But this weekend I had a fit of guilty pleasures and ended up getting Cafe Rio as takeout and eating it at home while I watched a cheap RedBox flick (which has turned out to not be so cheap since I still haven't returned it. ___ RedBox. Insert your own expletive or curse as you so choose for the ____. I swear by blanks.). Are you dying to know what movie I chose to entertain myself with this weekend? Was it intellectually stimulating? Since my opening talks about teeny-bopper hits and dinosaur cartoons from however many years ago a good guess is probably, uh, "no."
I don't know why I publish these things to the world but I'm going to tell you anyway. 17 Again. I hope you can read that because I won't say it again. More embarrassing though was how much I loved it. I pride myself on enjoying the aforementioned intellectually stimulating entertainment options. Give me 1984 over Twilight and Blood Diamond over Trendy-Predictable-Chick-Romance-Crap. But sometimes I enjoy a good vampire drama, every once in awhile Notting Hill makes me cry, and occasionally I like Zac Efron movies. I purposefully did not look up how to spell his name. I hope I wrote it wrong. Because the most embarrassing part of all of this is the sad cougar-crush I have developed on this barely-graduated teenage icon. Ugh.
I was going to include a picture of him with his shirt half-off but it felt a little like child porn.
how did I not see this before? Now I understand why High School Musical is so popular. The Land Before Time rocks!
ReplyDeleteThe idea was that there are far too many Land Before Times... Oh Russell.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing my bum off. That's all. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that all the young ones have to look so good? I'm not even that old and I felt like a pedophile because I admitted that Jacob had nice abs in New Moon (although I did feel a little better when I saw the fifty-something-year-old swooning next to me- at least I'm not as creepy as her). All I'm saying is, I need a support group...
ReplyDeleteI'll come to it with you. Apparently I could use it as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah... Zac Efron... I understand, that's why I don't watch his movies anymore. haha. Although, if you watch High School Musical it CAN solve the problem. I have it, unfortunately. I apparently misunderstood that Jen actually HATED the movie when I thought she said she liked it, so I just bought it without ever having seen it.
ReplyDeleteI also have an embarrassing appreciation for Zac Efron's face and that is why I watched that movie (17 Again, not super retarded hell-film, HSM). I was a little high on pain killers so I don't remember the movie but his was attractive. Sadly, sadly attractive. I know what you mean about hating to dip below the intellectually high brow stand you have set for yourself. I do it far too often. SHAME!
ReplyDelete"I swear by blanks." LOL. I think that's my favorite part. And now I might have to go rent 17 Again sometime!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you and I should watch it, Nik. Your husband will make fun of me.
