Family Movie Night Review

Every Wednesday*, we have Family Movie Night at Casa de la Crazy. My husband, the boy, the girl, the baby girl and my mother in law and myself all settle in to watch a movie. Tonight we had Fluffy and the baby join us. We have popcorn, soda (ooh! pop after 7pm - shame shame - wtf) and even candy. The kids totally get into the idea of movie night and get so excited. They almost lost their minds when I told them on Monday what we would be watching. As an aside, yes I told them on Monday because then I can use it as a bribing bargaining tool. We were going to watch Wall-E ::cover your ears please:: The excitement!! The screeches!!! The YAYS!!! I LOVE WALL-E!!! Can we watch it now? Now?? NOW?!?!?! PLEASE? I LOVE WALL-E! He's so cute! ::ahem:: Right then, so.....
I would like to say the movie was a hit with my kids but I wouldn't know if that was the truth or not. My children fell asleep during the movie. The boy was out about 30 minutes in. The girl was distracted by her dollies about 20 minutes in and had a theatre production of some drama playing out. They were in the starring roles. It was very, very dramatic. Trust me.

The adults liked the movie. I thought Wall-E was cute though the friendship with the roach took some getting used to. It's a roach people! ::shiver:: Eve was so stinking cute. The CGI people did a great job with the emotion in her eyes. Wall-E's too. My favorite robot was M-O, the neurotic, OCD, apparent germaphobe that kept cleaning. He was killing me. The adults taking their first steps had Fluffy and I cracking up. It was like a giant, chubby baby trying to walk. Hilarious.

I like that the ending wasn't all "everything was perfect and they landed on a green Earth". I like that they were excited about building it all from the ground up. The thrill they got in learning about planting things. Though baby girl thought is was too funny that they were planning on growing pizza plants. She agreed that it would be cool if we could do it.

I would recommend this movie to your family. I might even get the husband to order it (he's the one addicted to the movie club he's in). Maybe then we would get a break from all the Barbie movies we're forced privileged to watch all day, everyday.

What movie should we watch next week? What movies are the favorites in your house?

*I don't know what we're going to do when I go back to working 230-10 on Wednesdays. We'll have to have movie night on that Friday I suppose. The kids won't know, they can't even grasp the concept of "Saturday is THREE days away! No! For the 42nd time, it's not tomorrow, it's three days from now. Gah, never mind. Yes, it's tomorrow."
**And I can't spell for crap today, according the spellcheck. It busted me on 9 words. It doesn't have a substitute for germaphobe and I'm too lazy to look it up so I'm gonna roll with it like that.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who ...
