The Lucky One

[ericadawn16]

So, The Lucky One was everything I expected. Zac Efron was hot, way hotter than usual even and it was based off a Nicholas Sparks book so lots of romance and conflict, plus cute dogs, woo!

However, one of my favorite touches will probably go over most people's heads.

Me: Did you see the Ben Grimm appearance?

(Mom thinks for a moment.)

Mom: I did! Wasn't he playing with him on the table?

Yep, my mom knows Marvel people, some even by their real name but anyway, the cool part about that is that the little boy's name is also Ben so Ben was playing with Ben.

I wish there was a cool superhero named Erica.

Now, when we went to Chimpanzee, I had to wait quite a while for popcorn so my mom waited off to the side and then I noticed the exact moment that she noticed the D-Box tester was playing The Avengers trailer, over and over. As I waited, I watched as she moved closer and closer to the screen. By the time, I got my popcorn, she was right behind the two seats and didn't even notice that I had walked up right beside her. We've decided we're going on the 5th. She gets off at 7.

Mom has also decided that since she knows nothing about Dark Shadows, the trailer looks funny and she wants to see it. I will pretend that it is a completely new entity and any similarities with previous fictional characters is entirely coincidental.

you have a very cool mom :)

I'm not at all sure about Dark Shadows, Tim Burton seems to keep trying to outdo himself in the "quirky" stakes, and to be honest when I saw the trailer I didn't think it looked funny, or even "quirky", my first thought was more along the lines of "silly and maybe even rather juvenile" which of course means hubby will love it, lol

Apart from 9 which shouldn't really count even, I haven't liked a Tim Burton film since Big Fish.

However, as you said, she is a cool mom and if she wants to see it, I will go with her.
