side streets and avenues. The quiet little side streets became a bit more hazardous as drivers, frustrated and delayed by the traffic crunch, went speeding down those streets seeking to avoid the crush. All this because of a bunch of people who seem, otherwise, to have no real life...

Shoot. Glad I'm not caught up in that mix. Didn't realize that's what you were meaning.
I drove down to the discount theater where half the theater was full on the 18th to see it.
Everybody goes to the big theater in the bigger town. You can see the same movie for four dollars less 30 minutes down the road.
