What an incredible evening! Watching the premiere of the new Stargate direct-to-DVD movie on the deck of the USS Midway was the coolest event I have ever been to! (I can't upload photos of the event from my camera, so check out Pop Culture Zoo's photo gallery here.)
The deck of the aircraft carrier was set up with a large screen and completely surrounded the bleacher seating area with speakers. There were several concession stands set up serving candy, popcorn, pretzels, and drinks. It got a little chilly on the deck as the movie played, but the story was so compelling that you hardly noticed it.
Afterwards, there was a private reception below deck where the cast and crew mingled with the guests. I had the opportunity to meet my TV girlfriend Amanda Tapping, and made a complete fool of myself as I stammered some seemingly stalker- like introduction: "I'mahugefanandIloveyourshowandyourcharacterandIthinkyouaregreat" or some such drivel. I must have come across like that awkward Chris Farley character from SNL. Amanda was very gracious and posed with me for a picture.
All in all, a very cool event and a spectacular movie!
