We’re going on a DATE! Josh-O and I are hitting the town! Well, we’re going to dinner and a movie. My parents are taking the monkey on their own little date — to dinner, where she’ll likely not eat a THING except ice cream or cake…. A-ny-way, Josh-O and I will have each other all to ourselves for an evening. There Josh will be, strutting his stuff with…this…on his arm….

Yes, I may even wear The Shirt on my date. And, no…. No bra is holding those suckers up these days….

Aaaand, it looks like this will be the last date we’ll have for a LO-HO-HONG time. We better make it good, then, right? So, here’s where YOU come in. I need you to help ME decide what movie we go to. I say ME because I’M the one who has to sit UNCOMFORTABLY through the movie — so, it better be worth it! But, I should be fair to the hubby…I guess. So, HELP: tell me which to see and why!

Here are the choices:

1. STARDUST. I’ve been aching to see this movie because I LOVE me some fantasy. But, but BUT, I hear it’s based on the book, and that the book is really good — so maybe I should read the book first and see the movie later? But, but BUT, by the time I get through ANY book, Stardust will be OLD NEWS. So, I don’t know. What do you think? …Michelle Pfeiffer is just so sickeningly GORJ.

2. SUPERBAD. EVERYONE’S raving about how super funny Superbad is. And, I’m all for the funny. The funny makes my world go round. Only problem I foresee? Laughing my arse off is going to make me PEEEE, possibly in my pants! But, maybe it’s worth it…?

3. BECOMING JANE. There’s NO WAY Josh will agree to see this. So, if you really don’t like Josh, then vote for this one…. I DO LOVE JANE, though…. Ahhh, Emma — otherwise known as “THEE, novel whom I read thrice and only movie I LOVED Gwyneth Paltrow in and watched over and over…and over….”

4. TRANSFORMERS. Here’s one for Josh. He totally wants to see this. But, I DON’T AT ALL. I mean, come on! Where’s the eye candy? You know, the hott guys? I’m supposed to watch the kid from Holes for 2 hours? Umm, no thanks. And, neither Josh Duhamel NOR Tyrese really do it for me. They’re too pretty for me. I’m a CLIVE OWEN type of girl. I like my men burly…HARRR…! Mmmmm, love…. Apparently, the movie’s great, though….

5. HAIRSPRAY. Again with the Michelle Pfeiffer. LOVE HER. But, John Travolta? Not so much…AT ALL. On the other hand, I love So You Think You Can Dance, and one of the judges from that show choreographed the routines in this movie, so……. But, John Travolta….

6. THE NANNY DIARIES. Another movie Josh wouldn’t rush to see….. But, I read the book and loved it! And, I have a HUGE girlcrush on Scarlett Johansson…. I haven’t heard much about this movie, though. Anyone know if it’s any good? Should we see it on our date? Come to think of it, though, do I REALLY want to see a movie about a cheaty little monkey and his nanny when I’m on MY DATE?

8. THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM. Everyone’s talking about this movie. It’s supposed to be PERFECTION. Wouldn’t it make a good rental, though? We rented the other two, as far as I remember. Plus, I’m too big, and arse hurts too much, to spend 2 hours sitting on the edge of my seat!

9. HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. Another fantasy movie. And, again, I’m a sucker for a good fantasy. And, magic. I love magic. I wish I had magical powers and an owl like Harry does. Yes, an owl, 3 cats, 2 monkeys and a husband: family complete. Should we see this tomorrow?

10. MR. BEAN’S HOLIDAY. That one line in the commercial cracks me up. You know, the one where Mr. Bean (who rarely talks) runs after a bus, emotionlessly uttering “THAT’S MY BAAAAG!” Hee. But, could the whole movie be that funny? And, is it worthy of The Date? No matter what, it would totally be a good rental. Anyone seen it yet?

11. RATATOUILLE. It’s SO not funny. Whenever Josh and I go on a date, we always end up showing up too late to catch all the good movies…. So, several times, we’ve ended up seeing an animated flick…. Like Open Season (HATED) and Flushed Away (LOVED) — yes, Josh and I actually saw both these movies in the theater as part of our DATE. How très romantic! Anyway, why quit romancing the animated flicks while we’re ahead? Ahem. What say you?

12. RUSH HOUR 3. I’m not a Jackie Chan fan. But, I’ve seen some of the movies. And, they’re entertaining enough. People LOVE the Rush Hour flicks. Are you guys Rush Hour fans? Because, if you are, I guess I’m going to see it tomorrow. I really hope you’re not, though…hint…hint….

13. BALLS OF FURY. PLEASE don’t make me see this. I put this here because I wanted to see where I stand with you. If you make me go see this, I’ll know for sure that YOU HATE ME. I do love Christopher Walken, though….

There you have it! Tell us what movie to see, kay? LOVE!!!
