I promised to write about 5+ pages of response/rant/lament on the subject of the WORLD PREMIERE, and I went through that process. It was easier than I thought. But after stewing over it, I thought I'll keep it brief.
Seriously, this shit was discombobulated as all hell. I rolled up at 8:20 and they hadn't even introduced the first film. I feel bad for all the people that were roasting in there wanting a ski movie; you don't have to be super punctual, but this was transcending the ridiculous. A lot of people could bank on the super cool look-at-us-highschool-circle scene in the bar, but fuck that: this is a bloody ski movie premiere.
Anyway, the heat is one thing, but the K2 emcee guy was another. He exacerbated all the negatives, and diminished most of the positives. Seriously, what the fuck was that? Way to ruin the atmosphere with that incessant dumbass act. I don't give hoot who you are or which particle-board, Chinese-labored shit board company you work for, but you, single handed, made that one intolerable premiere.
This may have been the world premiere, but it felt far from. No intimacy, loads of confusion, and a whole lot of uninspired blathering on the stage. The movies were alright, though.
