Mllemass, I'm hoping he trips just as he approaches you to thank you for being his fan and his lips land on your mouth. Then he's all embarrassed and fumbly and begs your forgiveness, but you act like the Queen that you are and tell him it's nothing but is he okay? And to make it up to you he invites you to dinner at a fancy restaurant where he regales you with funny and clever stories about hiking in Nepal and what Mark Gatiss is *really* like. 😁😜
So, yes, have a plan, but be ready to adapt if necessary.

I'm expecting lots of complaints from the Tesla fans when the movie premieres. Will they be as bad as the Montalbahn Khan fanboys?

The trailer was good in the sense that it focused in Edison-Westinghouse dispute and Tesla was just a mention. The problem I see is that some people think or hope that the movie wil finally do justice to Tesla. They are going to be disappointed. I was not around when STiD was released and missed all the Khan thing. There is one of the names they gave BC that I found funny that is Butawhiteboy Cantbekhan.

I think it was beyond Khan. It was just trekkies being offended because they weren't the original cast. It happened something similar with Patrick Steward series in the 90's: "the bald captain" wasn't their captain!

I rather think the Tesla bandwagon crew will be disappointed too! They won't care that the AC/DC "war" wasn't all about him. They'll think it should have been regardless. And I hadn't heard that name for BC. "There is one of the names they gave BC that I found funny that is Butawhiteboy Cantbekhan". I never found the silly name generator thing very funny, but I do think that's funny. It's actually even quite clever! And re that review, for all it's slight and I'm not giving any great weight to it, that's still REALLY good! I might even go to see if anyone's had the nerve to post it on the Awardswatch board, although I know it'll have been shot down in flames if it has. It might be amusing to see the negators frothing at the mouth about it though.

Ha! Sounds like a great plan! However, it's unlikely to happen because he is surrounded by security people who would catch him before his lips ever reached mine. I'll bet even Karon has been trained to throw herself into the path of any danger that may cross his path.
It's far more likely that I would trip! I actually tripped over my own feet today while cleaning the bathroom. I managed to grab onto the doorway to stop myself from landing head-first onto the hallway floor. I wasn't injured, but I broke a fingernail. I sure hope Benedict doesn't notice that one of my nails is shorter than the others!
I've been reading comments from Tom (Spiderman) Holland fans excited to see him there, so I'm guessing that I will be at least twice the age of anyone else.

I hadn't heard that name, either, but it is very clever!

Lord, I'm reading the YouTube comments and more than half are Tesla, Tesla, Tesla. That reviewer thinks Millennials might not be interested, but the thing is, the character they will be very interested in isn't the focus of the movie.

Besides the Tesla talk, one article I read said that everyone has heard of Edison but most people have never heard of Westinghouse. Is that even true? I was just reading about him in our local paper this week.
It turns out that the first factory that George Westinghouse established outside the US was right here where I live, in 1897. That factory was how we became known as an "industrial city" - yay! The article went on to talk about the man who was hired to run the factory - he and his wife had no children so they left a ton of money to their housekeeper when they died. The housekeeper's son is still alive and was interviewed for the article. The factory building has been sitting empty for decades and has recently been purchased to be turned into condos. I grew up with "Westinghouse" being much better-known than Edison!

OT in terms of The Current War but Butawhiteboy Cantbekhan remains the one and only "lol his name" generated nickname I think is actually witty and funny.
I doubt the Tesla fanboys will be as bad as Montalban-obsessed Trekkies. Although I understand both issues.
