Germany premiere of "Transformers - Revenge Of The Fallen"

Unbelievable but true. It has actually lasted a whole week until I finally got the report on Germany Premiere was written by Transformers 2 ready. It's a damn long text, but I hope I still have your fun with it.

It should be noted here that the entry does not review the film contains. The review will probably tomorrow or so.

Have fun!

TRANSFORMERS - REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
- GERMANY PREMIERE -

uninteresting skirmish

clock 8:00 - After a sleepless night in which I do all the time in bed laughing with joy and had to chuckle because the idea alone in a few hours on the Transformers Premiere Germany just to be me so incredibly happy, it was finally time to get up again. Despite the lack of sleep I was feeling just fantastic. And while I was freshly made, I asked myself repeatedly whether I would get the opportunity there, probably with the stars of "Transformers" to talk? Perhaps it would even a small photo or an autograph it! The whole joy and hope to the contrary, I tried as far as it went to master and my expectations to infinity to screw up. The higher the expectations, the greater could also be a disappointment (or as Count Dooku would say it is "Double the courage, double the fall"). That kept me on it but still not my Transformers DVD (the fine slipcase) and the extra purchased for the event set in silver Edding carefully into a small bag of Tchibo and wrap in a sleep pants. You never know.

Tchibo is your best friend: D

10:30 clock - along with a guy with whom I would go to Berlin, I was sitting in a giant, fat Mercedes Benz, in Of comfort was hard to beat, waiting for another passenger, who was no more.
drove Soon we will go from Hamburg to Berlin. "Sorry, but only a few miles to the Germany premiere" went through my head and on the trip I found that my joy knew no boundaries really, neither of kilometers long traffic jam on the A25, yet the sometimes very dry talks surface with the driver, nor the incredible heat, or the urge all the time could Kacken to dissuade me from my joy. But they made me hour after hour always flabby and hungry. I felt like the previous sleepless Night slowly but surely showed its effect. So I could not wait to finally out of the miserable, get out even if very comfortable car! But until the time came, we had to wait a couple of hours .... ... Snap!

Berlin Berlin

14:20 clock - Finally! Finally arrived at Berlin's main train station, first of all I ran to the nearest Burger King (HUNGER!!), brought me a giant Crispy Chicken Menu, sat at a table and stuffed myself so much in his mouth like it was just . Sorry, had to quickly determine that after the bag of french fries (!) Is already completely full was. A little frustrated about my premature satiety, I still forced myself to stuff the other burger into my mouth.
After everything was gone, it went even further towards S-Bahn. Because according to schedule, I got sent a few days earlier, the accreditation started at the press counter at the Sony Center am Potsdamer Platz in already clock at 15:30.

15:15 clock - my smart, wrinkled piece of paper the following, I went a little tired at the said place. After a few minutes, and countless corridors and branches, most of which led to nirvana (exaggeration), I finally arrived at the Sony Center. But what I there saw conjured all my fatigue and self-pity away from one moment to another, a huge red carpet stretched across a delightfully large field, across giant Transformers posters hung with the heading "Germany Premiere" , and where you saw was people were squeezed together behind the barriers, hoping that they are lucky enough to get autographs from the stars. The Horde has been well kept by the many security people in the eye. A giant Decepticon logo adorned the podium, standing around on the celebs and later interviews would be. Only now I was really clear where I was: on the Germany premiere of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and it was exactly as you have always imagined; Grandiose and hot!

Awesome shit!

After I shot some nice photos, it went for me again already for accreditation at the press counter. As discussed went to the restaurant Lindenbräu.

The press counter

15:30 clock - I had only a little search for the venue because nowhere pretentious ">>> HERE PRESS TO COUNTER !!!!\u0026lt;\u0026lt;\u0026lt;" up and you asked me to "contact by the back door (!)" To go ...... how mysterious! As at the end turned out, the Lindenbräu was a simple little cubbyhole and directly at the back entrance was a small, quickly cobbled together counter, which was equipped with one or two more or less young women. Not very persuasive. I also had to find to my surprise, that was next to the two women and bar a slightly older, thicker woman because no one else. So I took ever a small press book, I was sitting somewhere in the corner and waited.

came after half an hour then finally to Mr. P, is the extra risk from Trier to Berlin. Awesome. I finally had to wait no longer alone. In order not to weary of the tedium, Mr. P and I grabbed a couple of white sausages, pretzels and orange juice spritzer.

