See Rob's blog for a brief discussion on tonight's adventures in commuting. Otherwise, read on for some fascinating pointless drivel.
We were discussing movies tonight. Specifically, the conversation started when Rob very dramatically, as he is wont to do, proclaimed, "if you like it, then you had better put a ring on it." My daughter, who is 8, asked Rob why he said it "so officially". Rob explained that in the 60s, Peter Sellers had recited an entire Beatles album, dramatically. I would daresay melodramatically, even, based on Rob's description.
After that, Rob explained that Peter Sellers was in the original Pink Panther movies. Both of my kids have seen the remake of the Pink Panther with Steve Martin. Naturally, the topic turned to Steve Martin.
My comic genius of a husband has never seen The Jerk or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I can hardly believe it. This is the man that introduced me to such fine classics as Zoolander and Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. How could he not have seen The Jerk? It is now my mission to rectify that as soon as possible.
However, this is our weekend with the kids. Since The Jerk isn't really family-friendly, I think our viewing will have to wait until at least Monday night.
Two movies we both want to see are the new Kevin Smith movie with Bruce Willis and Hot Tub Time Machine. I'm looking forward to Hot Tub Time Machine. It has John Cusack, Crispin Glover, and Chevy Chase. What could be better than that?
I think the poor kids were so lost with our conversation.
I'll leave you all with the following fascinating quote from The Jerk:
"I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days."
Exciting, isn't it?

Cop Out! We should definitely take the kids to see Cop Out. It shouldn't be too bad, just an R rated buddy cop movie staring Bruce Willis that was directed by Kevin Smith. It'll be fun. We can watch Chasing Amy and Zach and Miri Make a Porno too. Good clean family fun. hehe
