This is why we need movie intermissions

The boy and I went to the movies yesterday, as it was too hot to go for a walk. I've been wanting to see Finding Neverland for ages now, but the boy was in the mood for a laugh so we chose to watch Team America instead.

It was true to the Southpark style of humour, although nothing in this movie could beat the Saddam/Satan romance in Southpark, the movie.

I really should have known that it would be a mistake to take a super-size drink into the movie with me, but I did it anyway. I slipped away at the beginning of what I expected to be a tender love scene between Lisa and the actor hero, thinking I'd just miss a bit of cheesy smooching. Apparently what I missed was a puppet montage of every porno sex scene I've never watched (and that's all of them).

Team America isn't good enough for me to want to see it twice, but now I'm really disappointed to have missed out on what could have been a moment of hilarity to rival the Santa-having-sex-in-the-dressing-room scene in Bad Santa.

I understand your pain! I went to see "LOTR: Return of the King" when I was 8 months pregnant with DS. The last hour consisted of a lot of leg-crossing and jiggling from me and the thought often crossed my mind, "This movie is too damn long".

I liked it well enough, but I ordered it as pay-per-view, I didn't want to spend 10 US dollars to see it. I did, however, like the part where Kim Jong Il said, 'Arec Baldwin, I so ronely' lol!

My fave bit was when the actor guy had his makeover to look like a terrorist. I only noticed afterwards that he was wearing a towel on his head.
