So this story occurred back on Monday, December 1st, at approximately 10:05 pm... there's really nothing to it, just one of those stupid little moments where yours truly makes a fool of himself in front of someone.
To set the stage, I had been hanging out at the Arclight Theater all evening over on Sunset Blvd with my friend Kam who I know from church/bible study. Kam had a friend who works at the Arclight and he was able to get us free tickets to see films of our choice there, and since neither of us wanted to pay for the gay-themed movie Milk but were both kinda curious to see what all the fuss was about (and I wanted to be better able to debate the film with proponents of the gay rights movement), we both decided to see it at 7:00... well... you can read my reaction to that horrendous motion picture here. Anyways, we decided to get another film in to capitalize on our free movie chances and also wash away the sour Milk still in our mouths. (It goes without saying that there was honestly nothing out at this time of year, hence the lousy film choices... we also weren't paying for these films as I've stated previously... hence the lousy film choices.)
We settle for what looks like a mediocre comedy, Four Christmases... (and boy, was it ever... so much so that I haven't even acknowledged it with a review over on my film blog, and seeing as how I'm terribly behind on my film reviews - I have at least nine or ten films I've seen but not reviewed yet - you probably won't be seeing a review for Four Christmases anytime soon... sorry.) The film starts at 10:10 and I step to the bathroom before the screening. When I enter the theater, I see Kam on the opposite side of the room, and so naturally the thing to do is to walk in front of the whole theater and go over to where she is by the other side entrance. There was virtually no one in our theater, just two people sitting in the middle about half way up the stadium seating. I don't know what got into me, but I can only assume that because I was in a goofy sort of mood and had just seen Milk, I felt like instead of walking across the theater, I should do a little gay prance/skip/hop instead. So away I go, bounding around like a fool, waving my arms in the air. Kam and the theater workers are laughing as I skip towards them, and I hear giggling coming from the two figures seated in the theater.
I end my prance of gaiety over by Kam and the workers and immediately am informed by the theater worker: "Hey man, nice going, you just made a fool of yourself in front of Lindsay Lohan" Now to be accurate, he didn't use the word "fool"... he used a word more commonly associated with California, one I can't repeat here, but it brings up connotations of a donkey... all that said, I look up and sure enough, there's Lindsay Lohan herself, along with her bisexual girlfriend Samantha Ronson (pictured above) laughing away at me. I almost couldn't recognize them, they both were wearing wool caps pulled down over their hair, the wet ends of which hung down by their faces (the descriptive phrase "drowned rat" or "wet dog" comes to mind), and they both looked pretty awful to put it bluntly. So I'm not sure which was funnier, being laughed at for doing a gay little skip, or being laughed at by someone looking like Lohan and Co.
Either way, it made for a memorable moment, one which I shan't soon forget. I'll refrain from saying too much about what I think of Lindsay and Samantha, but let's just say folks like them can laugh at me anytime they wish... doesn't bother me in the least, coming from them. The saddest thing is that this little incident was waaaay funnier than anything that happened in the movie... but oh well, that's why we didn't pay for our tickets. ;-)
