Chick Flick
David and Kathleen are squeezed together in the recliner, watching Disney's "Princess Protection Program." I asked David if it is any good. "It's a chick flick" he says, "of course it's good!"
That kid cracks me up!
Speaking of chick-flicks, I saw the opposite of a chick flick last night. "The Hangover." It was Paul's birthday and I figured he would like to see a man-movie. What better qualifies as a man-movie than a movie about
a) Las Vegas
b) Bachelor Party
c) Somebody marries a prostitute
d) a cameo by Mike Tyson
e) the entire premise of the movie is based on the after-effects of a night of debauchery.
I think he liked it.
In reality, (i.e., the other 364 days a year), Paul lets me select the movies. The result is that we see nothing but art films and chick flicks, and I like it that way. Secretly I'm pretty sure he does too.
As a special treat, we went to the new AMC theatre in the Power & Light District. For a $10 ticket, you get a movie with waitresses, a full menu, alcoholic beverages, a leather recliner and a larger screen. It was divine! Of course, they require you to purchase a $10 food voucher, so the experience really costs $20 per person. But we realized that you could easily have dinner with your $10 voucher, so the dinner/movie experience can be done for about $20 per person. OK, realistically you'd probably spend a little more than $10 each for dinner, but it's still a pretty good deal. Highly recommended, except for the fact that they always show the worst movies in the VIP room.
One more funny note -- we passed a parking lot that charged $10 and parked right in front of the theatre for free. Hahahahahaha! You gotta love that.

Dave and I saw "The Hangover".
Funny shit, man. We were wondering how they got some of that stuff at the end past the censors.
I am almost embarrassed to admit how much I loved "The Hangover." Almost.
Hmmm, this 'The Hangover' film sounds a bit too highbrow for me.....
