Losing Bets: Part 2

If you read my previous post, this is the aftermath of everything that occurred.

First off let me tell you that buying a ticket at 2:10 P.M. for a movie like this can make a person feel really stupid. Then there is even more humiliation as you walk to the ticket taker and he shoots a look like at you that kind of says WTF after tearing the ticket. Yeah I felt really lame. Anyways so I figure the worst was over, and that I would be sitting in the theater alone, since this movie is outdated now, and I was thinking who really wants to watch this? Unbeknownst to me, I walk in, 30 minutes late mind you, and discover that there is the most random group of people watching this film.

There are about 15-20 people in there. Let me break this down for you all. In the very back on the other side of the row where I sat is an Asian man sleeping. In front of me is one elderly woman dozing in and out of the movie, while eating popcorn. A few rows in front of her is a group of 3 middle-aged women, who apparently were the only ones laughing. Then a couple of rows from them are 2 Mexican men about 30 something years old, and one child that is about 5-6 years old, sitting in between them. Then there are others scattered throughout the theater just for fun. As I was sitting there I was wondering why some of these people were there, I mean did the scattered folk lose bets too? Naw that's not logical. It is an enigma to me.

I will not bore you with the details of this crappy movie, if you want to read that go click on my link that directs you to the 742 Evergreen Terrace blog. This movie was just crap. The only saving grace.














Yes!! Gerard Depardieu!! Only because he is so handsome and brought us classics such as My Father the Hero and Bogus. Unfortunately this will be one of his last films, as he said he is tired of the industry and is retiring now. I will miss you Gerard, I will miss you.

Losing Bets


So I am cashing in on losing my stupid poker bets to my friends today. We don't play for money, but instead we play for things that will make us feel utterly stupid while the others maintain their dignity and laugh at the loser, i.e. Mac. What is it I have to do? In about 15 minutes from now I will partake in viewing a movie by myself. Not just any movie though, I will have to watch Last Holiday, starring the Queen.

No not this one:











This one:
















This movie also co-stars L.L. Cool J. Damn it why did I have to lose! (Sigh..)
