what the bleep?

so, jen just called to see if i was going somewhere, and mom was there, also.  found out she & jen went to sam's.  made me a little jealous, because mom & i have been talking about going, and she knows how much i want to go but was waiting to go together... and then they go & don't even call me?  so yeah.  anyway, then i told her i was going to see The Green Hornet w/ aunt jan, and mom was welcome to join us - to which mom replied, loudly & w/ venom - "Don't waste your money!  The boys (that she nannies) & I walked out of that one, it was so awful!"


dang!


so then i looked up the other movies offered right now at our theatre, for the time we want to go - black swan (sorry, no desire to see it, even if it is good and about ballet); no strings attached (ummm... i'm sure it's cute & funny  w/ ashton & natalie, but the production title was "F*** Buddies."  no thank you.); country strong (this was a possibility); the dilemma (another possibility); and the king's speech (another possibility).


then i went to plugged in, to get a look into these movies.  now, some of the things they think are "negatives" i really don't have a problem with.  normally i don't care so much about language in movies, other than taking Christ's name as a swear.  so, i'm reading about the 3 movies mentioned as possibilities above, and accidentally found out the end of country strong, which then made me not want to see it.  so, it's between the dilemma & the king's speech.  i'm going to bring those both up to jan & see which one she'd rather.  other than some crude humor, the dilemma looks alright.  and even tho i love colin & i know it's a brilliant movie... 20 f words is kinda making me rethink the king's speech.  again, tho, depending on how/when they're used, that might not bother me... 


i'll keep ya posted.  i would like to know - if you feel like commenting - what, if anything bothers you about movies?  is there anything that would make you not go to a movie that you'd wanted to see?  is there anything that would make you walk out of a movie once there?  demand your money back?  inquiring mind, ppl!  : )
