Phraseology and Movieology
I went home for lunch today and watched Ghosthunters on the Sci-Fi channel. There is a marathon on today, for anyone who cares. The gist of the show is two guys that work for Roto-Rooter are also Ghosthunters and try to prove or disprove if houses are haunted or not. Today, one of them told a woman she "needed to be aware of her phraseology".
I thought that was the best thing ever in a million years.
I've been informed that there are too many movies I haven't seen that I *need* to see. People's heads are in danger of exploding. I think I'm going to make a list and then watch them all one by one. It'll be like 50 Books only with no reading. I'm just tired of that look people get on their faces when I say stuff like "Oh, I've never seen Nightmare Before Christmas."
Liz inspired me to make a list of movies that everyone else liked that I hated. Yay, Liz! So we'll begin and then Liz won't be all alone with people going "What? WHY?!" Please note: Some of these I've lied about liking for years just so people wouldn't stone me.
1. Steel Magnolias - You lost me at "Pink is mah signatuh culah" And then when there was death and crying? Yeah I didn't like that either. (but I did like Dolly. Dolly owns.)
2. Pretty Woman - If it's on, I watch it, because if you have a vagina I think you are required to view this everytime TBS shows it. But I don't like it, and I can only suspend my disbelief for so long, people. It's NOT a fairy tale. Cinderella wasn't sucking dick in the backseat of the carriage for $50.
3. Dirty Dancing - Please don't kick me out of the girl club. I'm sorry. The shame is deep.
4. Gladiator - I have never liked Russell Crowe and only saw this because someone paid my way. I almost got kicked out in the street at bible study in Reno one night when I said I didn't like it.
5. My Own Private Idaho - I hated this movie that I almost couldn't make it through it, and this was back when I loved artsy films. God I hated this movie.
6. Se7en - What's in the box? What's in the boooooox? I do that every Christmas when I shake presents. Other than that one line, this movie is useless to me.
7. So I Married An Axe Murderer - I'm sorry, I just didn't think it was that funny. I wanted to! I love Mike Myers!
8. Something About Mary - Maybe because I watched this for the first time with my Father-in-Law... but this movie fills me with a sense of dread and shame. I tried to watch it again. Still hate it.

Cookie, I only just watched Nightmare Before Xmas in the last year! And, yeah, Tim Burton is always fun, and maybe I was just too sleepy at the time, but I think I was just too late to the party.
And I still haven't seen Gladiator.
