So Toy Story 3 opened in the UK today, and I ended up seeing it twice. Once with a small group of friends, and then again with my best friend a couple of hours later, as she couldn't make it earlier in the day. I didn't mind though, because the film was absolutely awesome. Beware when reading this thread though, because there are spoilers for the film if you haven't seen it.
The First Showing
So, me and my friends are in line waiting for the first showing to open. We are pretty near the front of the line, and ahead of us is a mother with her two children, ahead of her is a group of people in their early twenties. The youngest child, probably about ten years old, ran to the head of the line.
Mother: Honey, come back here.
Kid: No! I'm going to be first in!
Mother: No honey, we have to wait in line like everyone else. We are second at the minute, that group of people was before us.
Kid: But I have been looking forward to this movie soooooo much and I want to get the best seats!
Mother: Aw, that's sweet.
The mother smiled at the head of the group who were at the front of the line, and tilted her head, as if to say "Awww, go on. Let us in before you even though you were first" One of the guys in the group spoke to the kid.
Guy: Sorry kid, we were here first.
Kid: But I want to be first soooooo bad!
Guy: Oh well, I'm sure you will still get some awesome seats.
The kid bowed his head and went back to his mother.
Mother: Huh! Some gentleman! Not letting a child in first! I thought we were going to a kids movie, not a movie for someone in their twenties.
Guy: Lady, I have been waiting for Toy Story 3 for TEN YEARS. No one is going ahead of me.
The doors opened, and we headed in. The kid ran in as fast as he could, but ended up changing his mind about ten times about where to sit. The seats he ended up with weren't that special.
Second Showing
The second showing was a bit more eventful.
So I was waiting in line again (was a bit further back this time) and ahead of me was another mother and child. The child was about the same age as the last one, and they were talking very loud.
Child: Dad downloaded Toy Story 3 for me last week.
Mother: Oh did he? He didn't tell me that.
Child: Yeah he did. I've already seen it, it was awesome, but I want to see it properly in 3D.
Mother: So it's good then?
Child: Yes it's good, and it gets soooo sad at the end. You really think the toys are going to die, but then they don't, and Andy donates them. You think they are getting donated to the daycare again, but he drops them off at a little girls house, and it's a happy ending.
About five people yelled out "WHAT THE HELL!?!?!" including my friend.
Mother: Maybe you should keep your voice down...
Child: *not taking the hint* And the bad guy gets tied to a garbage truck....
Someone yelled "SOMEONE PUNCH THAT KID!!!!" The mother put her hand over his mouth. He didn't say a word after that.
We got into the movie, and I ended up sat next to the most sarcastic teenager ever. He had quite clearly didn't want to see the movie, and had been dragged there by his girlfriend. Every time something happened, he would mutter "Yeah, like that would happen" or "Oh, isn't that convienient???"
Finally, the film was drawing to a close. It was the scene in which the toys are certain that they are about to be incinerated, and they are all hugging. Then, the claw appears, picks them up and rescues them. The teen blurted out:
"Oh my God, this film is soooooooooooooo unrealistic"
I couldn't contain it. I burst out laughing.
Me: So the claw rescuing the talking toys is unrealistic, but the talking toys aren't?
He mumbled something I couldn't make out, folded his arms and sat back in a mood.

I went to see the first movie in cinemas at fifteen. I still remember seeing it in the cinema, as well as going to see the second movie. No-one, but NO-ONE, is going to push in front of me when I go and see the third movie, dammit!
