What do you do when you get free tickets to see a movie you really don’t want to see? I was faced with this dilemma today after I won admission for two to an advance screening of Real Steel (it opens in theaters on Friday). The first sentence of the IMBD description told me this was pretty much the opposite of what I like in a movie: “Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport, a struggling promoter feels he’s found a champion in a discarded robot.” But alas, Tim loves movies, and I knew I couldn’t turn down the offer. It’s not every day you win tickets to an advance screening. So off we went to the Fenway theater. Hugh Jackman was a little bit silly, and the movie was maybe a 2 out of 10 on my personal rating scale. And I could’ve done without the two young male lovers sitting in front of me who kissed A LOT. But, I did get to watch robots fighting and dancing, so I guess it wasn’t entirely bad.

haha what an experience! Job likes going out to movies like this a lot more than I do too, I am usually not a huge fan of going out to movies at all unless it is one I really want to see. So I feel ya 😉 But advanced screening! That’s fun! 🙂
