he thought it was MOTIVATING?!?
see, these are the kinds of things that until weeks ago, when i became an appreciating-difference kinda person, woulda given me heart palpitations. even in somebody else’s partner.
but now i appreciate difference in couples. yessiree. though i can see why you sleep through movies with him! 😉
(and i really want to see Money Never Sleeps)
I love how men can’t handle being off…like my husband whines by 10 am because he’s already tired. Pft.
I havent seen both of those movies but kinda want to now 😉
Well, it ties in nicely with his goal of becoming an asshole, no? I have zero desire to see Money Never Sleeps, and I never fall asleep during movies — I sometimes start reading, though. Unless I’m in the theatre, then my giant bag of popcorn is enough of a diversion. I did once fall asleep in the theatre with Angus watching Curious George, but that’s because my husband was away and I was pregnant and hadn’t slept in four nights.
So your husband aspired to live in a badly decorated loft, put a lot of gel in his hair and have sexual intercourse with Darryl Hannah? Sorry, that’s pretty much all I remember about Wall Street. I shouldn’t judge since my husband’s favourite movie of all time is Pufnstuf.
Like Bibliomama I have ZERO interest in seeing this movie. But I do want to see The Inside Job which is a documentary about the same topic.
We watched the original Wall Street a couple of weeks ago, and I found it so dull that I read through most of it and have no idea what happened. I read through movies a lot as well.
Is Money Never Sleeps a documentary about the 2008 financial market, or is it a sequel to Wall Street?(That ought to show what a big movie fan I am. I’ve never even heard of it.)
Allison, it does tie in nicely, doesn’t it!
Nan, I’ve never heard of PufnStuf before. Intriguing!
Mrs Mayhem, it’s a sequel – although the original came out in 1987. Better late than never?
I used to call Michael Douglas part of the Hollywood trio of ultimate grossness, along with Alec Baldwin and Richard Gere, honorary member Tom Cruise (he was the D’artagon). But now I find I’m completely converted to Alec by 30 Rock, Michael seems like a nice enough guy to his high-demand wife, and Richard…is still an ass, but with a great head of hair.
Still hate Tom. But three out of four no longer seem so repulsive, which means my standards have WAY lowered. I blame the stretch marks.
