I swear, MH gets the WORST films on Netflix. We have 2 queues (his and mine) and we just watched yet another horrible movie of his. Those are 90 minutes I can never get back. I didn't want to hurt his feelings because this would have been the 3rd movie of his in a row that I would have said "I'm sorry, you can finish watching this, but it will be alone."
I swear, I have no idea what the heck thought process happens that he thinks these are going to be quality films-- and then he persists in "giving it a chance."
I love him, but man-- do I really have 50-60 more years of this?!? LOL
PS. Do not ever watch the movie "Skyline." Just trust me on this one.

I think MH has "Pathfinder" on his queue, too!
My husband has been sick with what we're guessing is food poisoning and has been watching a lot of movies lately. Over the weekend I was looking forward to curling up and watching a movie with him after the baby went to bed and what does he want to watch but "The Road". It's a movie with Viggo Mortensen (love him) about a dad and his son wandering the post-apocalyptic earth. I couldn't take it and wound up on my computer. He likes to subject himself to heart wrenching movies. Personally, my heart gets wrenched enough without help from Hollywood.
The western we watched last night was good though.
DH and I actually listened to the audio book version of this the last time we took a long car trip together. I loved it! I heard the movie wasn't as good though.
DH usually has pretty good taste in movies. However the other night he posted this as his FB status "Tremors is the best movie ever!!" : / Right, buddy...
I probably would have enjoyed the book but the visuals in the movie were more than I needed. The book is always better than the movie.
MH rented "The Road" and it is LONG. Good, but depressing and long. If that were the worst movie he ever chose, I'd be fine with that.
Anyone ever hear of "MacGruber?" It's a spoof of spy/MacGuyver and is so horrible, I kept begging MH to turn it off. After it was over, he admitted that it was unusually cruel punishment to have not turned that movie off after the first 15 minutes. It is the reason, actually, that we now have what I call "my right to invoke the cessation of the movie."
I need to invoke that privilege more often, I think...
MH loves that show and enlightened our VISTAs last year about how awesome it was. And now if you look at my fb wall you see posts from them.
My husband watches that too, the episodes and the movies. He has a teeshirt with Bubbles on it too. Did you know a very very young Ellen Page is in the earlier seasons?? She played Mr. Lehey's daughter.
