What I could have done with my 2012 movie money
I was either walking away with a photo or a story about getting my ass kicked by a guy wearing a lamp shade on his head. But, this was a happy ending, for my stealthy, ninja ways kicked in and I was able to snap a few photos before he knew what had happened. He turned around once, but we pulled the old “group tourist photo” trick. Lamp shade guy had no idea…or it’s possible that he just didn’t care.
Only in LA. And to think I documented all of this fodder enroute to the Arclight Theatre where we saw 2012.
As for my review—the movie was campy and ridiculous. Save your money and wait until HBO features it two years from now. There were great actors in it: John Cusak, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Danny Glover, yada yada; but it still isn’t worth it. The writers interjected levity where there should not have been levity; and it was drowning in cheese. The previews were my favorite part.
Here are a few things that I could have purchased with the money I spent on a 2012 movie ticket:
- half of what a PVC French maid outfit would cost (not that I’ve researched it)
- 7 rawhide doggie bones
- 4 bottles of Boones Farm (there’s a fan club by the way)
- bribe to stay out of a Mexican prison
- one hour’s worth of Pai Gow poker (if you know what you’re doing)
- a Man Groomer
- one Wiglet from CVS, two from Walgreen’s
- a Kenny G CD
- an appetizer at the Chicken Ranch
