You Must Be An Idiot

The odds that this conversation actually took place in the last two weeks are both highly likely and deeply depressing. 

Person A

Hey, So what movie do you want to see?

Person B

I'm not sure, what's playing?

Person A

Ed Harris made a film with Viggo Mortenson called "Appaloosa" that looks good.

Person B

"Appaloosa"? Sounds like a loosa. Next. 

Person A

We could see Rock'n'Rolla, the new Guy Richie film. Gerard Butler is in it and it really looks like Richie is back on his game. 

Person B

Isn't that Madonna's Wife? Pass. 

Person A

How 'bout "Burn After Reading"?

Person B

How 'bout "Burns When I'm Peeing"? If i have to sit through another 3 hour Coen brothers film then thats what will happen.

Person A

Bill Maher's Documentary "Religulous", he goes around the world and interviews people of different faiths and exposes the irrationality of the religious?

Person B

Sounds retardiculous, at least I won't have to put up with his bullshit in Heaven. Alu Akbar!

Person A

Woody Allen has "Vicky Christina Barcelona" with Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz who is supposed to be amazing in this or we could see her other film "Elegy" where she falls for Sir Ben Kingsley, also great reviews.

Person B

No to the first one because I'm sick of watching old ass Allen molest the young Scarlett with his lens. And No to the second one for, pretty much, the same reasons. But I'm not against older men being with young women.

Person A

"Blindness"?

Person B

Perfect title, I wouldn't want to see it anyway.

Person A

"The Duchess"?

Person B

Keira Knightley in a corset, how Novel. 

Person A

"Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist?

Person B

 Maybe I'll buy the soundtrack.

Person A

........

Person B

Look at that. I'll watch that. I don't even need to know what that's about. That's perfect. That is what i want to see. Everything else pails in comparison to that. 

We have to see that. 

Person A

See what?

#1 At the box office for 2 weeks. 

During the worst financial crisis in America since the Depression millions of people lined up and paid $12 not including popcorn and pop to see this. 

Well, do we then not deserve to be exactly where we are?

 Hmm?