Waischwurscht

When, by and by all the press people eintrudelten, I was like "Wow! Soon it begins: D ". I imagined a big meeting with a senior person and a great speech, a la Barack Obama and a lot of Crowds and what not. If only I knew what "accreditation" actually means. In the end it was just a boring waiting in line to literally stick to any stupid yellow paper tape to the wrist. its bleakness ...
After I talked to a counter woman, turned out also that we would not there have to be there and press the "winner" (so she called us) are strictly separated from each other mu ; ssten ... fucking shit! Furthermore, I was also told that despite the gain probably no Meet & Greet with could have the stars. It just would not have been in profit with it, so the lady.

my dreams were gone ... but I kept talking back that hope dies last! And after all we can at least grab a couple of press kits and a celebrity guest list before. But how Asians are sometimes just as we wanted MORE! When we asked him if we were not allowed even a few small trailer and take it, we got just a dusty no for an answer. Again we the strict separation of press and winners were called. Too bad.

Looking for something interesting

16:40 clock - After the disappointing press fuss Mr. P and I went once around a bit to give us the environment to look more closely and to shoot more photos. You will still have much to write later. To 17:30 clock at least we have had time because from there inlet was for the premiere guests.
There was really nothing that would not have hinted at the Germany premiere: a large mass of people everywhere posters, the red carpet, and a huge TRANSFORMERS POSTER! The poster was really so great that one can hardly describe in words.

The small blue-black point, I am!

clock 17:30 - After a security guard in English (for whatever reason in English) have been informed that the probability of getting an autograph from the stars at the entrance is actually the least, we went Counter to the guest, to finally pick up our cards. The counter was ultimately only a white tent and a lot more there were many small laptops, which were served by beautiful women. Surprisingly
was already a small queue outside the white tent. We stood at the back and noticed only now what a diverse group it was: a funny pseudo j-pop/-rock German band from each band member looked like a girl with stubble beard, long-haired heavy metal types, very elegantly dressed people, and so on and so on. It was a very strange sight. For some reason, but each of which has made a face as the world would soon perish. You feel a bit "out of place" with his radiant smile and jumping around. Why do people but all of them looked sad to me was a mystery ...

The score counter. Full unspectacular!

After a few minutes we finally got our tickets. But where should we go now? On the red carpet, we will hardly run over, I thought. To be a bit smarter to be so I listened to the conversation of a security man and a few people: "You have to go behind the barrier to the cinema. Exactly once by DA, "said the security man, pointing past the barrier. Suddenly he looked at us, smiled and just said "go for sure on the red carpet!".
WOW! I felt so honored one of the few to be, which was allowed to walk down the red carpet. A few moments later I was then on the playing field by so many celebrities, stars and heroes.

I Premiere Germany with my card: D

The Red Carpet

17:40 clock - even if it was just a big, red piece of cloth, the much too much symbolism is awarded, it was herumzustolzieren still a wonderful experience it and mocking laugh at the people standing behind the fence and looked at us with envy .... MUAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAAA ... * Cough *. It was a phenomenal experience.
On the way to the cinema entrance we met the people Pro7 Gätjen Steven, who hosted the whole event. Unfortunately, he has totally ignored us ... unlike all the camera people who have filmed in carpet gear (we were shown on a big screen ... YEAH 8D).

Yeah! Envies us 8D

The hope dies last!

