duhawkgrl, the cameos I posted about were not from The Day Of The Doctor. The cameos I mentioned are from The Five-ish Doctors Reboot. I forgot to mention that
Anyway, the Gods and Mother Nature might be Whovians because DFW and the surrounding areas were spared from the icy conditions. I was able to drive up north and watch it in my niece's theater at 7:30pm last night. We got our tickets from the dispenser, ate at TGIF first and then headed to the theater. It's moments like this that I wish I were in NY or the UK because I bet they would have had daleks/cybermen/etc in the lobby or had the plastic soda cups with The Doctors on it or huge posters that my neice and I could have taken pictures with. Could you imagine being in the middle of David and Matt,, ? That's a threesome I'd happily take part of, . Anyway, my neice had her DW shirt with all The Doctors in it, her bowtie, suspenders and fez. I'm glad she dressed up because people did too. It was pretty cool. There were girls dressed as Matt, fez and suspenders and some that were wearing skimpy, body-hugging Dalek dresses. They must have been FREEZING! A lot of them were wearing their TARDIS knit hats and/or DW shirts.
My neice and I freaked though when we saw this tall, good-looking guy that was dressed as Matt, you know, just the coat, tie and suspenders---without the fez. Then we really freaked out when we saw this guy that was in a full-on Tom Baker costume---wig, hat, coat, scarf and all!!!
We ended up sitting at the very front and I sat beside this high school girl who was in the theater alone because none of her friends are into it. She came originally with a friend but that friend went off to see another flick. Anyway, I just adored her because she was just really fan-girling, . She, like us, had already watched it so she knew when the exciting or squeal-worthy moments were like we did, .
That was the first time my neice attended a film where there is a fiercely loyal, dedicated fandom. So she was delighted to see and hear the crowd wildly clap, laugh, squeal and scream all at the same time like us. People went nuts when Matt came onscreen, even wilder when David did.
After the film, there were people dressed up in the lobby for the 10pm show as well. A lot of them smiled at my in-costume neice and one of them even came up and said, "Good for you! You watch and like Doctor Who"? My neice was the youngest(12y/o) on both shows and the line at the 10pm show only had teenagers. One of the teenagers, without thinking, yelled, "FEZ!!" as soon as he saw my neice, . His Mom shushed him but we smiled though. We get it, we would have done the same thing, .
So anyway, on our way to the parking lot, we were passing this family. The Dad, I'm assuming, asked us if we were going to see Doctor Who. I told him we already saw it and then my neice saw one of the girls wearing a scarf and my neice said, "She's wearing The scarf!" as they walked past us. The girl heard and giddily said to her family something like, "She can tell just by my scarf" and I called back, "TOM BAKER!" and we all laughed, . As we neared our truck, I noticed this guy driving his car on our side. He stopped and I thought it was because he knew we were about to cross. But I noticed him slowly backing up and then moving towards us. It was dark and late and that immediately put me on guard. Well, that was an over-reaction on my part, . The guy sticks his head out of his window and yells, "Where did you get the fez???" . Told him we got it at Hot Topic and he just nodded his head and smiled, .
My neice got a lot of good attention and I'm glad. I really wanted her to see how a fandom can make people happy, giddy, and basically nice to each other. Heck, we even had a lively DW discussion with this older lady in the rest room, . She happily saw for herself that it's a common love and respect and you feel happy that there are people who share that passion and devotion.
So anyway, got home at 11pm. Wanted to post right away but had to do chores. This lady I was talking with in the rest room said that there are rumors that the Christmas episode will be a 2-parter. One airing this December and the other one airing in frickin' August!!! I hope that's not true. That's just too LONG! Then again, I thought November 23 was too long and lookee, it was just here, .
I'm glad, by the way, that the 3D was worth it. When we saw Monsters University in 3D, that was really a waste of money. The war in Arcadia alone was worth our DW money, That was amazingly shot.
I was so happy seeing Tennant on the big screen as The Doctor. I've seen him in that vampire movie but to me, David's hotness jumps to infinity when he plays The Doctor, . He and Billie do look older with him and his eye bags and her and her eyebrows. She needs to get her DW arch back. I think her eyebrows now make her look harsh. Oh, her lipstick was distracting too because the bottom part, basically it was past her lipline but I get it, it's part of her look, , Jenna was just soooo pretty, wasn't she? Unfortunately for her, the three zits on I think, the left side of her face can't be hidden in a 3D big screen, .
I am so glad we watched it in the theater because those extras in the beginning were funny. The one with Matt and David plus the Strax one with the popcorn, . I was hoping that after the behind-the-scenes footage(how cool was seeing Matt and David goof off and seeing Billie and David sitting and chatting together? the feels,!), they would show the Five(ish) Doctors Reboot but hey, that's okay. There is a thing called gluttony anyway, .
All in all, it was just a memorable night for my neice and myself. I am also sooo pleased everyone had a blast too!
