What I Learned from the ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ Advance Screening at Universal City

1.  The gentleman behind me is clearly impressed by the way I rock a pair of 3D glasses.

2.  Never wear your non-maternity, tight-fitting jeans to a two-hour movie when you’re almost five months pregnant — because apparently people frown upon you unbuttoning your pants in a children’s theater.  (People can be so uptight.)

3a.    Free popcorn + free soda = automatic glowing review from Candy.  Well-played, PR man.  Well-played, indeed.

3b.  I am not evolved enough to stop chowing down on popcorn even when my stomach begins to ache.   Because, you know, it’s FREE!  MUST EAT!  (Note to self: Bring the Pepto to next movie screening.)

4.  I am, however, still immature enough to try to grab the computer-generated 3D objects flying towards me.

5.  Contrary to what I learned in Intergalactic Relations class in college, playing Axel F on the keyboard is NOT an effective negotiation tactic with world-destroying aliens.

6.  Xenu actually does not have a cameo in this movie.  Sorry, Tom Cruise.

7.  Tyra Banks could definitely have a successful career in movies.
