Movies:
While on our honeymoon, we veged out in the room a couple of evenings and watched some DVDs we brought along. We watched The Muppets Take Manhattan, which was timely, what with the wedding and all. That one always makes me cry. 😉
We also watched Never Been Kissed, which is one of my favorite cheesy girly flicks. I, of course, have seen it numerous times. Rand had never seen it, though.
And finally, we watched Talladega Nights: the Ballad of Ricky Bobby, courtesy of Netflix. Silly movie, of course, but I laughed quite a bit. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are hilarious together…so I am a bit interested in seeing Step Brothers. Oh, and Amy Adams is utterly adorable. Of course. 😉
This past week, we went out to the movies a couple of times. We saw Hancock, which was not even remotely the movie I thought it was going to be, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was nice to see Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron together again. (by the way, I barely recognized Charlize Theron through most of the movie, except as a pretty blonde woman I *knew* I was supposed to recognize. She’s sort of chameleonlike.)
*Mistah efff*
Moving on, for those of you who didn’t watch Arrested Development. 😉
We also saw Wall-E, which was every bit as good as everyone says it was.
TV:
Oh, VH1, you will be the death of me yet…I can walk away from the reality/dating shows, but I simply cannot get enough of your lists/I love the (insert decade of choice here), with your snarky comedians and actors. So yeah, a lot of that. We also watched VH1 Rock Honors–The Who (of course. You all know who I live with, right?), which was quite enjoyable.
Last night, we got sucked into Bender’s Big Score (the first Futurama movie) on Comedy Central, despite having seen it already.
On DVD, we’ve been watching Sex and The City (which you know already if you follow me on Twitter). Season 3, how I hate you. We finished it. Gah. Stupid Carrie. Stupid Big. Anyway.
We also got Spaced, and we watched the first episode. Looks fun. Very funny. Very British. I like.
Things I still want to see:
Mamma Mia. Oh, how I love love loved this cheesy stage show. Loved. And every time I see a preview for the movie, I grin like an idiot. Must see. Must see in theater.
Kung Fu Panda. This will probably be in the cheap theater soon. That’s okay with me.
Step Brothers. Already mentioned.
I kind of want to see Get Smart, but I can wait for DVD.
I’m not sure I want to see The Dark Knight, but I have a feeling I will.
See, here’s the thing…I liked the first Batman movie. I liked that it wasn’t overly dark and serious. I don’t like dark crime movies. They depress me. I’m sure it’s every bit as good as everyone says, but…eh.
So, what have you been watching?

We have been watching : Burn Notice, Psych and Monk since they have started all started their new seasons. Now we are just waiting for Eureka to start.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog! Really funny, and silly. I am bummed it is only available by iTunes right now. I have to wait for the DVD.
Dark Knight was amazing, but yes it is very dark.
The new X-Files movie was ok. It is like a 2 hour episode. It was nice to see Moulder & Scully again. 🙂
Probably will see the Mummy this weekend, and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2 (which looks like the plot of the 4th book) the following weekend.
Niels & I saw Step Brothers, yesterday, with my sister who walked out, which I’ve never seen her do. There were some really funny bits, but as a whole it was pretty bad.
I’ve spent this summer getting hooked on Law and Order SVU. Gotta love Stabler, Benson, Munch, Fin, Cragen, and everyone else. Great show. Too bad it took me 9 years to find it….but that’s OK…I have lots of episodes to watch! And since the reruns are on USA, I’ve seen the promos for Psych and rented the pilot episode from Netflix. I love Netflix! Oh, and the hubster and I are working our way through Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
