I know what you’re thinking, but that headline isn’t sarcasm. There is a real, demonstrable need for this product.
To illustrate this need, I need to tell a little story.
Flash back to 2007. I am visiting a friend in Providence, RI. Plans have been made to see Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, which sounds fine to me. My friend informs me that "everyone" was meeting at her place about three hours before "to get ready."
"Get…ready?" I am pretty sure I know what she’s talking about, sadly.
"Yeah! To put on our costumes."
Now, no offense to LARPers, but: no. This is not my thing. But it’s my friend’s plan, and I am her guest, so whatever — I’ll just be the normal looking guy sitting next to the fake pirates in the dark, right?
No. No, we are going to walk across Providence, in a becostumed pack, "Yar"-ing and "Argh"-ing at cars and pedestrians as we make our eye-patched way to the mall. Pictures are taken. A fake parrot is involved. This makes me unspeakably sad. The fact that the movie sucks does not help.
What I’m saying is: if you need to buy a bottle of liquor to dull the pain of a movie-watching experience (and I did, and you will if you see SATC2), at least you can be thematically appropriate.
