At The Movies
I really, really want to see Watchmen. I’ve been excited about it ever since I saw the preview featuring that kickin’ Smashing Pumpkins song. It looks like a perfect tonic to all the cookie-cutter superhero movies we’ve all had to ingest in the last couple years.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t till it came out last week that I realized it was over 2 1/2 hours long. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be a big deal, as I’m not 80 years old and arthertic. I am pregnant, however, and sitting for that long is just not feasible.
As a consolation, Dan and I went last night to see Fired Up! Yes, I know what you’re thinking - but it was the shortest movie playing locally, clocking in at a mere hour and a half. I wasn’t expecting much; in truth, I just wanted to see some previews and smell some popcorn.
Fired Up! is pretty much what you’d expect from a high school comedy. Cliche story, some attractive guys, some hot girls, and a few pretty decent jokes stuffed in amongst all the juvenile t&a crap. I laughed out loud at least twice, so I guess I got my money’s worth.
Plus, as an added bonus, we listened to The Watchmen soundtrack on the way home.