Once I like a madman excited with my camera had brandished wildly in the air to as much as possible to capture on my digital camera, we were already at the entrance of cinema. Apart from the huge banner and all the security people (AGAIN), the whole thing was rather unspectacular.
From minute to minute, the entire premiere guests cavorting at the entrance. I could get out on the red carpet looked and noticed that I see the stars of the cinema entrance is actually not more, let alone take pictures. So I asked one of the big, bearded doorman if we had later the Stars would get the opportunity to see up close and maybe even get autographs. Although hammered again and again the words of the counter lady by the Accreditation in my head, but I wish I could not just give up my hope. The bouncer told me kindly that before the movie showing in any case still would be a stage presentation in which the stars would be there. However, the Lord, it seems unlikely that one would get an autograph. But in order to maximize the opportunities, he suggested, he should sit in the front row. Who knows, maybe the stars press yes to one eye. The only alternative would be to stand out there on the edge of the red carpet and just hope. But you could for no guarantee.
"Shit," was the first thing that occurred to me to. I then find out there are the countless people in the hope that I get a zusammengekrickeltes autograph, but that maybe some can make "nice" photos, or should I rather wait in the cinema, where the probability was slightly larger? I chose the latter. For if there is already a stage presentation for the premiere guests, then you may as yet determined to shoot beautiful photos and who knows! Maybe even an autograph in it.
If only I had known how much I was mistaken in that respect yet.

Steven Gätjen o_O

17:50 clock - Mr. P and I took our leave from the nice doorman and walked toward Hall. But before we could even enter the stairs to the lower floor, we have previously called on all electronic items handed into the cloakroom. Le and! After careful consideration we did then but from everything that is electronic or could have been. There was now no great super photo more in it, but maybe for an autograph! So Mr. P and I went only with my DVD and the Edding under his arm to the basement. Once there, we
were greeted by a shocking number of giant metal-detectors, and a horde of security people. What the fuck. Where do all these people have only please her, I wondered legitimately. As expected, I was from top to bottom, inch by inch search of what was a somewhat a feeling of being a felon. Since I had nothing to hide, so I had to fear nothing, I thought at least. In fact, you have me but looked weird and angry when they discovered my DVD in my hand. I was invited to the DVD above, but please leave in the cloakroom. WHAT TO Verfickte GEIER ?!??! When I could start with a DVD slip case with no additional equipment or a movie cause someone terrible pain. Visibly upset, I discussed with the security types and after a short time and with the support of a friendly waitress, the man saw this madness, one and I could finally look something.

Cinema Time!

18:12 clock - I calmed down quickly again and looked into the magnificent hall of the cinema. It had a very nice atmosphere. A cool, blue light shone on the floor, and were scattered round tables on which stood various Transformersfiguren and sipped their drinks to the guests. But from one moment to the other, I was suddenly nervous, grabbed a champagne glass, the waitress offered me a sip to it, and played obsessively around with a Transformer figure. Was it really be so smart here and not at the top of the red carpet? I did not know, but I just hoped for the best.
I could hardly stand it, determined Mr. P and I have to put the movies, I very front, and Mr. P in the middle, where he gave us the best seats available. "Front ...", I thought, "well ahead is really the best place to get an autograph." I had to find out that I was completely alone in the front row. But what a surprise, but I had my neck more than 90 ° backward turn to even be able to see the full screen.
order to make the wait more pleasant for the guests, were on the screen and scenes from the trailer for the film and Live recordings of what happened on the red carpet just shown. After about 20 minutes then fell at last the long awaited words: "I have just received the news that the stars will arrive in less than two minutes here," said Steven Gätjen into the camera. My heart suddenly began to rap loudly on ... And then I saw it on the canvas as she got out of their limousines: Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf and Michael Bay. The screen flickered in front of loud flashes. "Oh my God! Equal to go, "laughed my heart.

Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox and Michael Bay

19:01 clock - since I watched a full half hour on the canvas, like the stars at photos, posters and toys in a hurry and totally unkind full of signed autographs. Their markings seen in part of fact, like stars and bars. But despite the long period of waiting, my nervousness would not go away. Would give me the stars at all just a modicum of attention? Meanwhile, I also provided Mr. P company and assured that our jackets our good places above would have in mind. Not very reassuring. After further
five minutes it was time! Mr. Gätjen announced that the stars on the way to the cinema is irrelevant. My heart beat higher and higher. I arrested before EVERYTHING in my power to do so that Fox and co notice me! I could not stop grinning and hippelte joy and excitement around on my comfortable seat cinema.
But what in God's name THE? Suddenly stormed out of the blue all possible Pressefuzzis the cinema, jostling before the first row and blocked me so the full view of the stage. What the hell was that? From the side I saw already antanzen security men and the first people who were also sitting in the front row, were scared away. The press people need space, so the reasoning. "ZOMG! I can not just think so, give great 'place for any press Heinis "I just shot through the head. Unexpectedly, I heard the question: "Hey you there! Are you in the press? ". I want your heart stopped. The only ... The only way I had was a lie! I had to lie, what were worth, otherwise I would regret it the rest of my life.
Seriously, I stared over to the grim-looking S. Mann. Our eyes met. I opened my mouth, but that was only what came out of an insecure "... ... "!?!? jaaaaah But to my surprise, the man replied, seemingly satisfied with an "okay" and walked away. I could not believe my luck, grinned with delight at Mr. P and wanted to shake like crazy with joy, until we were suddenly approached by another security man standing in front of us: "Please stand on. The press people ... ", my brain was out of sheer disappointment. Although I saw how the man's lips moved slowly, but the only thing I could hear was "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" ...

