Movies, in short.
I went to see Due Date on Friday. Don't do that. Not even Robert Downey Jr could make it worth it, though he was pretty.
I went to see RED last week -- definitely go see that. Not only was it entertaining, hilarious, and a pretty fucking awesome action move, but - GUYS, GUYS - when Helen Mirren has to switch from "Elegant, Formal Outfit" to "Asskicking Assassin Time", she takes off her heels and puts on hiking boots. Do you know how long I have been shouting this at TV and movie screens with no real hope? It's right up there with "Tie your god damn hair back, Black Widow*." I may have made some really undignified noises of joy in the theater.
Also the love interest was really adorable. So was Bruce Willis' character, actually. N'awwww.
Bonus: my cat keeps trying to attract my attention by stretching adorably, at which point she stretches too far and falls off the bed. But that has nothing to do with movies.
*Iron Man II. One of the most egregious examples of hair as an obstacle to vision. Iron Man one features Pepper Potts running on steel mesh in 4 inch heels. Double trouble, Iron Man Franchise.

Characters who don't tie their hair back before doing something athletic and ask-kicking-y, idek. Drives me up the wall. (Reference: my braid is long enough to sit on. When unbraided, my hair is a menace to society. If I were in an action movie with my hair loose, whoever was on the other side could just stand back and laugh. (Anime series? Let's not go there.))
