this is what fandom looks like

My brother just sent me a picture he took in my apartment in 1991. While I vaguely remember having a chalk board hanging in my kitchen back then, I have no specific memory of this usage of it. According to my brother, it was showing how many times I'd seen T2 in the theater. Wait, what? I always thought I saw it a mer eight times in the theater. I guess my memory is a little fuzzy.

Go ahead, count the hash marks. I'll wait.

ELEVEN

My brother wasn't sure why there was a "NO" symbol draw over it, but after thinking about it for a minute, we both concluded the man had drawn it on there. Seems likely he would've weighed in negatively after my eleventh contribution to the T2 box office ;)

If I didn't have to drive 55 miles to see it, I might have seen it more than once. (Maybe not 11 times.)

An hour's drive would certainly hamper obsessive trips to the movie theater! We had to drive about 45 minutes to get to a theater when I was growing up. Thankfully, I was living much closer to civilization by the time T2 came out ;)

I was amused that my brother, who'd merely visited me for a weekend, remembered it all.

11 times!

You really are as bad-ass as Sarah Connor, I don’t think I’ve seen T2 11 times on video/TV/DVD/Blu-ray…well, maybe I have but I didn’t keep count.

Really? Oh my. If I add in at-home viewings of T2, I can't even imagine how many times I've seen it. It must be dozens.

That's devotion ...

the most times I ever saw a movie in the Theaters is five and that's The Dark Knight and Hunger Games and THG has more to do with me being stuck somewhere with nothing better to do.

Meanwhile, I haven't even seen The Dark Knight. I hated the second movie, which made me shy away from the third one. I thought Hunger Games looked kind of lame, but there was so much hype that I watched a cam/pirated copy just to see if it might be worth seeing for real. I thought it was terrible and that was that.

I know there are a few movies I saw twice in the theater, but none were because I loved the movie so much that I had to see them again. It was just situations where I went to the movies with different people and ended up seeing the same movie again because it's what they wanted to see. Two that come to mind are Rambo and Phantom Menace.
