Amelie

Death Rock and Nice Alice

"This
is the sweetest, cutest, nicest, most romantic movie I will ever see. I'm sure
of it. Nothing could be this cute or charming without being a puppy."

"It
was in French. Didn't I warn you about takin' me ta see films by friggin' frogs?
I had to listen to them cough up phlegm for two frickin' hours."
"Wasn't it worth it though? I think I cried forty-four
times during this movie. It was sad and sweet and joyous and a celebration of
people."
"
I didn't get it.
She was a hot chick who couldn't get laid, right? Cause her mom was crushed in
church or something like that. That happened, right?"
"
Sheesh, Deathy.
You just saw the movie and you can't remember what happened?"
"
Shit, I'm sure I'd
remember something if I'd known at any time during the flick what the fuck was
going on. I told you, I can't stand that language. How was I supposed to follow
the plot?""
You
did read along with the subtitles, right?"
"
Fuck, Alice. You
know I don't read. Besides, they give ya a choice of staring at her tight ass
and sweet foreign knockers or reading along with the movie, ya know what I'm
choosin' babe."
"
But then you
missed the whole movie! What could you possibly have gotten out of the movie if
all you did was stare at her and you didn't read a thing?"
"
A rock hard stiffy."
"
Death Rock! I
can't believe whenever we go to see a film *I* want to see, you never pay any
attention. Don't you think you'd enjoy sharing an experience like this with me?"
"
I did share it with
you, babe. We just enjoyed different parts of the flick."
"
Never again. I'm
never going to another movie with you again. I bet Bright Boy would love to see
a sweet movie like this with me."
"
He'd fuckin' watch
a dog take a turd as long as it was with you. That boy is pussy whipped and he
ain't even had a taste of the tang."
"
I'd appreciate
it if you didn't refer to my delicate regions as 'the tang'. You are so
disrespectful. I don't know why I even try to work it out with you."
"
Cause who else is
gonna take you out to dinner, sit through a crappy movie like this and then give
you four or five life changing orgasms?"
"
Well, it would
really be nice, not to mention really sweet, if you'd at least pretend to care
about some of the movies I really like."
"
Okay, so how'm I
s'pos'ta do that?"
"
Well, when we go
see a film *I* chose, wait until *I* say something about it so that you can
judge how you should be reacting to the movie."
"
So I'm gonna bite
my tongue until you give me the go ahead? I never seen neither Duke boy do that
for no chick. Sounds more like a Jovi love song."
"
It would really
make me happy. When we went to see Amelie, and I was really excited about
it and I told you how much I was going to love this movie, you shouldn't have
said, 'But it's in *beeping* French, babe. I jus' know it's gonna suck.'""How
about you write me a script next time and I'll just read from that?""
Deathy,
just don't say anything if you don't like it. I don't mind if you're critical of
movies I didn't like or ones I may just kind of like, but it really hurts my
feelings when you don't like a movie that I really, really, really like. So just
don't say anything or lie to me and make me happy."
"But I'm a friggin' movie critic, Alice. You want me to lie to everybody
out there reading my review? My reputation'll be tarnished, babe. I have to tell
it like I see it. And I thought this movie was too long, too confusing and way
too French."
"
Okay,
you're right. But when we're watching the movie, could you pretend you liked it?
Then, in the review, you could be truthful. At least that way, I can enjoy the
movie without having to listen to you mutter, 'Merde, merde, merde,' during
every single scene."
"Yeah, you're
actually right, babe. I shouldn't try to mess up your review of the flick
neither. Even if nobody ever listens to your opinion, you're still entitled to
it."
"Aww,
thanks Deathy. I think everyone should go see this movie. It's incredibly
imaginative. It had me weeping for the loneliness of mankind while at the same
time laughing at people's ability to interact and connect in the strangest of
ways. I've never felt happier after a movie ended."
"At
least we agree on that."
