THINGS TO DO

I'm going. Luckily, the theater in Corinth has about 6 showings tonight, so if we don't get in the first one, I'm sure another will be open. I'm definitely excited, especially with all the glowing reviews. But I think opening any movie earlier than 12:01 opening day is really a marketing ploy. But with Iron Man, I'm definitely getting sucked in.
Saw it Thursday night and was blown away(nearly literally). The movie was great. Even when I knew what was coming, I was surprised. I didn't even look at my watch or get up to go to the restroom. We didn't get there as early as I wanted and had to sit near the front at SMG Lewisville so the speakers blew us away. The air conditioning froze us, but the popcorn is great.
By the way, in regards to opening early, most likely a marketing ploy. Worked out great for us, though, as our free tickets to SMG Lewisville were good through May 1. Woo Hoo!
