So I was going to update today with the story of the red eye I took home last night, but my trip got canceled, so that's not going to happen. Instead I will provide you with more movie reviews that have little to do with the actual movie.
Most of my reviews are really just my opinions on how hot the male leads are, but this weekend Nemo and I saw The Incredibles, and I don't find Pixar animation attractive in that way. (Pixar, I like you- I just don't LIKE YOU like you. You know what I'm saying...)
The movie was good except for one part. And that part was the large woman sitting next to me EATING CHICKEN WINGS. And answering her cell phone. Seriously, imagine sitting in the theater and looking to your immediate left to see a woman with a greasy chicken wing in one hand and a phone in the other. She answered and said to the caller, "What's up? I'm at the movies....eating some chicken, you know." I know some people shun the "no outside food" rule, but I think if you break that rule, it's common courtesy to not choose a food that 1) has a distinct smell, and 2) will force the people around you to listen to you gnaw meat off bones. And of course, you absolutely can not answer a cell phone in a movie theater. And certainly not just to let someone know that you're eating chicken.
It's not that I wanted to listen in on her call, but it was an otherwise quiet theater and she was the only one talking. And she continued to talk to no one in particular after her call ended. Every time a character did something interesting, she would yell "DANG" and then repeat what was happening. So in case I was not paying attention I would have had the running commentary..."Dang! He got fat. Dang! He can't even fit in that ship! Dang! Oh, now he's in it...."
So I totally recommend you see The Incredibles. But not at the theater next to the chicken place.
As far as movie rentals go, Boyfriend an I just got around to using Netflix, only years after the rest of you I'm sure...There has been frantic queue building going on, and presumably we won't have to wander around the video store while I complain about every single movie he suggests.
I did start the account though, and the first movie I watched was the documentary "Supersize Me." Actually, I didn't finish watching it, because I put it in while I was working out, and I only worked out for an hour. And I will not watch the rest of it until I'm working out again, because it makes me feel like I'm not in good enough shape, and if I watched it while sitting on the couch eating chicken wings (which you can totally do IN YOUR HOUSE) I would feel lazy and gross.
Last night Boyfriend and I watched High Fidelity, because I had read the book, but not seen the movie. And he was reading the book, and had already seen the movie. So I guess that really mostly worked out for me. In the spirit of my regular review style, I will point out that John Cusack is usually hot, but had slightly long hair in this movie, which is not for boys. Ever. Also, I had a migraine and had just been given a big pain relieving shot followed by four tranquilizers during the film. So the movie was awesome. And the couch was awesome. And my glass of water was awesome. And since Boyfriend was sweet enough to run out and pick up all of the massive pills I had to take, he was the most awesome.
Though I do think he used the period of time where I was unable to do much besides giggle and mumble about how high I was to fill the queue with sci-fi movies. So my next review may be bitter- hot guys don't usually star in sci-fi, right? |
