SO! i walked the red carpet yesterday (hehehehehe)
yeh, like dat, like dat... exactly like that!
Well, since i am leaving Los Angeles soon, what better way to cap off my whole experience than being a hollywood whore!
Well actually, I went for the premiere of that Sci Fi movie Serenity. Luis, who is like this HUGE Serenity/Firely fan, invited me to the event which was at Universal City Walk's theaters.
So yeah, we waited around and saw some celebrities (somewhat) here and there walking down the red carpet. They were from the movie mostly and one actress from Buffy. Also got to see the creator of Buffy and Angel who is also the creator of Serenity (which is from the series Firefly)
Anyways, we ourselves got to walk the red carpet because that's the only enterance to the theather.
The experience was really cool in the sense that you got to see the Hollywood world. In the sense that, man, no wonder celebrities DO live a different world than we do. I think it's really hard sometimes, being one of them. The red carpet was short for this one, so it was okay (imagine the Oscars that's what!).
It's like when you first enter the red carpet, you see all these reporters/papparazzi or whoever they are holding thick folders of pictures. I don't know what they're for. But you see the reporters on the right holding papers with pictures of the celebrities so that they would recognized them. And then when you enter the red carpet, the carpet is seperated into two lanes... The normal ppl (like me lah) are ushered to one side, and the actors/directors are usherd to another side where there's this massive crowd of reporters and cameras and blinding lights lining up by the railing to interview them.
And that's their life you know. Basically it takes them forever to walk down the carpet cause there are at least more than 20 reporters from different stations and new media with their cameras and lights and all that. And well, the celebrities basically gets ushered by security from one reporter to the next all the way down the aisle. Madness.
Then at the middle, there's a platform that has been erected (i think this one was for E! Entertainment) and they will go up to the stage to be interviewed. Then ushered down and towards another 12 reporters waiting for their turn one by one.
And when they say that celebrities live in the spotlight, man, i finally know what they mean. It's not just like the lights from the cameras, there's just these huge massive white spotlights illuminating the aisle where the celebrities are walking (i think it's lighting for the cameras) and it's just BLINDING, BRIGHT and HOT also. Such madness, no wonder these celebrities are not like normal people, you know, cause truthfully, they DON'T live a normal life!
Neways, yeah so that was that... and then we went for the after party too which was inside the Universal Theme park, and like a whole big red carpet lined the way towards where the party was. The atmosphere was really nice too cause the party was held where the European and Birtish quadrants of the theme park, and it was all really nicely lit and stuff. Really atmospheric.
And it was nice, getting to see Universal one last time.
Neways, this is Serenity, i actually liked the show quite abit. Although it was a movie, it didn't feel like a movie movie, it felt more of like an extended version of a sci-fi episode on big screen, but still, i thought that the pace of the movie really carried the audience quite well throughout the show.
