Well-Mannered Frivolity

Who would you pick.....

...Kevin, Joe or Nick? 

I took Mary Jane and Lila to see The Jonas Brothers Movie at the library today. Let's just say thank God it was free. 75 minutes of pure, unadulterated JoBros (with short interludes by Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato).

Kevin, as I understand it, is engaged. Nick is quite the lady's man. He has broken the hearts of the aforementioned Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. Although, sources tell me that he and Miley are back on. Sources chiefly being US Magazine. Yes, I read US Weekly. It's my only one of my weaknesses. Besides, if I didn't read US how would I keep up with the social/love lives of people I've never heard of like Audrina Partridge and Spencer Pratt? (Just for the record, I've never watched a single episode of The Hills. I only watch shows starring pro wrestlers or brooding vampires).

Getting back to the Jonas Brothers (do I have to?)---As I watched the 'movie' I couldn't help but ponder which one was the dreamiest. You know, if I was a 13 year old girl, not a 37 year old perv. I think I would pick Joe. I like Joe's huge eyebrows. Also, you never know what hairstyle Joe is going to go with. Sometimes it's curly, sometimes it's flat ironed. Kevin and Nick always sport the gawd-awful JoBroFro. IMHO, Nick is the worst looking one of the bunch. Plus, he plays the drums like a monkey. I don't understand why all the tweens (man , I hate that word) go for him. Anyway, Joe's name is fun to say. Go ahead, say it--Joe Jonas Joe Jonas--it has a kind of Red Rover type appeal to it.

And, while not overtly talking about them, their purity rings got plenty of air time. I wonder about those rings.

Next week will be much better. The movie is that Return (or is it Escape) to Witch Mountain starring Dwayne Johnson. The Rock, a former wrestler. Now if they will just show a vampire flick......

12 Rounds

We watched 12 Rounds starring John Cena tonight. Lest you think I am a negligent mother for allowing my children to watch such a violent movie (and let us not forget the bad language), you can rest assured in the knowledge that they only watch violent (and bad language) saturated movies if they star professional wrestlers. 

12 Rounds wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It was all action with very little actual acting which was a good thing. I mean, I like John Cena (I mean, he's nowhere near  Edge), but let's face it, it's a good thing he has professional wrestling to fall back on.

12 Rounds was also much better than Cena's previous flick, The Marine.The Marine featured a scene where some gangster types were wandering around the marsh in South Carolina, during the middle of Summer, wearing suits. People, I live in South Carolina. I wouldn 't even wander around my own backyard in a suit, let alone the marsh. Just thinking about the unreasonably summertime weather (and Edge) has me a little sweaty.

What the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah, 12 Rounds. While 12 Rounds was much better than I expected, it wasn't the all time greatest movie starring a pro wrestler. That dubious honor goes to John Carpenter's  They Live starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. How could you not love a movie that features the memorable quote "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." That's good stuff, I tell ya.

One more thing....after I did a little poking around on  IMDB.com I have discovered a remake of They Live will be out in 2011. Seriously?
