I'm counting the hours . . .

Here's a weird coincidence, I'm listening to "Christ For President" by Billy Bragg and Wilco (from old lyrics by Woody Guthrie) on Radio@AOL as I read this thread I opened without knowing what it was about.

I so want to see this as well. In the film, I wonder if Jesus says, " I kick arse for myself!" It would be a good fit.

Thankfully my wife is pretty understanding when it comes to things like this.  I think she would actually get a kick out of JC: Vampire Hunter.  I might need to pick that flick up.

But alas, there a few things she refuses to watch.  My remote was blocked by her last night while trying to change the channel to Empire Of The Ants.  Her explanation for not wanting to see it:

"I don't like films from the 70s.  And once I saw a 50s movie about giant ants and it sucked."

"Babe, you mean 'Them!'"

"Yeah, something like that....It sucked."

We then proceded to watch Dead Like Me on Icntrl.  Oh well.

I know I'm a little late with this, but you could try telling her that they sent you the wrong movie. Tell her that you actually ordered Deep Throat. ;)

UPDATE . . . UPDATE . . . UPDATE . . .

I must have miscalculated, because I have not received this movie yet.

Either that, or my wife threw it away and didn't tell me.

I also just got an e-mail notification that my copy of CAPTAIN KRONOS, VAMPIRE HUNTER has been shipped. What a great double feature!

I thank all of you who gave me advice on this one.

Luckily, my wife DID NOT open the package when this DVD arrived. I was able to smuggle it downstairs and stick it on the bookcase among my other DVDs (right between JEEPERS CREEPERS and JESUS OF NAZARETH) before she saw it.

An hour or so later, she asked me which movie had arrived.

I just said, "It 's a vampire movie. You won't like it."

End of conversation. No more questions. Saved again!

So she doesn't scan the titles on the shelves?  "Hmm, maybe I'll watch Jesus of Nazareth, wait, what's this right beside it, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter?!  Honey!"

Hide it.

Right in between a film directed by a convicted child molester and a TV miniseries about the Savior. Somehow that just seems like an incredibly odd twist of the alphabet.

Sometimes, she does. But mostly she just asks me to pick out a good comedy or drama and I do all the scanning.
