SHEPHERD Treats Photogs Like Cattle

The Good Shepherd
Ziegfeld Theater, 7pm screening

Arrival area was in the shape of an 'L', two sided on the short side.
Photographers were packed in tight like cattle going to the slaughter.

Talent were relatively cooperative; Matt Damon and wife posed, DeNiro posed (shocking!), Billy Crudup... then Brangelina showed up....

The walked up the middle of the street from 6th ave towards the premiere. Together they walked past the fans smiling and holding hands. They then posed for the photogs.

They posed together along the short side of the 'L', but broke off once they reached the corner. Pitt ran in and Jolie did interviews.

Calling the list was a mess. Universal had their list and we had ours. The list universal list was called, allowing those shooters to take a place first, to be followed by 'our' list.

Things got really fouled up from that point on. Shooters first on the list wound up in the 2nd and third row. People who showed up last, wound up in the front row. Tempers flared as shooters jostled for position.

At 7:30 in the MORNING their were already 8 people waiting. Anyone know what time the first shooter arrived?
