Go figure

I'm a movie lover - not any specific type, I just love going to the movies. I married a man who sees no sense in it. He doesn't understand how a person would pay to go sit in uncomfortable seats, pay a fortune for snacks and not even be able to pause the show when nature calls. So, I usually end up going with one of the kids - or waiting until it comes on video, because that's the only way I can get Vaughn to watch it.
Until the other day....The preview for "Jackass Number Two", comes on tv. He cracks up laughing, looks at me and says, "Oh honey, we've got to go see that".

Amazing - all of the Oscar-worthy movies step aside....Johnny Knoxville, Party Boy, Steve-O, and Bam Margera are calling....where did I find this man of mine?

There is simply no explaining men and entertainment. My husband is an intelligent man with a masters degree in science and like to watch COPS, for pete's sake! I don't get it.

I know! Every time I hear that "Bad Boys" theme, I just walk away. *sigh*

Something about being in the dark with the general public doesn't enthuse me. I'd rather watch movies on my DVD player with surround sound, that way if someone's kicking my chair, it'll be my wife, who will interrupt my snoring. Why? Because most Hollywood movies lack originality.

Darlene said...

hahaha wow - that must be a stereotypical man's impression of the movies...I do agree that the chairs could be a bit more comfy, but I always tend to sit in the back, so I can be the kicker and not the kickee.

Er, um...
I sort of, kind of, thought the Jackass thing looked kind of... funny. But then I went to see Basic Instinct 2 and actually enjoyed myself.

Okay, I admit. I have to see this one.

Darlene said...

okay, okay, I admit it - I want to see it too. I actually had a bit of a crush on Johnny Knoxville when I started watching the first movie, but then I started watching the show & saw him getting covered in poop on one of the episodes & that kind of made me throw up a bit.

Happy Friday!!!

So, if anyone makes it to the movie, let me know. I saw the 1st one. I was so sick with bronchitis I couldn't breathe-- thought I was going to cough myself to death laughing... ow painful, yet amusing.

I'm with Vaughn on the movie thing. I cannot sit still long enough. A movie theatre outing is a painful event for me.
Hey, did you get the vehicle? Call me today!

Schell said...

Cannot do jackass, just not my thing, getting covered in poo and paper cuts, nope not for me. We have a hard time with movies. Hard to sit still long enough, but I gotta go once in awhile for the popcorn. Darlene, fill me in on the scrapbook party. I'm curious.

JA2?! Oh dear, I gagged two different times when I watched the first JA movie. I kid you not! To be honest, there were times I really laughed and enjoyed it too. Heck, I'm just glad that they make my relatives seem normal...that's no small feat, let me tell yah! I'll be watching JA2 on dvd when it comes out...I just don't want to run the risk of hurling in my popcorn.

I'm with you on the whole movie theatre experience. Just before the Oscars, I run around with a good friend and we see as many nominated films as possible. Luckily last year I had already watch most of them.

Hey! You got rid of the bubbles! Your blog looks good.
Thank you for the icecream! You are such a good friend. Even though you buy me 42 percent fat icecream. Why did I even look? I was going to eat it regardless. You're so good to me.
You must tell Michelle about the scrapbook party, too. She'll spend like $5,000.00 lol. And Michelle is pretty good to me, too. I'm pretty lucky to have you two.
And you guys are sooo friggin lucky to have me. Don't forget it.
And let's talk about ADD..

I can't do Jackass. My hubby can't either. Except for any scene where they hit someone in the balls. Because he finds any scene in any movie where someone gets hit in the balls the HEIGHT of comedy.

Darlene said...

I got rid of the bubbles?? wtf??? I didn't mean to get rid of the bubbles - The Blog Police took them away.

librarian: I know what you mean - every time my husband sees a man getting kicked in the balls he makes that "hissing/sucking in of breath" noise and bursts out laughing. I see no humor in crotch kicking.

where in the hell did my bubbles go?

Kare said...

Your bubbles are back!
Maybe Chris Angel stopped by. Weird shit happens when he's around.

It is amazing what moves a man to action. Like Nascar. Who wants to go sit in uncomfortable seat around beer drinking sweaty smelly guys to watch cars going in left turn circles to no end. the skill it must take.

I might have had a crush on Steve-O, but I'm admitting to it.

If anyone knows him, have him call me.
