What a Waste of Time

I used to run to video stores to rent movies such as Monsters Inc and movies with little mermaids in it. I also used to talk really loudly to whom ever I was with while checking out the above mentioned movies saying things like, “OH, I’ll bet LITTLE Rachel would LOVE this!”

Why do I that? Because people laugh at me. That’s why.

Well, I watched a grown-up movie today. I watched Basic Instincts 2 and I don’t care if I never watch another grown-up movie ever again. It was

SO.

BAD.

Rotten tomato gave it a 6%. Um, excuse me, who was the guy in the coma that gave it a thumbs up? 6%? How about -6%?

The bottom line is: there is a difference between seeing a woman as sexually powerful and seeing her as a diseased STD, AIDS infested transportation vehicle (just think Paris Hilton). Granted I don’t remember much about Basic Instincts 1 and granted I only saw the TV edited version of the film, but I remember walking away thinking that Sharon Stone was sexy.

Well, no more. And it is not her age; she looks fabulous for her age. It’s that having sex with 50 random people that you meet in a brothel is very, very, gross. Not to mention insanely irresponsible.

I can’t believe I wasted two hours of my free time when I could be watching Nanny McPhee (for the third time).

You know what, I am not going to hide behind my baby cousin anymore. I LIKE Monsters Inc., I LIKE Nanny McPhee, I LIKE the Amazing Panda Adventure, and YES Bambi 2 IS on my blockbuster shipping queue. YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT???

My name is Jean and I have a 6 year-old inner child and by God I LIKE IT!

PS: Nanny McPhee is excellent. Really REALLY excellent. Go rent it; really, you’ll love it even if you don’t have an inner child. I promise.
