The attendees were themselves 'social media' types, and were naturally interested in taking part in a campaign that allied with their own interests and professions. That makes sense to me. But there did seem to be a willingness to play along that was unsettling. All the live tweeting was simply excessive, and a new movie theater frankly doesn't seem interesting enough to warrant a blog post.

It becomes less about fun and conversation and more about how the chairs are at the #amcforkandscreen.
