The double entendre isn't lost here...... haha
At first I just ignored it and played a game on my phone, or went to my office and watched something else. Then I watched a few, and now I find it interesting and it's got lots of action....well, it lasts for 3 minutes (I can think of something else that is exciting for 3 minutes, but we won't go there, haha).
I used to hate watching Forged in Fire, but he has managed to win me over on that one too.
He isn't a sports fan, so there is that. I like football more than he does.
But if he labels a show as a "chic flick" he leaves. I don't think I've ever convinced him to watch any of those. I think I'm not a good sales person....although sometimes it's great that he leaves instead of spending the 30 min to 1 hour show being snarky. Especially when his snark has a point. :-( I just hate when that happens.
Love, 365
What are chick flicks? Rom coms? I don't honestly know. Everything today is CGI, a comic book or worse Avatar. I watch a lot of old movies which I love. North by Northwest, Rear Window. You know humans talking and sharing with other humans. Some a mystery, some a comedy, some a drama, some just fun. If nothing is blowing up or it's not a comic book or CGI then men call it a chick flick. I don't get it. Is that Romeo too? Thankfully my husband likes all genres to a point. (not a huge fan of comic books) he will watch a movie where people interact. Coda was a great movie. But nothing blew up, no aliens, no CGI. Just humans. A guy Rick knows said he didn't watch it because it was a chick flick. WHAT? Rick loved Sex and The City too - well mostly for the nudity. :-)
ReplyDeleteA chick flick is a mushy love story. Haha I liked Avatar....but then I'm a sci fi lover and you aren't....but I do draw the line at super hero movies ~ most of the time :-)
DeleteMy hubby watches Battle Bots, too. I find it boring.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find things we both want to watch. We still get Netflix dvds and take turns selecting them, but it's a pain in the ass to get him to sit down at the computer and find things he wants to watch. Funny, I suggest we stop doing the DVD plan, and he protests. ::shrug::
He loves movies with blood and screaming and things blowing up.
I will watch something like that if there's a reason for those things.
Like last weekend, we watched Lake Placid. I had forgotten how funny it was. But there was a bit of screaming, some blood and body parts.
And Betty White, who was hilarious in it.
I do enjoy historical dramas, and there's usually a lot of violence and blood in those. It is rather hard to find a common middle ground though. And despite watching the preview, sometimes we both pick out stinkers.
DeleteOhhh so understand you there!! Women are far more flexible. Or I am anyway so I get peace and quiet lol. My husband hates most of the programmes I love and has been known to stomp off in a fug. So much better for me
ReplyDeleteHaha, I hear you! Although Romeo just goes to his office and watches something else, and doesn't usually stomp :-) I'm always willing to give it a little time before decided it's not worth my time. His time frame is about 5 minutes, mine is 30. I guess we're more patient too...
DeleteIt used to be called Robot Wars over here and we were fixated with it. There is always that 'could I build a better one' element in our discussion of each candidate. The 'that won't work'... which is easy when you are a bystander. We also watch the Rrd Bull soapbox derbies - that I would love to build a soap box for and give it a go.
ReplyDeleteWe usually try to pick a winner in advance ~ although we don't bet on it. Hmmm, maybe we should make the loser wash the dishes :-)
ReplyDeleteI am also a member of the SNARKY husband affliction. It has help me hang on by a thin thread. Arguing with my better half is like spiting into the wind. You as a husband, is much like spitting into the wind, you only walk away with a wet face.
