Time Warner Cable had a free advanced screening this evening, so the sammich maker and I braved the cold to go see it.
Security was fairly tight for a movie, guys with handheld metal detectors spot checking the crowd. Not sure what good spot checking does short of getting people to turn around and leave. I got up to the line and he went to wand me and I just raised my eyebrow and looked down at the external concealed pocket on my 5-11 fleece. I'm guessing he picked up that I was telling him there was a handgun in the pocket. He asked me if I had any recording devices on me and asked me to turn off my cell if it wasn't. He then gave a discrete nod and told me to enjoy the movie. Pretty sure I recognize him as a deputy sheriff, probably working off duty security for holiday cash. I thought that was pretty cool of him given this is NYS. Yeah I know, cool story bro.
Anyway, the movie was pretty good. The female elf was yummy
, and it is worth seeing in 3D. Worth going to see, better than most trash the studios put out these days.
