Did you know that if you go to one of these movie premieres you are not allowed to bring your phone and/ or camera? Crazy isn`t it? It´s like airport security. I suppose people are scared that you might copy the whole film and put it on youtube. The asian version to just pay the guy that shows the movie and then copy its straight from there seems way easier to me!
So before you enter the movie you give away everything digital and put it in a paper bag. This ends up in quite a bit of waiting time and some confusion:

As soon as you get you “life supporting equipment” back a shuttle service (large busses) take you to the after party location. I heard someone complain that he had to see the original version – well I would have liked to instead we saw the dubbed german version. And this is how a Quantum Of Solace or in german Ein Quantum Trost After Party looks like when you enter it:

And when you are done with drinking, dancing and eating you always tend to get one of these “goody bags”. I think from now on I might start to show you whats in them. Sometimes you get special things like a nice TShirt or parfume that you can give away to friends. I am keeping the TShirt though guys!

Oh … yes … and the movie … decide yourself ;)

Krabat- a movie inspired by a german childrens book premiered at Sony Center yesterday. We saw the movie, did the party and found out that there were 2.000 people invited to the premiere – 1.500 came and 700 of these got to go to the After Party eventhough probably only 300 followed through. It`s a nice movie to see in the falltime with some really nice pictures.

After the after party @ the after party ; )
