First Date

Mrs Bebout and I left the Younger at home in the watchful care of Beau Bridges and went off to the movies. It was our first "date" since last summer and boy oh boy were we excited.
We decided to see the Harry Potter movie because we thought it would be good.
Much in the same way as leaving your small child in the care of the family dog, seeing the newest Harry Potter movie was a mistake.
First, you would think that after five years of making these movies, the lead actors would learn a little something about, hmm, acting. They are as bad as they were on their first day, but now they are to old to play off as cute little kids.
Second, the acting is so poor that they did away with most of the dialogue and character development that is usually found in a movie. The whole thing felt like a preview for the actual movie.
Third, the theatre was cold. This is not the films fault, but it didn't help us enjoy things.

Now I am sure certain loyal readers of my blog will take issue with my thoughts on the picture, an so be it. It will make for a fun time for all as they try to defend this turd of a movie.

It must be stated that I "read" the book this movie was based on an thought it was the best of the first 5. What a let down.

I don't know man...shouldn't you judge yourselves for going to see Harry Potter (a movie that's been out for 2 months) as your first date since this summer? Don't you love each other?

Umm, try having a baby then judge us on how often we get out sans baby. We've been out without him just not on a date. Dave even opened my car door. Do you get that special treatment on your date night?

Sharon, you're proving my point. In gods name why didn't you guys go see a grown ups movie? And I'm not sure I've been on a date since 1998 and I didn't even have a baby.

It was rated PG-13 (said drawing out the 13 for nearly one full second).
Besides, the other movies out look like crap too.

It's because Sharon is tired of getting id'd for Rated R movies isn't it? Sharon, if you didn't look so freaking young...

Beau Bridges only requires dog biscuits. We however charge for gas and mileage to get him there and back. $100

Fair is fair. Of course in our house is still $100.00 so the MRs and I can let Beau Bridges work without our help. If we stay it goes up to $200.00
