Today is an epic day. Not just because it is the day that Columbus discovered America (thanks for the day off, dude), but because today, Landen and I saw a good movie.
That does not sound epic. You probably want to stop reading. But you shouldn't, because I should explain: Landen and I do not see good movies. In the past year, I think we've seen every shit movie ever made. We willingly pay money to go and stare slack-jawed at a giant screen and watch stories that do not make any sense and which will win no Oscars. Or to laugh at the terribleness. Part of it, I think, has to do with our film selection process.
Here's an example of our normal pre-movies conversation:
I should note that this normally takes place when one or both of us are in our pajamas, with computers in our laps and Vampire Diaries playing in the background.
Landen: So, (insert name of sexy-hot actor here) is in this movie (insert really pretentious movie title here), and it's playing in like, five minutes.
Me: What's it about?
Landen: I dunno.
Me: ...I'll put the rum in my purse, you put some ice cream in a tupperware, we'll only miss the first couple previews!
So, yeah. That's probably part of the problem.
But today, we actually saw a movie we've been planning on seeing since we first saw the previews at a showing of some crap movie about a bike messenger involved in some kind of Asian kidnapping ring. (It had Joseph Gordon-Levitt.)
And that movie was Pitch Perfect. It was, by the way, pretty damn perfect.
But that's not the whole point here. Okay, the point is that yes, we broke the movie curse. From now on, we can surely surge forward in our cinematic adventures without fear of needing to finish the rum in order to not demand a refund by the time the lights come up. But I think the real point is this: Rebel Wilson and I are meant to be best friends.
Seriously. If we teamed up, I bet we could take over the world. Bitch can sing, which I cannot, so you know, we even each other out there. Neither of us can dance, but I took ballet once upon a time, and I speak French, so we could put something together there. She's from Australia, so there's some exotic elements there, but the deal maker here is that she's funny as shit. Every time she opens her mouth, not like, 20/80, which is more my ratio. I'd be the serious one, which is okay, because I'd be gunning for the title of President, and she'd only be the VP, which we all know is just a title given to the hardest partier in the nation.
You guys would vote for us, right?
Whatever, so point being, Landen and I saw a movie, it was awesome, and I have a new BFF. And a new catch phrase, which, incidentally, is the title of this blog.
Happy Columbus Day!
