Social media is taking over

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!
