SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- The new "Star Wars" movie doesn't open until May 16, but John Guth and Jeff Tweiten already have their spots in line.

Guth, 32, and Tweiten, 24, took their places outside the Cinerama theater on January 1. They plan to wait there, taking snooze breaks in sleeping bags or a nearby van, for more than four months, until the curtain opens on "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones."

The pair is undeterred by the fact that even Cinerama management doesn't yet know whether the movie will play at the theater.

Guth is president of the Seattle Star Wars Society and Tweiten is one of the club's roughly 1,200 members.

Guth said donations from society members cover food costs. They're killing time in line reading, watching movies on a portable DVD player and talking to people waiting for more current fare.

"I admire their enthusiasm for the movie, but as it's been proven in the past, everyone who wants to see this or any other film will be able to get tickets for it," said Brian Callaghan, spokesman for General Cinema, which manages the Cinerama.

And if the movie should open elsewhere locally?

"Then we'll go there," Guth said.

Wonder if theyll get a discount??

Wow, that defies words. That is one of the saddest things I have ever read. Do these geeks have jobs?
 
The only discount they deserve is to the NUTHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people have no life whatsoever. So sad 🙁
 
Someone slap those fools.


nothin' like waiting in line for 5 months to be horribly disappointed once again 🙂 poor souls...
 
So, two guys with either no bills whatsoever or trust funded or something would rather waste four months of their lives to wait in line to see a movie that will be shown on a bazillion screens across the country, several times a day on each screen. Instead of taking that time and doing something productive, like volunteering for a homeless shelter, they're going to try and get their 15 minutes of fame by complete and total GEEKS?!?!

<shaking head in disbelief>

Not even kami would do such a thing, eh? 😉
 
I know a couple of girls i could hook these losers up with. I understand being a Star Wars fan but that I am sorry is just simply pathetic. I feel sorry for their parents.

Nope. I just buy my tickets a month in advance and avoid the lines 🙂
 
i'll be lining up in april, but doing only weekends because of classes. some will be there the whole six weeks though.

this is the grauman's chinese thater line in LA.

not all of them have nothing to do. some are fortunate to get the six weeks off, some join on nights and weekends, some currently do not have a job. you can join in at anytime, for any amount of time, all lining up for the midnite showing.

the line is a lot of fun. if you ever get a chance, watch "star woids" which is a documentary of the first episode I line, made by a guy in the grauman's line. it's one of those experiences you never forget. i lined up overnite with them for harry potter, and that was a lot of fun in itself.

we had a hotel room across the street for anyone that needed its facilities, we had power from the guy in the parking booth, someone was currently in the process of moving and had with him a tv and playstation, and portable dvd players and laptops also helped to pass the time.