Incredibly frustrated sat Mr. P and I are a number further back. What the fuck ... of this position, but you have no chance at all, my thoughts.

clock 19:08 - The first row was now fully staffed and I was sitting with Mr. P about 6 meters gaaaaaaaaanz far away from the stage at the side along with DVD and Edding in hand ... it was hopeless. Steven Gätjen took the stage and the whole room fell into silence. After a short trite talk of "Great Movies" and "Revolutionary Action" at last the first star came on stage: Michael Bay, director of "Transformers" and other blockbusters like "Armaggeddon" and "The Rock". Shia Labeouf entered as the second stage and finally the delightful, beautiful Megan Fox! The crowd went wild and applauded as loudly as she could, as there would be nothing better and better in the world, as the stars can be seen in full bloom. The stars talked a little about Berlin, as would be delighted but in the capital of Germany must be to the side and they made a few jokes. However, I could not really concentrate on her little speech. I was much too busy a right time to identify in which I, according to bellow at the stage while holding my DVD in the air would. So to do something while one of the stars would be speaking, a little rude, so my opinion. So I waited and watched patiently.

was suddenly the response of the Stars completed and the large camera flashes began. "THAT IS MY CHANCE," screamed my head. I like a rocket shot from my seat up and I screamed lustily "MICHAAAAEL! SHIAAA !.... eh ... FOOOOOOOOOX "and waving around with DVD and pen in the air. They ignored me. I cried twice as loud it was "MIIIIIIIIICHAAAEL !!!!" but it was useless. I looked to my right and saw again a security Man signaled with a quiet gesture, but that there would be no good and I should sit down please. Disappointed, I sat down again, my DVD and my pen in his right hand clamped.
My sigh was drowned by the loud sound of the hall. But although I was very disappointed, I smiled once more to Fox Bay and LaBeouf and applauded again, according to the stars who left the stage and I will probably not see again for the time being . "Well," I said to myself "At least I can not later I claim that I have not tried it. " I tried to console me a little.

Mr. P suggested to our seats to go further up. And as we walked the few steps up, the room was getting darker, it was still on the screen flickered the glare of the projector: the film began.

After the film

21:20 clock - I left with mixed feelings from the movie theater. First, I was the action can put in so much joy that my heart was nearly torn to pieces and others I just could not the thoroughly stupid ... really forget Stupid humor. While I look at the highlights and shortcomings alike had to go through my head, I remembered once again to all the strange figures who were also part of the premiere guests: The gay tten J-Pop / J- Rock Band (as it turned out were called the "Cinema Bizarre), posing for the camera, a celebrity (whose name I omitted is just me) with a Transformers-cap on the barrel, which is also ridiculous posing for the camera & hellip ;. and, indeed, Oliver lime kiln, as he chatted with some guys. But otherwise all very interesting. Who is he already knows all these German B-celebrities who appear on TV once and then never again?

Although there apparently were running only an idiot, I thought, I could at least make photos of the cinema, which I was even denied before. So I went out again at some cinema staff and asked if I could take pictures because, because, after all, the show was coming to an end and there would be nothing more to fear. But despite all logic has been refused. It should generally not be refunded to take pictures .... WHY? Do they have such great fear, that I could photograph the hall, champagne or all of the popcorn!?

