I Caved
Well, the break in classes caused me to forget to blog last week. I have no idea how it slipped my mind. So I'll just run through some of the nonsense yal have been missing out on. First, I'll start off with the confession I must make. I know I am the epitome of manliness and all, you don't have to tell me, my three chest hairs are proof enough, but every once in a while even the best of us slip up. So I'll just get right out and say it. I saw The Vow on Valentine's Day. Yeah, it was for a girl so I guess that helps right? I really hope so. Most of my pre-movie time was spent scanning my surroundings for people I might know and should avoid lest they see me shamefully sauntering into the theater. So there I said it. Say what you want. Make jokes. I get it. I will say this, though, and it may hurt my case even more. The movie was really not that bad for a while. Yeah, it wouldn't have been my first choice obviously. I'd rather see a bunch of heads exploding any day over watching two random people I don't know struggle with their love life, but the story was interesting enough to follow along with throughout most of the performance. When I lost interest though is when it got the most "dramatic." I really wasn't that emotionally attached to the film in the first place, and then they tried to make me cry, and as soon as the words "pathetic" crossed my mind. I heard the sniffles from the girl squad sitting 3 seats down. I just can't understand what makes these movies worth crying about. Maybe I'm shallow. Maybe it's just a guy thing. I've just never been so comparatively apathetic. Anyways, now the cats out of the bag. Go ahead and take your stabs. Comments should be easy on this confession.

I really wanted to see that movie! Im sure it would be more interesting to girls.
ReplyDeleteYou have never cried at a movie?? You show me a man that wont cry watching Old Yeller, and I'll show you a man with no soul! Just sayin...that and I might have cried a little bit during the last Indiana Jones flick, but that was for an entirely different reason.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone has seen _The Vow_. Glad to know that some of it was enjoyable anyway before the "dramatic" part :) May try to catch it when it comes out on video.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok that you don't cry at movies, I never have. At least not over a chick flick anyway.
ReplyDeleteLol Tanner I know the exact feeling. I too went and watched the Vow of course it was for my girlfriend but i spent most of my time doing the same as you did. I didn't care to much for the movie but at least my girlfriend was not mad at me so it was a win in my case.
