Movies I’m Embarrassed I Paid Money to See

-American Outlaws
-Original Sin
-Josie and the Pussycats
-Dude, Where’s My Car?
-The Princess Diaries
-Jurassic Park III

And that’s just in the last few months. Take this as evidence of my bad taste, or simply the lack of even decent movies this year, whichever you prefer.

    Hey, we went to a free screening of “Waterworld,” the film broke halfway through, and I insisted we PAY MONEY to see the second half of the film because if I have devoted an hour and a half of my life to something I am unable to live without knowing HOW IT FUCKING ENDS.

    My husband struggled at first, but eventually succumbed. (Ha.)

    My friend Paul does a wickedly funny 5-minute runthrough of ‘Waterworld,’ which I still haven’t seen.

    “Don’t touch my daughter! She can’t swim!”

    She can’t swim? SHE LIVES IN WATERWORLD.

    OMG… I am laughing so hard I can hardly type….hahaha.

    …oh and I really can’t imagine you paying money to see Dude, Where’s My Car. How do you rationalize these decisions to yourself? I think we need to get you into a good 12-step program.

    The “Dude” thing was actually more of a dare. My friend Paul (of Waterworld fame) and I can never agree on a movie to rent, so he looked at the poster on the video store wall and said, sort of as a joke, “I’d see that.”

    So wanting to call him on it, we rented it. It was bad, but not so bad I was bleeding from my eyes or anything.

    Never mind “Dude,” I want to hear the “Princess Diaries” story.

  7. Adam

    Moira, you can read about it here. I obviously leave no pop culture experience unblogged.

    Could have been worse. It could have been Legally Blonde. Although Princess Diaries isn’t really much of a step up.

  9. Adam

    OK, you broke me, I saw “Legally Blonde” too. I have no shame left. I didn’t put it on the list because it was actually not that bad. Which I guess is another embarrassing admission, huh?

  10. Xkot

    Which is worse: you saw it, or I haven’t and *want* to see it?

    Oh, God, that was funny. Suffocated by Snuggles. I may steal that.
