Horror

As my loyal readers, you will recall my earlier post regarding my distaste for horror movies. That distaste still stands. Although, I did watch another one. Why? Because Matt is relentless.

This is EXACTLY how I got talked into watching it. You can ask Matt. He'll verify. Besides, we all know I only speak the truth. Well, okay... but I'm speaking the truth now. It is as if there were a court reporter.

Matt: We’re going to watch “Village of the Damned.”
Allie: Okay.
Matt: Come watch it.
Allie: No thanks.
Matt: Come on.
Allie: Nah.
Matt: Are you sure?
Allie: I’m sure.
Matt: It’s not scary.
Allie: I’m not interested.
Matt: It was made in the 50s. It can’t possibly be scary.
Allie: I see your logic.
Matt: It’s a classic.
Allie: It’s just not my type of movie.
Matt: Come watch it.
Allie: I think I’ll pass.
Matt: Just ten minutes.
Allie: I’ve got other things to do… like… uh… you know… important stuff.
Matt: Just watch ten minutes of it.
Allie: I try and make it a policy not to watch movies with “Damned” in the title.
Matt: It’s not scary, it’s just aliens.
Allie: Aliens are scary.
Matt: It’s Sci-Fi.
Allie: I really don’t like Sci-Fi.
Matt: It’s not Sci-Fi.
Allie: You just said that it was. Next thing I know you are going to tell me it’s a romantic comedy.
Matt: It is!
[Allie eyes him warily]
Matt: It’s not scary.
Allie: I believe you.
Matt: Just ten minutes.
Allie: No thanks.
Matt: You have to give it a chance.
Allie: I’d rather not.
Matt: Just ten minutes, then you can go.
[Allie shakes her head and Matt leaves the room. He comes back seconds later.]
Matt: Ten minutes.
[Allie says nothing. Matt leaves the room. He comes back seconds later.]
Matt: Just give it a chance.
Allie: Really?
Matt: Yeah.
Allie: Okay.

So, I watched the movie. I’m spineless.

It's not you, Matt. It's your movie. For the record, even if Michael Vartan wanted me to watch it, I wouldn’t want to. Granted, I would watch it. Because he’s hot, and probably very nice to cling to - but I still wouldn’t enjoy the movie itself.

For all of you out there who are wondering who this crazy Matt fellow is, here is a recent picture. Can’t you see the familial resemblance? We look just like Grandpa Bill.
