Okay, so I just watched tfios and to explain how excited I was to be able to see it, when I found out it was playing in a theater near the hotel I was staying at since I was going to be out of the continental USA, it resembled the reaction hazel had when gus started reciting the email he got from peter van houtan, so I was very excited for this. The movie was brilliant, the live feed after was hilarious yet saddening at times, but what I loved most wasn't the movie, it wasn't the cool poster, it wasn't the live feed, it was the atmosphere. I knew that only nerdfighters would be at this event because lets face it, only nerdfighters care, but I wasn't expecting this. Everyone was laughing at the unfunny jokes as much as the funny ones and there were a lot of both, and there would be giggles whenever something significant from the book came up and I was giggling with them. Granted, my mom thought I was slightly insane since she hadn't read it, but that's besides the point. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time, and that was belonging. There aren't any nerdfighters where I live and I was so happy to feel the awesomeness of nerdfighteria, so thank you everyone who worked on the movie, all 13,000 of you, thank you shaylene and ansel for being apart of this and being such great actors, thank you whoever thought of the night before our stars, and thank you john and hank... for everything, and all you nerdfighters, dftba.
Those of you who didn't get to experience this event, don't let it discourage you from seeing this wonderful movie. Go check it out.
