The big disappointment ended up being my date who doesn't beeelieve in making a PEEP once the lights go down;
(in a very reasonable whisper) Haaave you ever been in board room situations as tense as thaaat? (in a whisper only audible to dogs) Yes, when we were working on a big deal shhhhh... Is he like the CEOhhh of ___? (very clipped) yes shhh... Whyyy are banker's suits always so shinyyy? No answer. Where dooo you get shiny suits like thaaat? Armani, Brioni shhhhh... Hooow much do thooose cost? (quite terse) thousands SHHH!
Good to know I can always turn to the Internet to fill in any lingering banking vs consulting questions I may have...
And, remind me to see the December release of Carnage with either Kimba or Amy. I can just tell from how funny the trailer was that it would not be in my best interest to be seated next to General Shhh for 90 minutes of suppressed cackling...
Kindness of Babe who does not put a crimp into my spending by insisting upon shiny Armani and Brioni suits for himself...XXOO
Too, too funny. I'm afraid I'm with Babe on this one.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thumbs waaaay down on shiny suits. Ewww. They make guys look like Mafia lawyers.
Yes, I'm delighted that hubs doesn't drink - all the more fancy cocktails for me and isn't into clothes - excellent on both accounts.
ReplyDeleteOh, that trailer gave me chills! I can't wait to see the movie (and as a former financial geek who actually called customers concerning margin calls, I didn't even notice the clothes -- FOR ONCE!).
ReplyDeleteRuth Madoff looked pretty scary on the "Today's Show this morning:-0
ReplyDeleteI guess she can't afford her botoxs injections these days.
With what movies cost right now and for the whole movie theater experience, I'm afraid I'm with Babe on being quiet during movies, too. My roommate tries to ask me stuff all the way through the movie, too, so I'm her General Shhh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these trailers I for one can't wait to see The Rum Diary, if nothing else just to vicariously live through the scenery and all the rum drinking. But Margin Call is definitely on my list now. Though I'm not a fan of Penn Badgley, so I'll try to tolerate him.
Oh and Iron Man 3 will be filmed in Wilmington. So my sister, who lives in Charlotte and I, may run into you and bff Kimba as we are all staking out to see Gwyneth during the filming.
Sounds like a few dates I have been on (nothing wrong with being inquisitive).
ReplyDeleteOk now I HAVE to see this! Looks really good!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween :)
Just saw this on Saturday and man I love Simon Baker. Even as a not so nice guy.
ReplyDeleteI heart you, but I have to take Babe's side on this one too...I get irrationally mad whenever I hear whispering in the theater and have been known to actually change seats because of it (just last week, during Ides of March).
ReplyDeleteRobert use to get so mad at me and all my sidebar comments during movies, but what really got me the evil eye was trying to silently pop my bubble wrap...when every now and then I didn't succeed (with the silent part)....
ReplyDeleteI did a brief stint as a lowly analyst before marrying and I have to say, your movie conversation just made me laugh hysterically. I am so out of touch with movies and TV, I'll have to put this on my "to-watch" list.
