Movie stuff.

This weekend I got to see what is sure to be a classic, "Benchwarmers." Probably the stupidest movie ever. But it did have some funny moments. It is "the bully vs. the nerd" kind of thing. If you were a nerd in school, I wouldn't recommend you seeing the movie sober.

I also saw King Kong and I thought it was pretty good despite being too long. The difference inbred between male and females became apparent as I watched it with my sons and one of their friends.

In the final scene where King Kong is about to die and fall off the empire state building and the girl cries, the conversation between us goes like this:

Son 1: "Why do they keep looking and looking at each other! It's stupid!"

Mom: "It's the chick part. It's to show how much they care for each other."

Son's friend: "Oh great! First they give us manlove in "Brokeback Mountain" and now they give us "monkeylove" with King Kong."

Mom: "Ahem.. this has nothing to do with sexuality, it's about love though."

Son2: "oh good, here comes the guy part."

Mom: (eyes filling with tears as King Kong dies) "What's the guy part?"

Son2: (voice filled with anticipation) "When the monkey goes splat."

*sigh*
