What Swanky Things are you Watching?

Still, Sean Bean. I'm a Beanite. And I freakin' love the book.

But once again I'm forced to accept that I much prefer reading about sex than watching it. Especially in front of my parents. At one point my dad said - during a rather disappointing scene - "Wow, this was truly erotic in the book, but..."

"Yeah, yeah. I know," I said.

And at one point my mother said, "Does she not like it? She doesn't look like she's liking it." And though there are times in the book where that's the case, the time my mother was talking about in the movie wasn't one of them. I just much prefer knowing what's going on inside their heads than watching them. That book had so many lovely things to say about the things that happen to bodies when they come together: all the good, bad, amazing, boring, etc. things. Le sigh.

Ah, Sean Bean, you are a marvel.

I'm just loving that you watched that with your parental units! for you!

Kat and I watched The Village last night. I was proud she didn't get scared! Bailey chickened out...after The Exorcist , he won't watch scary movies. I thought it was ok...for sure not one of M. Night's best works...but after it was over, it made you think for a while and of course, filled you with a million questions.
