The thought processes of men

Posted : 12/30/2006 1:25:42 PM

It's pouring with rain here, so we're having a chilled-out popcorn-and-movie afternoon. In the spirit of fairness, we each chose a movie - I got The Break Up, my SO got Snakes On a Plane.

So we're watching the latter, and towards the end of the film it becomes necessary to shoot out the windows in the plane to get rid of the snakes. Of course, since there is so much pressure, everything that is not tied down goes flying out.

First, a bunch of snakes go hurtling out the window, followed very closely by a dead body.

My SO: "Wouldn't you be freaked out if a snake suddenly fell on your house? I mean, you hear all those stories about things falling out of planes and crashing through living rooms."

Me: "Well, yes - but in this particular set of circumstances, I'd possibly be more freaked out by a DEAD BODY landing on the house."

My SO: "Oh. Yeah. I guess that makes more sense."

Lovely creatures, men. But not to be understood.

How funny! I swear that sounds like a conversation we'd have!

I showed this to my husband. He was rolling on the floor laughing at the end of it. BTW, DH is desperate to see this movie. It comes out here on Tuesday.

Easy there...some of us do. Sometimes though the blood decides to go elsewhere...*shrug*

[sm=lol.gif] they are oblivious to things so obvious, sometimes!

how was the movie? i think it looks and sounds just plain rediculous. the first time i heard "snakes on a plane" my only thought was, didn't the producers realize just by the name that this was a bad idea?!

Kate-

that is so freakin funny...but i have to say that that conversation would NEVER occur in my house...maybe my dh had a sex change or something but it is more likely that the engineer in him makes him different...

jim would be too caught up in all the movies innacuracies to even allow us to get to the end (thus we stick mainly to independent and foreign films in our household so i don't get lectures throughout the movie...). And forget the fact that the snakes were on a freakin plane...because of his work on F18's i would get tons of lessons throughout that entire movie...perhaps i would rather have your SO's thought process...hmmmm...something to think about!

My DH keeps up a running commentary (when he isn't channel flipping) especially if the program has to do with anything legal. I have to keep telling him "This is a TV show. It's not real. It's supposed to be just for entertainment. If you're not being entertained, go do something else. But let me watch it!" Come on! Do we actually think that *Boston Legal* is for real???

I once had a "discussion" with a male friend right after the movie "Godzilla" came out. He said that Godzilla would be able to destroy Oklahoma City and I laughingly told him not before the jets at the nearby Air Force base would take him (her?) out. He disagreed stronglyl and actually got upset with me and argued the point!

Mine TOTALLY has a science mind and one would THINK that this would make watching movies with him similar to your situation, Shelly.
But...NO!
My guy gets SO wrapped up in movies when we're watching them, that it makes my lingering fear of zombies seem realistic.
UGH. He'll say the STUPIDEST crap to me during a movie. He'll be curled up in the corner of the couch and say (during a zombie movie)," Man, QUIT WASTING YOUR AMMO!!!! Crap, they didn't hit it in the head right, it's not dead! If that were me I would've..." <---I tune him out by that point. While he's in his curled up position in the corner of the couch, he'll cringe with his fingers by his mouth during certain parts. I laugh at him and call him a girl. But then I make him stay with me in the bathroom while I pee because I'm afraid a zombie will bust out my bathroom window and eat me before I finish peeing. And, honestly, what an embarrassing way to die. So, I have a plan. He stands in the bathroom with me, that way if a zombie breaks my window he can AT LEAST distract it long enough for me to pee.

Whoa, I rambled.
I'm not feeling well today and napped for 2 hours this afternoon!!! I NEVER nap during the day unless I'm REALLY ill. I've been REALLY out of it since I woke up. I can't shake this groggy feeling like I've just taken allergy medicine.
