M and I saw 'Snow White and the Huntsman' on the weekend. I had seen it being promoted on a talk show and heard it was a different take on the Fairy Tale with Snow White having fight scenes and taking a more active role. It turned out to be more of M's kind of action movie and I left the theatre feeling a bit tense. I thought Charlize Theron did a great acting job, however.
What was new for me was a new interactive app game you can play on your smart phone before the start of the feature film. If you answer the questions correctly you earn scene points which can be used toward movie rewards. At the end of the game it displays the scores/results of all the players. Social media and its marketing is taking over! We've also been told we can load our scene points card onto our smart phone and you never have to worry about carrying the card again! Everything is changing so fast. You can even purchase your movie ticket online and load it onto your smart phone and have it scanned from there. I have an older Blackberry with just one app loaded onto it. There is a lot to learn when I eventually upgrade to perhaps an Iphone. I already feel left behind!

Progress! But I think I will miss all the other people when smart phones take over the world! Valerie
Gee, what will they think of next. David goes to the movie theater every Saturday afternoon, but does not own a smart phone. I don't even know if what you described is offered here in Hawaii.
It's true about technology, but I'm always a step behind. I still don't know how to use my iPhone properly.
Goodness, and here I thought we suppose to turn off our phones in the theater!
As far as apps go, I don't want to deal with them. I just want to have a simple life. Phone to make calls, that is it! I am way in the stone age too :-)
I noticed that too when I was at the movie!!!
wow, if you feel left behind I think I must be really nonexistent , I don't own a cell phone or any phone, except our land line, my husband has though, he is very techy
I didn't know about that, crazy how fast things are taking off.
I know how you feel - it's hard to keep up. I started blogging partly to bring myself into the age of technology!

Technology is sure progressing real fast!
