On Saturday, my cousin asked me if I wanted to go to a movie. Of course I wanted to go to a movie. I love going to movies, so I went. I had seen a quick preview of "Our Family Wedding", but I hadn't made in plans to go see it. You know how you see previews and think, "Man, I can't wait to see that"? Well, this was not one of those times, but like I said, I love movies.
My cousin and I got our snacks and our seats and the movie began. Within the first ten, or maybe five minutes of the movie, I knew that I wasn't going to like it. The acting was immediately painful and the plot didn't seem to make any attempts to carry the movie. 30 minutes later my cousin asked me if I wanted to leave. Maybe it was me being an optimist or maybe it was me being naive, but I couldn't help but think that the movie would turn around. Clearly, I was mistaken. Always trust your instincts.
It's true what they say, you can't make up lost time. I wasted almost two hours of my life on Saturday. I looked at my cousin in the middle of the movie and said, "I don't love you anymore." Yeah, the movie was that bad. I also told her that if this was a first date, I would have refused to see her again after this movie because she picked it and it spoke volumes about her character and judgment. Of course I realized that taking back my love for her and "breaking up" with her was harsh, so I just told her that she was no longer allowed to pick movies for us anymore.
I hope that I have spared you guys the pain that my cousin and I had to endure, by saving you from seeing that movie. The crazy thing is that there were people in there who were really laughing. Amber, my cousin, was looking around the theater and asked me, "Are they watching the same movie we're watching?" I said, "Apparently not."
take it as further proof that the world clearly doesn't have enough talented writers and actors. we need u.
