enamouredAfter the nightmare that was day two of Tax Free Weekend, I was so relieved to get off. I promised my mom that we'd go and see Sparkle, so we ended up at Studio Movie Grill after a series of minor mishaps in the rain.
Here's the thing about my mom: our movie tastes don't match up. I like damn near everything, and her scope is usually within the broad comedy/melodramatic weepie flick vein. She always seems confused when I'm amped to see a superhero movie or something sci-fi, which means that when she wants to see a movie at the theater (which is very rare), it's not always something that I'm particularly interested in seeing, but I digress.
We had three trailers, one for Alex Cross, which is actiony and not the kind of thing my mom is usually into--but she wants to see it because Tyler Perry is in it. And after that, we had the trailer for Pitch Perfect, which is so something up my alley, so much so that Mom said, "I bet you want to see that."
And--most perplexingly of all--we had the trailer for Breaking Dawn, Part Two. I swear, that damn trailer has been in front of EVERY MOVIE THIS SUMMER. Anyway, after Bella was done monologuing about how she was meant to be a vampire, Jacob shows up and hand to God, my mom leans over to me and whispers, "Well, he's awful cute," and all that I could do was make the DO NOT WANT face.
Later on, Mom nudged me in the side and asked me if I was bored, and I shook my head and was all, "...no?" Then when we left, she said, "You looked like you were bored" again. I have no idea how to interpret that, except maybe that it's just my movie-watching face. Well, that, and my Film as Art class has really rubbed off on me, because I was watching for color schemes and listening for music cues while trying to watch the movie at the same time. But really, what other face was I supposed to be making while watching?
