Please Don’t Give Me Wrinkles!
Today, my beautiful readers, I need your help. I had a blissful day off with Husbandio yesterday that was everything you can ask for in a day off (as long as your don’t mind coping with excruciating boob pain for most of it.) We had the best breakfast ever, watched a couple of movies, and generally just enjoyed each other’s company.
Why do I need your help, you ask? What could possibly be wrong? Well, it was the movies. The first one, specifically. A number of people had recommended a movie to me because the main character owns a bakery. You guys, here’s a little secret. Just because a character owns her own bakery, does NOT mean that I will enjoy the movie. Allow me to give you my pictorial review of It’s Complicated.
I know it’s not pretty, but that was the look on my face for pretty much the whole movie.

Honestly! Movies all about divorce and adultery make me feel awkward and uncomfortable and making that face gives me wrinkles. NOT COOL. I spent most of the movie feeling sorry for Steve Martin’s character and not even the bakery made up for it. It’s not even the KIND of bakery that I want. So, you see, it was two hours that could have been better spent on my day off.
So here’s your mission, dear readers. I have a week off coming up in January during which I will be pretty much stuck on the couch alone. I find Netflix a little overwhelming because I honestly just haven’t had time to watch a lot of TV/movies in years and I don’t know where to start. Where would you start?
If you had a week of painkillers-and-couch-time to kill, what would be in your queue?
Under The Tuscan Sun. It’s not about bakeries, but many years ago I had the flu…the kind where i was literally in bed for 10 days. I watched this movie and it inspired me to say “fuck it. Imma gonna do what makes ME happy. It may be scary and shitty at first but it will all work out because its MEANT to”
6 months later I quit my job to be a musician.
Also, if you love Joss Whedon, watch Serenity. The original series is Firefly…equally awesome.
That’s a great movie! My mom loves it, too.
I was almost gonna do a Buffathon, but I’m on the fence about it. I can’t tell if I want to do a re-watch, or catch up on new stuff…
One of my faves made in 1946 remains my choice: It’s a wonderful life! and if you have 5 1/2 minutes right now watch the video on the post I reblogged to day!
I can’t watch from work, but I’ll check it out later!
What about Bridesmaids? Funny & it involves a bakery 😉
I’ve seen it! I’m still trying to decide if I’m going to do any re-watches, or watch all new stuff…
Pitch Perfect is HILARIOUS! Seriously, you will want to watch it again and again, and again. It’s sooooo funny. I really like The Holiday, which is perfect because it’s the holidays. Man I’m clever. Um… what kinds of movies are you looking for? Funny, suspense, sports (mainly football actually, I thought Blind Side was REALLY good), horror? If you haven’t seen Pitch Perfect I’d definitely recommend it. (And if you watch it and hate it, I’m sowwie.) But seriously, it’s funny.
I’ve never seen Pitch Perfect, but I’ll totally watch it!!! I loooooved The Blind Side and I’m actually always secretly (actually not secretly at all) surprised by how much I love sports movies.
I love sports movies too! And dance movies!! They make me want to shake what my mama gave me! =] DEFINITELY watch Pitch Perfect. Have you seen The Holiday (the one with Jude Law and Cameron Diaz)? It’s great! Um… surprisingly, I liked Avatar. I didn’t think I would, but I did. Oh! A League of Their Own is really good too! A classic. Because I Said So is pretty cute too. Ohhhhh, okay so don’t laugh but there is a movie called Revenge of the Bridesmaids (or something like that?!), I’m pretty sure it’s a Disney movie but it’s pretty good!!!!! I also liked Burlesque… I have a wide range of favorites, apparently. =]
