Karin is gone overnight, playing night soccer and sleeping over at a friend’s house. Anders was watching a documentary about a Dutch photographer, so Martin and I decided to watch a movie…but we couldn’t decide what to watch. Everything I suggested he turned up his nose at and vice versa. Then we agreed on The Artist<\/i>, but after a lengthy search, we couldn’t FIND it. AUGH. Where is my copy of The Artist??<\/i> Did I loan it out to someone? No. It’s gotta be here somewhere. <\/p>\n
I tried again to get him to watch The Fall<\/i>, which is one of my favorites and which I haven’t seen in ages, but Martin refused on the basis of not having a crush on Lee Pace like I do. I tried to get him to watch Sherlock<\/i> (the one with Benedict Cumberbatch), but he keeps saying he doesn’t want to. <\/p>\n
STALEMATE.<\/p>\n
Then I remembered that we still hadn’t seen Pan’s Labyrinth<\/i>, a movie I had heard fantastic things about, but also that it’s pretty scary, so it’s been sitting on the shelf for years, still in plastic. So that’s what we decided on.<\/p>\n
Except after 15 minutes of a promisingly fantastical start, a main character brutally smashes in the face of a young man with a broken bottle in graphic detail and Martin and I turned to each other with horrified expressions on our faces and scrambled for the remote to turn it off. EGADS.<\/p>\n
We ended up watching High School Musical 2<\/i> just to give ourselves a total brain scrub.<\/p>\n
Don’t judge. You would have done the same thing, I swear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