A little bitter, Mr. P and I went up again to pick up our bags at the cloakroom. Once there I looked at the little snippets of the numbers that I pulled from his pants pocket. Would not it be funny if I could keep the snippet as a reminder, I thought. So I asked the woman at the coat, because if that were feasible. "No," was the dry response and the more than understandable question, "Wa ... wa .... WHY ??!?!?!?" they only answered with any kind of Nonsense, because of that it is not feasible for technical reasons .... Wow! Very convincing.
side note: The number on the note, incidentally, was the 237th

Sony Center by night!

21:20 clock - The red carpet was deserted and around the Sony Center it was empty. While P and I once again let the film pass in review, made nonsense (PHOTOBOOOOOMB! !!!!) and walked around, we came across an old "friend": the German actor Oliver Korittke. Casual He stood there in his jacket, unshaven and wearing a cap on his head. For those who no longer should remember: actor Oliver was one of the jurors at the Transformers video contest by the GEE 2007th Two years ago, and I sweated P sweat and blood in order to win the first place, but unfortunately only got the fourth, which led quickly to their Lord, we Korittke blamed in the shoes. Now two years have passed and the resentment against him was gone. But somewhere there was still a bitter taste, as we saw him so. Nevertheless, I decided to speak to him and there was a small, friendly conversation about the film competition and containing what even the small talk part of it. It was very nice to see that we were not the only ones at the thought of the humor of the movie just could not shake his head. Korittke girlfriend but did not quite understand it our disgust. Here the conversation:

Korittke: "And? fandet Judge the movie "I
:" Pretty explosive ... "
Korittke:" Explosive sums it up best "
Me:" Was kind of cool. But my goodness ... there have been some really .... strange
And funny '(in the sense of stupid) scenes in the movie ... I'm just saying balls' "
Korittke:" What balls "
Mr. P:" When Devastator "
Korittke: "Oh my God ... the balls ... oh my ... ... ... ... ... .." All three
: Girlfriend * rolling eyes *
Korittke: "AHHH! Yes, the scene was TOTALLY funny: D I've broken me laugh! "
Korittke:" ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .... \u0026lt;_____\u0026lt; * * Turn away from his girlfriend
Mr. P & I: "... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...." \u0026lt;_____\u0026lt; * * staring at his girlfriend

Hach yes XD But sweet she looked beautiful and she seemed very charming to be x)

Mr. P, actor Oliver and I

21:40 clock: Mr. P and I completely forgot that we were still invited to the premiere party! You should be in the former Telecommunications office held and it was expected quite a few guests. Actor Oliver could unfortunately not come because he and his girlfriend had to get up the next day, probably very early to work. So we said goodbye to him and went straight to the shuttle bus, which we should Request by e to the party.

PARTY TIME !!!!!

21:45 clock: After a relatively short drive through the city at night (which, incidentally, was a great experience), we were already at the entrance of the former telecommunications office, the place where the big party should be! As already pointed out all the Sony Center out that this would leave the Transformers-mail: posters, projectors, the big "Transformers" cast on the wall, a small red carpet with shut-off and of course listen to the very large number of security people ... ... WHAT IN GOD'S NAME, THE PROMOTER FOR paranoid delusions ?????? No matter!

There were people EVERYWHERE Security! AGAIN!

Everything photographing what we got in the way, we went inside it. This time, we shit, but on the stupid clothes and backpacks and took all possible technical on me that we had to. After a few steps we came to drink at last there on, where countless people have gathered together to celebrate, to eat and dance in particular. Awesome. The extremely large room was illuminated with light and dark blue here and there, there were also some colorful contrasts. The black light made the whole Mountain Dew bottles are green and saw all of Summa been really fascinating. We did not pass another second and meddled with the people.

The first thing I noticed were some pretty big pallets with small treats. In others, there were small, round, Keksförmige things that tasted a bit of bread with liverwurst, but somewhere it was something else entirely. Also very noticeable were the cooks all that stood in the corner and live food prepared. However, her cooking skills were reduced to a minimum so that it refers only to the preparation of labbrigen Hawaii toast, chicken wings and pizza had to concentrate. Tasted it anyway.

Hurgh ... I get hungry!

was also interesting that a few Gogo Dancer, who looked like the guys from Star Light Experss, on small separate Stage and danced to a remix Transformers herumhampelten. Among the dancers, a beautiful young woman was there who was armed with a large metal rod and actually quite good ... well "fight" ... could. What does this have to do with Transformers? It's obvious! Each transformer would still stick with a wild kick around and beat! Led by Optimus Prime: D ... Seriously, it was really strange, though funny to watch.

