Ok...so apparently there's a new movie out called new moon. Let's just gloss over the obvious question of "why the heck is everyone so freakin obsessed with this movie?" and move straight onto the second question: "Why camp out for a movie?" This isn't a musical or a play where every performance has something different and the first showing will likely have all the leads and the actors will have brought their "A" game. It's a MOVIE. It stays the same. It's not like, if you don't watch it on the first day the actors will change and you'll find that next week the main role will be played by Ben Stein.
Don't give me the "it's for the theater experience" crap either. Really? You can have the same theater experience the next week when you aren't stuck in line with the 200 other crazies that HAVE to see the movie on the first day. Also, what if the movie's a disappointment? I can tell you most of the people who lined up for the new starwars movies probably wished they had saved their $10.95 for something marginally more useful, like a shamwow or something.
I really can't think of any good reason to go line up and pack yourselves into a full theater to watch a movie at midnight on the day that it opens. If any of you have a GOOD reason...please let me know.

only "good" reason i can think of would be to avoid all the movie spoilers out there.
