Everyone's got something to say

I did something last night I've never done before. I waited in line for a movie that's not even out yet. Perplexed? Read on.

Up at the Cinemark Legacy theater in Plano, Texas, a line has been formed. A line to see a movie coming out in two weeks. I'm of course talking about the final chapter in the Star Wars saga: Revenge of the Sith. "But why would anyone do such a thing??" you may ask? Simple. To have FUN! Some people just don't get why anyone would actually camp out at a theater to get a good place in line for only a movie. This is the final chapter: the FINAL movie! It's one thing to stand in line to get a good spot in the theater to see your favorite movie, but this is the last Star Wars movie to be made. It completes the trilogy. It's a big deal. Not only is it for the movie, it's for a good cause. The line is also for charity.

But the problem is not the die-hard fans. The problem is hecklers. Yes, it is inevitable, that a bunch of Star Wars geeks lining up 2 weeks in advance and even camping out to see the movie will be made fun of. Sure, we realize that. But what you don't realize is that you are exposing your inner weakness by heckling others. It's a matter of self esteem. When you have to talk down to people to feel good about yourself, you obviously have self esteem issues. If you can't feel good about yourself without making others feel bad, then you need to re-think your people skills. Hey, you made fun of those dorks waiting in line! Good for you! You deserve a high five. Next time you think about heckling someone, think about this. Would you ever have the nerve to wait in line like these fans do? No? Then there's something we have over you. We're secure enough with who we are to go out and have some fun and hang out with friends for a good cause. Some comments are: "You're going to wait in line for two weeks straight?" As if we don't have lives. Geez, you're a smart one. Save your childish comments for your momma. We certainly don't want to hear it.
