Scrolling through my options.....I was looking for that new George Clooney one, we definitely wanted to see "The Descendants." Nope, checked out. That's okay. I'll just get "The Ides of March" he's in that one, and so is Gosling. Win win. It has to be good, right?
Then my second choice. "The Help". Nope, that would definitely be too vagina of me. How about...."Young Adult" with Charlize Theron. He's always saying how the movie Monster just ruined her for him, and he couldn't even look at her the same anymore. Maybe THIS would change his mind. It looked funny.
Then I remembered we also had an unwatched copy of "Friends With Benefits" with JT and that girl with the alien eyes from That Seventies Show. We just couldn't go wrong. Today was going to be the perfect movie day. The best one ever.
When I came home and announced my choices, he did not seem pleased. He was not optimistic about my pickings. Oh well, I would prove him wrong.
The Ides of March was like trying to sit through a documentary about a bleeding heart Hollywood liberal who is so up to snuff with all the issues, that he has to make a movie. About himself. Running for President. Suckfest. Ryan Gosling, I loved you in The Notebook - but even you couldn't save this sack of movie S&%$. Click. Off. I think we made it 20 minutes in.
Sigh....I miss the old Ryan.
Watching Young Adult was kind of like a car wreck. It was that bad, we couldn't look away. We just kept watching. And boy should we not have ever. What a waste of 2 hours. Charlize Theron still disgusts Chris, in every way possible. Probably more so than ever before. He can thank me for that, and my stellar rental choices.
Warning, this movie sucks. Butt.
Ah yes, then there is the third and final straw. Friends With Benefits. I will just say this. If I wanted to see horrible acting, and endless dry humping with only side and back nudity - I would turn on Cinemax after 11pm. We shut that off after an hour of waiting for something to surprise us. What an original plot!
"Listen here! The only people who will enjoy this movie are either super high, or 14 year old boys - but you will rent it anyway, and I will get paid. Then I will star in another stupid movie. That you will pay to see, because you forgot about this one, and just how bad it was."
Maybe if we had started drinking a little earlier, it would have been more bearable. No, probably still NOT.
