Come on I would have committed suicide after waiting in line 3 months and finally seeing "Phantom Menace"
They must be some really big 'N SYNC fans!

One day, this will be something they'll tell someone else's grandchildren about.
By having these guys stand in line, they're effectively removing themselves from society where they cannot be a danger to the rest of us.
I wonder if, while they're waiting, they're listening to N'Sync CDs.
What a scam...if they're standing in line, how are they updating their website?
Are these people youngsters living with their parents still? Or "oldsters" living with said mommy and daddy?
They don't appear to have jobs, but yet are tracking everything with "cameras and journals." Is this some sort of government-sponsored "art" project?
Seriously, where does the part about making a living and contibuting to society come in?
Or do they each have to take an hour a week to run down to the unemployment office for their checks, and let the lady know that they applied for work at "Vandelay Industries..." (They make rubber; I'm going to be a rubber salesman.)

I think their girlfriends will keep the site up to date for them.
Why bother.
And the funniest thing is that me living on the east coast, I'll see it before they do. And I'll get the tickets the same day on the internet.
Hire a battlebot to stand in for you, put a web cam on it, remote it from your cubicle, head over once a day to change fuel, and you can keep your job.
That spinning one made by the nice amish-hat guys would do nicely, methinks.

Are you refering to being laughed at, ridiculed, and pissed on by drunk college kids while sleeping "real human contact"?
"Whereas sitting around on Slashdot posting this drivel about their lack of "lives" will be about all your "life" has to recommend it. I'm not sure who's winning that particular relay race."
I'm reading about them on Slashdot and they're sitting on the sidewalk. I form an opinion of them and post it and they're still sitting on the sidewalk. I go away from my computer and do some other stuff for a little bit and they're still sitting on the sidewalk.
To make a long story short, four months later I'll have forgotten about this whole thing, and we both know where they'll be...
Exactly. I saw LotR on opening day at the same theater these guys are camping out at. I bought my tickets a couple of days before via Fandango, showed up at the theater about two hours ahead of time, got great seats, and enjoyed the movie.
The funny thing is, if these guys are actually waiting to buy tickets, they might not get any. They could sell out on Fandango before the box office ever opens. I know that the first few days LotR was showing everything was sold out well in advance. I can see it now, on opening day the crowd files by them to go watch the movie while they stand outside in the Seattle rain because all the smart people bought their tickets on the internet. 4 1/2 months spent waiting for nothing. I'd pay to see that.
