Chick Flick by Default

Ryan and I both really like to go to the movies, but we hardly ever go. Why? Well, because we can never ever agree on a movie. He wants to see movies like Star Wars, X-men and Mission Impossible, whereas I want to see stuff more like The Break-Up and My Best Friend's Wedding. So, instead of coming to agreement on something (God Forbid!), we usually scratch the movie idea all together and just go out to dinner instead. Of course, the rare occassion surfaces where we want to see the same movie (gasp!), such as Ocean's Eleven, The Da Vinci Code or anything with Edward Norton.

Well yesterday, after spending hours at the mall, we decided to head straight to the $1 movie theatre without knowing what was playing when. Yes, we have a $1 movie theatre, and let me tell you -- it is awesome. The movies are a little old, but who cares. And it's ONE DOLLAR!! You can't get anything for a dollar anymore. You can't even buy a soda out of a machine for a dollar anymore!

It was 4:30pm when we arrived and the only movie playing at 5:00pm was Failure to Launch with none other than my favorite leading man, Mr. Matthew McConaughey himself. Ryan was hoping that V for Vendetta was playing, which is why he wanted to go in the first place, but it wasn't playing until 7:00pm. So, by default, Ryan and I saw a chick flick together for the first time ever. It was wonderful!

Of course when the chick movie was over, Ryan made us go see V for Vendetta right away. But nonetheless, I still got Ryan to see a chick flick with me, even if it was by default....
