21 movie boston sneak preview info!

A little birdy told me that Sony Pictures (or perhaps their promotion team?) is giving out free tickets to see a  “sneak preview” screening of the movie 21 to those groups who helped accommodate the company during its filming in Boston.

The screening will happen tomorrow at noon at the Regal Fenway. Keep your eyes pealed for tickets. This would be a cool thing to go to. Only annoying thing is that it takes place right smack in the middle of the day.

Here is Kevin Spacey on Boston’s very own Bay State Road. Hi, Kevin!

Don’t feel bad if you can’t make your way into the show. The film’s release date is Marsh 28, and there will be an official premier a week or so before that. That’s probably when I’ll be going. Woot.

Ella Ella. Aay Aay Aay. Under my..?

As we speak, it’s getting a bit drizzly and gross. And according to AccuWeather… it’s probably going to snow. That’s fabulous. All we need is more snow after last Friday’s blizzard-like conditions. (Totally ruined my night out.)

So, in honor of our incoming storm, I wanted to give you a bit of a tip in case it does start getting snowy. You know, so you’ll be ready.

Don’t use an umbrella . It’s not OK. Really.

First, because it’s lame. You either look like a really, really big wuss or a tourist from San Diego. All you need to do is rock the fuzzy hood, and you’re fine! Your Northface coat was designed to keep you dry. I mean, if you’re a nice old lady or you’re wearing a $900+ suit, I guess you can bring an umbrella. But aside from that, come on.

I mean, skiers are in the snow all the time. What if you saw a skier holding an umbrella while going down the slope? You’d laugh and think they were silly, right?

So next time there’s a snow storm–no matter how scary it might be–don’t bring your umbrella. I’m just trying to help. Please.

Umbrellas are for rain. Not snow.

The T is a snob. Too cool for the Big Dig.

I don’t know if I like that the T is getting so fancy. The blue line released brand new cars with “intelligible, automated station announcements. A smoother ride with maximum air conditioning,” says Peter J. Howe of the Boston Globe. Sounds like an infomercial to me.

When it gets to be 105 degrees, maximum air conditioning (which is what… a freezer?) might be nice. But I do like the classic conductor announcements. Is automated really more important than maintaining our HERITAGE?

I have yet to *hear* the blue line. But when the green line got it’s automated voice, I thought it sounded awfully funny. And then when “Hynes Convention Center/ICA” lost it’s “ICA,” Mr. Autovoice always sounded so confused.

“Hynes Convention….Center?”

Anyways. Nice work, MBTA. Now all you need to do is reopen the Arlington station so it’s normal again. Next month, right?
