Tonight, I went to see Cinematic Titanic<\/a> live, to watch them riff on the terrible ’70s kung-fu “action” movie, East Meets Watts<\/a>. It was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

Aside from the ridiculously mismanaged and obtrusive security at New York City’s Best Buy Theater, that is. Lining people up in two different places was one thing. I get it: you don’t want (or are not allowed) to block that part of the sidewalk, so you have to split the line in two. And hey, even asking me<\/i> to tell people where the other half of the line started, since I was at the end of the first half and you didn’t have enough people to, you know, do your job yourself…yeah, even that was fine. I mean, I wasn’t going to get into an argument about it when a bunch of people came over and moved the cordon out of the way and decided to wait behind me anyway, but sure, before that, if anyone asked, I’d tell them the back of the line was around the corner. But searching our bags? Patting us down? I’ve seen less obtrusive security at TSA checkpoints.<\/p>\n

Oh well. The show itself was a lot of fun, so there’s that.<\/p>\n
