My "Night on the Towns" experience!

Hey everyone! As you all may know, the film "Paper Towns" released in theaters today. Last night, there was a special event for the movie called "Night on the Towns", where fans got to see an early screening of the film. I got the chance to go to my local theater with a friend and sit there for nearly 3 hours (not that I really minded) and see the early screening and everything they showed after the film.

Before the film starts, it opens with John Green welcoming everyone to the screening and that he hopes you enjoy it, and afterwards Dylan O'Brien hosts for a moment to give you a sneak peek trailer for the film "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials". *Sigh*... If only Dylan O'Brien could've been cast as Q for Paper Towns.

Anyway, after the film ended, they had a live show hosted by the fabulous Tyler Oakley in which there was a Q&A with John Green, the filmmakers and some of the cast, and there were also live performances by up-and-coming Saint Motel, and Nat and Alex Wolff. This live show lasted about an hour or so, which wasn't bad, but overall the entire experience with the film and the live show lasted a little over 2 and a half hours.

The film was extremely amazing, heartwarming, and hilarious. I had just finished reading the book the night before so everything was fresh in my mind, and yes, I sat next to my friend pointing out everything that they either didn't put in the movie or changed. I especially loved Austin Abrams' character Ben Starling. I felt like he played the role perfectly, and he was such a hilarious character.

If anyone wants to know what my favorite scene was during the movie, it would have to be the scene where Q and his friends were in the abandoned souvenir shop and Ben started singing the Pokémon theme song, and the rest of the group joined in. It was such a funny scene, and I think I even found myself singing along as well. Another scene I enjoyed was when Q and his friends were on their way to New York to find Margo, and they stopped at a gas station and the cashier was none other than Ansel Elgort, who played Augustus Waters in last year's film adaption of another John Green book, The Fault in Our Stars. I was so surprised to see Ansel and I flipped out when I saw him, and you could hear everyone in the theater gasping and yelling "Oh my gosh!" and "Hey what!"

This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The movie was awesome, the live show was so fun to watch, and I even got a cool commemorative poster signed by Cara Delevigne, John Green, and Nat Wolff, and I got a cute locket as well that has a map in it, and it has "Night On The Towns 7•23•15" engraved on the back.

Leave a comment if you went to "Night on the Towns" or if you just saw the regular early screening for Paper Towns! I hope everyone who saw it had a great time!
