As we're making our way through the isles my boyfriend is reminiscing on classic movies (I nod in silent agreement as I have seen hardly any classic movies, which is quite embarrassing, but my definition of a classic is more along the lines of 'Clueless' and 'Legally Blonde'), anyhow, he picks his few boring "boy picks". I choose 'There's Something About Mary', 'Enchanted', and 'Milo and Otis'.
Last time we had movie night my boyfriend made me watch 'Dances With Wolves' which he said was a classic. Actually, this was our third attempt to watch 'Dances With Wolves', as I fell asleep 20 minutes into the movie time1 and time2. I'm sorry but that movie was really dusty and boring, not a cute pair of shoes in sight!
So tonight is my pick, and we are going to watch 'The Adventure of Milo and Otis', a favorite from my childhood. It's a tale of a pug and an orange tabby cat who live on a farm and go off on an adventure. And they have English accents which makes it even cuter!!! I seriously thought this movie should have won an Oscar and I was extremely passionate about it in Blockbuster, ranting and raving about how great of a film it is. However as we started watching, things weren't exactly how I remembered them... It was really cute and silly, but more... "elementary" than I remembered and literally was 2 hours of a talking pug and cat done by the same voiceover guy. No CGI, this was before 'Babe'. The movie came out in 1989. I kept looking over nervously to make sure that the bf was enjoying my movie pick.
I made popcorn obviously - it's my favorite food to shove my face with. I am hunting for yellows, as we all know the white ones just aren't as delicious, and about halfway through the movie my boyfriend says, "Let me get this straight. You have NEVER seen 'The Godfather' but you've seen THIS movie FIVE times?!!!". He looks at me and laughs shaking his head in disbelief (and adoration).
I give him a concerned look... "Do you want to watch 'Enchanted' instead?"
Hilarious
