Girl that was hillarious! I guess the anxiety is genetic because my son is only 4 and he worries about EVERYTHING. OMG!! If you come up with that “pill form” medication could you PLEASE ship me some?
Thanks for the movie review. I will definitely check it out. Oops, I meant to say FILM. LOL

I know one of those “turn your phone off and shut up” people to just follow me around everywhere I go….the grocery store, the theatre, the bank, the soccer field. Seriously, who goes to watch their kid play soccer and then spends the whole time on their damn phone?
Yes…I have issues, too. lol!!

I met you at the SITS party and had to come check out your blog. Wait: were you at the SF Screening?
What you describe here is identical to what I experienced (and Melissa gave me tix, too!). Dead on correct. Love it.

I feel exactly the same way about movie theaters. They stress me out a whole lot.

Yay for unconventional movie reviews! Whoever said we need to be conventional? I had a great time with you gals, and trust that I was as neurotic as you were, I was just trying to play it cool, instead I ended up doing my “Lena’s nervous and therefore talks WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much” thing lol… And I didn’t even have the caffeine to blame it on … We should go to coffee again sometime, maybe after this kid decides to come out or settle down… Oh and I figured I should tell you this here, where the goats might not catch me, but they have recruited me in their plan to take over Farmville… It started out with just your farm, and then they decided they wanted everyone’s… Forgive me… lol…

I can’t go see this movie. It just looks, I don’t know, horrible. I get enough real life in real life. I need fast cars and bullets to break me out of reality.

This is the BEST mov…er FILM review I have ever read!! You are JUST like me when it comes to things like this.
However, I AM medicated!!
I want to see this movie, it looks so good, I really like Australian movies.
The Hubs is the one who likes the cars and boobs movies, so maybe I’ll go with one of my girlfriends to see this one.
I’m with Gladys, too, the minute I saw the trailer for the George Clooney movie, “The Men Who Stare At Goats”, I immediately thought of you.

The premise of the movie sounds like Dan in Real Life with Steve Carell. He was a journalist, widowed and raising two girls.
Had you seen that movie? If so, was it similar?

I’m so glad you went to see this mov.. um film, I saw an article in the paper about it and they said it sucked so I wasn’t even going to consider it, even though it looked like the kind of chick flick, I mean film, I enjoy from time to time. And Clive Owen is hot. Sorry you couldn’t chill out and really enjoy yourself completely but then it wouldn’t be so much fun for the rest of us.

Clive Owen is on my ‘if I was gay’ list.
I have a list.
No I don’t.
What?
Forget I said anything.

Scott, could you imagine how great it would be? We’d all be sitting out front of places 3 hours early, each of us quiet to avoid missing VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS and plus, it’s hard to talk when you’re spending all your brain power willing your Snapple bottle not to go flying out of your hands in front of a Semi-trunk, puncturing their tires and putting us all in MORTAL DANGER.

I can sympathize with you over the Seat Paranoia. I am one of those weird freaks who get into the theater super-early so I can take one of those seats at the very back center of the theater…
Why? Because that row is always wider than the other rows. Meaning too-tall Me actually has leg-room.
Otherwise I end up sitting for three hours crammed into this small space with my knees up my nose.
You know, you get to do some really exciting opportunities, there, Margaret!

One time I was at the movies and Stephen King was behind me. He was reading a book. Maybe if more people read books while watching movies it would make your movie watching easier. Or maybe it’s just horror writers. Maybe if more horror writers went to the movies with you, it would be better. Sorry, I’m one of the talkers. You should have heard the guffaws, yeah rights and huffs when I saw Twilight with the 12-year olds.
Oh and regarding the wedding pic on my blog, if you look closely, I am rolling my eyes, not looking off into space-I roll my eyes at him a lot. I roll my eyes at everyone a lot. Maybe if Stephen King was behind me…)
Smiles,

Tracy! Sorry, I didn’t see your comment. Oh, I think there are lotssssss of us. We should get a brotherhood/sisterhood together or something.
Now please excuse me, I have dumped my tea on the keyboard. And I even willed it to stay up, too!

I love going to the movies! I think I’ll call my mom up for a date since I married an anti-movie man.
BTW, I found some goats this weekend and took a couple of pictures and thought of you. Want a picture?
