There is a life-size Silver Surfer surfing out of a poster right in the middle of the movie theater lobby. He is very shiny. It's one of those times I wish I carried a camera, becuase I though, "man I would like a picture of that." It's no giant inflatable Spider-Man, but it was very shiny. And when a movie theater puts a giant shiny thing right in the middle of where everyone want to walk what do they do? They put a "DON'T TOUCH" sign on it. In law school, we call that entrapment. Or an atractive niusance. Or something.

When we were leaving the theater, some promoter was giving out Transformers stickers and poster and then asking people if he could photograph them with their new swag. When someone wants to take your picture holding a sticker of a robot, you really only have one choice. I put on my "this is the most serious shit in the world" face. It looked something like this:



Only, you know, with a sticker. I threw it away. It's not like I'm going to see either of those movies.
