movie madness

In December, LML and I were away.
I'll admit- when we're away, we don't tend to say we are.
I like my private life- just that way. private.

So, while we were on holiday, on a beach somewhere...
we made a list of all these movies we'd have to catch once being home for a while.

(and duh- i always travel with more than one notebook and oodles of pens)

my list look something liked this....

1. Larry Crowne
2. The Help
3. Super 8
4. Midnight in Paris
5. Crazy Stupid Love
6. Secretariat
7. Water for Elephants
8. all the Paranormal Activities
9. Eat Pray Love (again)
10. Hot Tub Time Machine
11. Take me home tonight
12. Dinner for Schmucks (I'm sure I didn't spell this correctly)
13. Life as we Know it
14. My soul to take
15. Morning Glory

Obviously, we've been away and busy in the last two years.

The chunk of time that we've been stationed in one locale, we've adjusted the list a few times.

Now, it looks like this...

1. Larry Crowne
2. The Help
3. Super 8
4. Midnight in Paris
5. Crazy Stupid Love
6. Secretariat
7. Water for Elephants
8. all the Paranormal Activities
9. Eat Pray Love (again)
10. Hot Tub Time Machine
11. Take me home tonight
12. Dinner for Schmucks (I'm sure I didn't spell this correctly)
13. Life as we Know it
14. My soul to take
15. Morning Glory
16. Black Swan
17. How do you know
18. Hangover 2
19. The Rite
20. The Roomate
21. Just go with it
22. Unknown
23. Hall Pass
24. Adjustment Bureau
25. 50/50
26. In Time
27. Tower Heist
28. J. Edgar
29. Immortals
30. Jack and Jill
31. Descendants
32. Hugo
33. Week with Marilyn
34. Beastly
35. Paul
36. Red Riding Hood
37. Bridesmaids
38. Art of Getting By
39. Bad Teacher
40. One Day
41. Horrible Bosses
42. Dream House
43. Our Idiot Brother
44. Don't be afraid of the Dark
45. I don't know how she does it
46. Let me in

Here's the math...

The price of a movie in New York is approximately $10 (and I'm being nice). 

Together, if we'd gone to see every movie on this list, we'd have spend over $900. (um, holy crap?)

That's a whole vacation (or more than one vaca, depending where you're spending it) for two!

Since we've been back, we've accomplished 21 movies on this list- roughly. 

That's still $420 dollars saved.

We've seen all these movies in the last few months at the expense of the wonderful people over at our present 'cable company'...which is not time warner, cuz they blew chunks.

Our favorites out of these 21 movies:

1. Hangover 2
2. Paul
3. Hot tub time machine
4. bridesmaids

As I'm a girl, to my list I'm adding:

5. The Help (which was "OK" to LML but "Boring.")

6. Midnight in Paris (which was about the plight of a writer--LML understands me, but not other writers. LOL)

7. Jack and Jill (I love Adam Sandler...LML chuckles at a few lines. I would love Adam Sandlers career- so I always closely pay attention.)

Thus concludes our list of movie madness so far. Help us add to it :) e-mail  me at whosthatgamine@gmail.com
