The End of Civilization…

Flashback Weekend, an organization that holds local horror conventions, is teaming with the historic Pickwick Theatre–a childhood haunt that sits about 300 feet from where I type this–is holding a special bash for New Moon, the sequel to the movie Twilight.  Many packages are available for this event, which features cast members from the film, but check out the top one.  The price for the package is at the bottom; note that it DOESN’T include the $7.00 movie ticket.

    Thats a bit out of the price range of most 13 year old girls, isnt it?

  • Ken, to quote Tom Servo; If I run out of vomit can I borrow some of yours?

  • Brandi

    There’s a surprising (disturbing?) number of older fans out there. Google “Twimoms”.

  • EFH

    My head hurts. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I consider paying an extra $10 for a “collectors edition” of a movie or game to be a rich indulgence. This left me literally stunned for a about ten seconds.

  • Special “Encounter” time? Why does that sound obscene?

  • Petoht

    Eh. It’s an event, sure. Seems pricey, but I can handle that.

    What I can’t wrap my mind around is that for $845, you can’t get a movie ticket. Seriously, guys? You’ve got over eight grand coming in from these special passes, you can’t eat $70? Or add $7 to the ticket price?

  • Ericb

    Well at least they don’t seem to be promoting preteen sex like they were last year.

  • Reed

    “Thats a bit out of the price range of most 13 year old girls, isnt it?”

    But not out of the price range of their parents who will do anything to supplicate their kids. It’s really no different than paying hundreds of dollars a seat for Hannah Montana tickets, and there are thousands of parents who were willing to do that.

    The lack of a movie ticket is funny, but to be fair the theater may not have been willing to block off seats for them, which would have been necessary to guarantee space in a particular showing of what is certain to be a packed movie.

  • Dr. Whiggs

    So these are the second tier characters in a third tier franchise populated entirely by fourth tier actors. And it’s $825 to meet them.

    Blugh.

  • P Stroud

    What? $20 processing fee? $845 isn’t enough to see crappy actors?

  • Ericb

    I didn’t realise that Kellan Lutz and Charlie Bewley were “superstars” considering I never heard of them before.

  • JoshGale

    I just noticed something, the vampire family’s last name Cullens is very similar to Collins, coincidence?

  • Dr. Whiggs

    And where the hell do these nobodies get off charging for autographs?

  • The price *is* obscene, yeah.

    That said… for those arguing that the celebs aren’t really much in the way of celebs… how many people would’ve been saying the same about Doug Bradley or Robert Englund?

    Not that I’d shell out eight c-notes to meet them, but to these fans, that’s the calibre of celebs they’re meeting.

    Sadly.

    At least Doug and Robert can freakin’ *act*.

  • $845 and they can’t throw in a couple of movie tickets in as part of the package? Really?

  • jason hyde

    Cripes. I balked at paying $90 to see Shatner at the Portage, and that was William freaking Shatner, a living legend who’s actually done stuff that wasn’t horrible, and that $90 included the movies. And the event got canceled because a lot of other people did the same thing. I can’t imagine anyone paying this much for something like this. If I’d asked my parents to take me to a Doctor Who convention that cost $800 and had two supporting actors, they would have just laughed in my face. And rightly so.

    I’m a bit proud to say that I don’t get this Twilight thing.
