Deeds and I had a movie date on Sunday night. The only thing out that I really wanted to see was Twilight,again...but I get that no one wants to go with someone who has already seen a movie before. So we opted to see what is to be "Baz's timeless classic," Australia. It was not a classic, and everyone should spend "less time" in attempting to see this movie. IT WAS AWFUL....
These are the 3 things that made me want to walk out of Australia:
1) Nicole Kidman speaking in a baby voice the whole time.
2) The movie being narrated by a 7 year old kid.
3) A women a row ahead of us coughing incessantly.
As an FYI, because of the coughing I wasn't able to fully tear apart the movie to the best of my ability. The final straw that convinced Deeds to leave with me was when the seven year old character began to bust out in musical, mystical song. The second he hit the high note we were out of there. Luckily when we left, we had two options for movies to sneak in to see. The first Twilight, the second The Day the Earth Stood Still. Deeds chose the second. I pouted for a moment. We settled in for our second movie of the night and within 10 minutes we wanted to walk out.
These are the 3 things that made us want to walk out:
1) Keanu Reeves
2) Jennifer Connelly
3) Kathy Bates
In the words of my mother, "we could have made a better movie."
These are the 3 Things that made us ACTUALLY STAY for the movie:
1) Us laughing and finding sheer humor at every scene with Kathy Bates.
2) Waiting and hoping for the scene where the earth gets destroyed. It never came.
3) The absence of something better to do - with a strong sense of Miknis pride, in not wasting $9 dollars.
So if you have to go to the movies in the next couple days don't waste precious moments of your life on these two. See Twilight. Another shameless plug.

This is Deeds. The Day the Earth Stood Still was so incredibly BAD. Kathy Bates was painful. Keanu was so absurd that I felt utterly embarrassed for him. I just don't understand how this movie made the big screen! If you've seen this movie, can you please shed some light on this? And Australia, oh dear lord, don't get me started...
I will go see Twilight with you!!!! Dann wont go with me, and I hate going to the movies alone.
OMG...How the earth stood still or whatever the hell it is called is terrible. I went on a date to see it on IMAX. At least we had something to laugh about.
Jaden Smith: Can't you stop it?
Keanu: I don't know.
Gah. Horrible.