Gogo Dancer in the crowd

After looking at a few Mountain Dews somewhere sat down, we noticed only now that a great many new Transformers figures strewn around the room. So we took a few and played around with it. It was not long until we had played enough of the characters and the greed for more seethed within us. We need more "stuff"! So we crept like the hunters in search of prey around, but unfortunately in vain. Probably most of the characters were taken from other already. Very annoying. So we limited ourselves again in search of food and alcohol.

Mountain Dew - It's the only choice!

But as we wandered around in comfortably among the crowd cried Mr. P suddenly like a little girl: "* GASP * .... Da .... there is Michael Bay !!!!". I knew not only what he meant, looked in the direction in which his finger pointed and suddenly I tore open my eyes and my chin slipped into bottomless depths. There he stood! Michael Bay, the Jedi master himself, with an Astra in one hand and the other sticking in his pants. He looked just as he was always seen in videos or in pictures and he has talked to any Paramount types (at least I believe that he was from Paramount).
sheer nervousness I was shaking like crazy. I just did not know what I should do. After a moment, I finally took courage, walked slowly and as serious as it only went up to him and spoke to him. Unfortunately, his presence was so intimidating that I could hinbrabbeln just some stupid sense of myself that I no longer get together so completely. I told him how honored I was to meet him but personally I was a very big fan of his films. After a short "Hi" from him, we shook hands. Cool as he was, he asked only:

"D'you want me to sign something up for you or what?" * Cool *

EXPLOSION!!

course I wanted him to have me for an autograph! Cheerful and excited I nodded to him, threw Mr. P to my Mountain Dew and my Chickenwing, ripped my backpack on and was looking for the DVD ... and searched ... and searched ... and searched ... and found it not easy. Smart as I was, I have the earlier DVD of course gaaaaanz below stowed in my backpack, so I only with much effort, they again could dig up. As more and more seconds passed and I now knelt on the floor, Michael Bay ever more distant from me. FOUND! I took the disc out carefully. The only thing I needed was my Edding. Unfortunately I had to first look for him. After a few seconds, I was finally ready, holding the silver Edding DVD as well in my hands. I went back to Mr Bay, and gave him the things. He smiled at me kindly. But for some reason he got the pen just does not. He pulled and tugged on the cap, but she would not be solved easily. Sheer uncertainty I apologized for it and wanted to give him the pen To open it but then left but rather, because that would probably not exactly come across as well. After Bay put away the beer from the left, he could finally remove the cap. Slowly and smoothly, he signed the DVD. No asterisks, no ugly lines. Very neat and clean. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWEEESOOOOOOMEEE!

As if that were not enough stress, I asked him if Mr P and I could make him a photo. In a nutshell, he replied "sure" and after a few more small Fauxpats we faced next to Bay and he put his hand on his shoulder. CLICK! The Photo was taken!

Oh man, we look shit ....

We thanked and said goodbye to Michael Bay and walked away. Like little children were excited Mr. P and I just do not anymore and literally ran away from the party. Our happier collectively then we looked out over and over again at the autograph and the photo. It was just too much excitement, so we went away happy and satisfied with the U-Bahn from the party, down to the hostel. Time and again we said to ourselves, how incredible that day has yet been. All the way over we had to grin with delight.

Aftermath:

0:45 clock: I lay in the stinking of sweat from the hostel bed-room and looked at the ceiling. I fell asleep very difficult, simply because the excitement still continued. Incredibly, the fact that I was walking down the red carpet. Too unbelievable that I could see one of the first people in Germany the new Transformers movie. Too unbelievable that I am personally met Michael Bay. And although it stank of sweat, it was incredibly hot, I could not sleep and everything was so incredibly loud. None of this could take away my joy.

EDIT: NO FUCKING WAY

XDDDDDDDDD was yesterday sent a small Transformers Special on Pro7 and in fact I'm seeing in a place very shortly! We see now how I look at my digital camera around to check out for good photos ops are. It can be seen on the one hand, and my chuck my jacket and my backpack XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD This is too stupid to be true XD
