Ever have one of those days when two things happened that would require separate blog posts, and you don't know which to blog about? No? Okay then. Moving on. I decided to take my mom to see Georgia Rule at the new Studio Movie Grill as a birthday/Mother's Day thing. Well, I have much to say about that.
First, the new Studio Movie Grill. Cool place, I guess. You can go and order dinner while you watch a movie. Not the best movie-viewing venue, but with the "dinner and a movie" atmosphere, it would be a great first date kind of place. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? The funny thing is that their silence-is-golden-so-turn-off-your-flippin'-cell-phones-and-babies message is set up as a DVD player loading, and for a good two minutes, I thought they were actually playing from a DVD. The sad part was the trailers...
Random chick flick preview...puh-lease.
New Dane Cook preview...what-ever (though it does look to be mildly funny)
Melodramatic female-only cast...maybe...
New Fantastic Four preview...close, but no cigar.
The one movie preview I was really looking forward to was but sadly withheld...the new Harry Potter. (Maybe I shouldn't have admitted to that level of dorkiness)
The movie. First, it was hard to watch the movie with the waitors and waitresses bobbing and weaving and trying to deliver orders without interrupting the rest of us movie-watchers. The movie itself? Um, holy guacamole this was not the mother-daughter bonding-chick-flick-please-hand-me-a-hankie-mom movie that I thought I was going to see. It has some harsh acting, harsh words, and harsh topics. When we left, my mom actually summed it up pretty well when she said "Well, I know we have issues, but at least we aren't that screwed up."
