Anyways, so we get to the theater, get our tickets, popcorn and large cherry Pepsi's, then find our theater. It was completely empty! Which is cool, and a bit scary too. Mom and I always check the emergency exits. Can't be too careful in this crazy world. Before the movie began a gentleman came in, which was a bit comforting, and still a little nerve wracking.
Now for my opinion of the movie. NOTE: MAY CONTAIN PLOT SPOILERS
The movie was decent, in my opinion a mix of Oceans Eleven, Abduction and Now You See Me. Liam Hemsworth was hot! But he isn't just a hot, young Hollywood actor, he can act. All I have to say is that if Miley Cyrus loses him she is crazy. With that body and those eyes?! I'd marry him in a heartbeat. Plus he's Thor's brother! I mean how much better can you get?
So I did enjoy the movie for more than eye candy. The story was decent, could've been better, but it wasn't the worst thing ever. Though it did make me more paranoid about all my technology. The main plot is these two major technology guys competing against each other, and they use each other's weaknesses to try to get back at each other. Using Liam's character as a pawn between them. The part that made me nervous was how easy it was to follow, track and find everyone because of their digital footprint. Everyone is always talking about leaving a carbon footprint on the environment, but what about the digital footprint we leave behind us in the virtual world?
With concerns of the NSA keeping track of our conversations via text messages, phone calls and emails, it's enough to make me start questioning how easy I'm making my digital footprint to follow. Not that I have anything to hide, but I do believe in personal privacy. If I wanna search crazy things on Google for the fun of it, that's my right. If I wanna post a crazy picture of myself to Facebook, it's my right not to have it shared publicly with the world.
I'm not say to go crazy about your technology and that you're being watched by the government, but I am saying to be aware that it is possible. Also here are a few tips. Turn off your location services on apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, even just for your camera. Even if the picture doesn't give away location data visibly, it's possible to get location data from the picture's properties. Also apps that are public like Facebook and Twitter, make it possible for people to track you, which makes stalking a real threat. These apps can collect data about you, making it easy for someone else to obtain this data and that is a threat to your safety.
I feel like I've been a real bore, but be prepared! It is possible to make it difficult for someone to victimize you. Pass on these tips to friends and family.

P.S. At the end of the movie when the credits started to roll I had a major fangirl moment. It wasn't until the end of the movie that I realize that Liam's best friend in the movie was played by my favorite cowboy, Lucas Till! He looked so familiar, but the glasses and long hair made it difficult to recognize him until I saw his name. He's still so cute! Major fangirl moment! <3 p="">

UPDATE: Thank you, daddy for texting my at 3:45 to tell me that even if the NSA isn't watching me, you always are. Also thanks for finding my typos. I love you! :)
