Pirates: On Stranger Tides, Black Carpet

We hit the Black Carpet for the world premiere of Pirates: On Stranger Tides a couple weeks ago.

Before the carpet started we went Celeb hunting with a good friend of ours who is well trained in the sport. : )

We found Jerry Bruckheimer and someone we didn't really know, but looked like one of the producers or directors.

After that we met Adam Sandler! He couldn't have been nicer but was with his family and didn't really want to be doing photos. So this is all I got. But our friend pushed a bit and got an OK photo with him. It was fun to meet him, and we saw him around the park more, on all the kiddy rides with his family. : )

They were great quality too!

SO many celebs went by, and a lot went by pretty fast. Some we couldn't get good photos of, or at all, and I didn't want to post too many. So here are a few.

Our epic shot of the night!!

We snuck out on to the Black Carpet (while a couple stars were still on the carpet a little further down) and asked some guy to take this photo for us!! WE LOVE IT!! Could not have been better! : )

It was such a fun night, and we are so happy we could see another Pirates "red carpet" at Disneyland. They are a lot of fun!! : )

Next showing: 12:01am

It keeps striking us as funny, that two people who rarely go to the movies went last night (or early this morning rather) to see Angels&Demons at 12:01am! Brody read the book awhile back and loved it, and we both started listening to it again on our iPods this week. He also read 'Di Vinci Code', and happened to be reading it while we were in Paris/London (it was really neat for him to actually be at the places the book talked about), I think...the year before the movie came out?...and again I listened to it on my iPod =)

It always seems to make the movie better/more interesting if I have read the book (these two at lest) before hand, because the books cover SO much that the movie just can't--so having read the book before hand you understand and catch more in the movie you might have missed otherwise. It's really fun to us. =) We liked the movie, and thought they did a pretty good job taking it from book to movie (but we aren't picky). It sort of had the same feel as Di Vinci Code---just a completely different story line. I know it's not really fair to compare the two movies, but I think I enjoyed Di Vinci Code more (less violent...I had to look away several times last night).

Brody hunting for a seat...

...and this I'm sure is one of several reasons we shouldn't do movies too much, we really can't just sit still, and ended up throwing popcorn and seeing if we could make it into each others mouths (as shown below--I love this photo!!) =)

We had a blast!! I don't think we will do too many midnight movies, but we weren't as tired as I thought we would be---I don't think it hit us until we were about home, at sometime after 3am! It was a good movie! If you are planning on seeing it, I don't think you will be disappointed (but again we aren't picky...and the books are always better anyway, they just can't get it all in)! =)
