My husband that is. You see I dragged him to watch BREAKING DAWN Part 1 on Sunday. He knew we were going to eventually watch it you know. And he was miserable the entire time. He couldn't help but make snide remarks throughout the movie, which I don't blame him. I would have spouted the same remarks myself. The movie was how can I put it mildly, well a waste of time.
But that didn't mean I didn't enjoy my time. I love the characters. May be more if I read the books, but even without knowing them thru the books I really embraced them. I feel like I know them.
When the first movie came up, I was blindsided. I didn't know anything about the movie. I didn't even bother to watch it on the big screen. On DVD, I found the story appealing to not only teens but eternally romantics like I am. So what if the characters are high school students. I can totally relate to the boy 1 loves girl and girl loves boy 2 situation. I also can relate to the torn between two lovers scenario. So this really appealed to me.
So when the second movie came out, I dragged the hubby into the cinema for date night. He was difficult but I promised him that this would be the only one of the series that we'd pay money to see. But I lied. Despite the fact that the second movie was boring, I was eager to see this one too.
It took a lot of cajoling to get him to agree to see the movie. Until know I really can't pinpoint what made him change his mind. I'm guessing he said yes just to shut me up. Like all husbands do, you know.
However, I must say that subjecting the husband to mushy chick flick about teens is bordering on torture. I pity him and feel for him.
But I have to be alert now and find ways to get him to see the Part 2 when it comes. My job is laid out before me. I must prepare.
