This story must be prefaced by the fact that we don't condone tweeting during movies but this story was too delicious not to share. Christopher Elena, known Carol lover and apparently Australian prankster, took his young brother and his gaggle of 13 yr old friends to the movies with the promise of Deadpool.
But he bought tickets for Carol instead. On purpose. For your reading pleasure after the jump...
My 13 year old brother wants me to take him & his friends to see DEADPOOL.

I could not think of anything more detrimental & dangerous.
But don't worry I'm buying the tickets.
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 21, 2016
I hope those little bastards enjoy CAROL.

My brother walking past the CAROL poster:
"Hah! Who would watch that shit?"
In the next 35 minutes you and your friends will be.
Little brother: "Chris, why did you pick this arty cinema? They don't have slurpees"
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
The little assholes are asking questions!!

— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
My Brother: "YOU ARTY FARTY HIPSTER FUCKING LIAR"
The remaining boys want to leave. They start marching out of the cinema except for one
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
Boy #5: "Dis guy with the hat, is he a lesbian too?"
*As they walk out to find the cinema showing Deadpool*
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
Friend #2: "WE WERE THA YOUNGEST IN THE CINEMA BY 150 YEARS - I SHOULD'VE KNOWN"
Deadpool was in Cinema 8. We were in cinema 6. After all that, I couldn't stop them.
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
They'll never forgive me.
Me outside Cinema 8
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
"Guys. Carol is about love. Deadpool is about farting. Please, don't do this. Come back. You'll end up better people"
They all looked at me. Their little obnoxious souls destoyed. My brother, dead straight eye stare says:
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
"All we ever wanted was Deadpool"
Friend number 5 ran out soon after to DP
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
I'm hoping he caught the first glance at the toy store. He'll grow up to be a great leader someday
Their session ends at 11:30.
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 23, 2016
I've lost the respect of all 13 year old boys everywhere.
I've lost the love of a brother.
Still worth it.
and a few choices reactions to the story...
Every February 23 will now be remembered as the day @Christoph_Elena fooled a bunch of 13 year olds into seeing Carol instead of Deadpool
— Ella Donald (@_pingus) February 23, 2016
@bwestcineaste Here's hoping when Deadpool 2's out there'll be a new Claire Denis film in limited release for me to do this all over again
— Chris Elena (@Christoph_Elena) February 21, 2016
@Christoph_Elena Chris Elena: fighting the patriarchy one 13-year-old boy dragged to CAROL at a time.
— Alex Heeney (@bwestcineaste) February 23, 2016
@ShaunageAU @bwestcineaste @beer_movie I would've killed to have seen ANY Todd Haynes film on the big screen at 13!
