Watching Movies at Zil's House
9:06 pm. Put in DVD of King Kong.
9:10 pm. Zil: "Is one of us going to hit play?"
9:23 pm. Peter: "I think I hear something on the baby monitor. Pause the movie."
Both: [hold finger alongside nose in universal gesture of "Not my turn to do it." Minutes pass.]
9:38 pm Zil: "I think he went back to sleep. Turn it back on."
9:45 pm Zil: "Uh-oh."
Peter: "Is he downstairs?"
OlderKid: "I need to pee! But I don't want to use my bathroom. I want to use this bathroom. Also, I want to turn on the whale light. Also, I want my toy box on the floor, not on the bed. I need a drink of water. Can I watch the movie with you guys?"
Zil: "I'll be right back. Pause the movie."
[Many minutes pass. Peter watches part of a Cardinals game.]
9:59 pm Zil [grimly]: "Turn the movie back on."
OlderKid [over baby monitor]: "I want to WATCH the MOVIE."
Both [muttered]: "Go BACK to SLEEP!"
10:14 pm [Natives appear.]
Peter: "Is this movie going to be scary?"
10:35 pm [Kong makes his first appearance.]
Zil: "So, that seems like a good stopping point."
Peter: "Yeah, I think I got the gist."
It's like being at Rosario Dawson's birthday party!

Yeah, I cautioned her against 'Sin City', too. At least 'King Kong' has Jack Black to lure one, as opposed to Bruce Willis. Now, who's going to watch 'Nacho Libre'?
I must admit that I did not finish Sin City and I do not know anything of this castrated guy. (Which is very unusual since I feel compelled to finish every single movie and book I begin, ever, even if they're the worst thing I've ever been a part of.)
But I still agree with you; even after having seen Kill Bill 1 AND 2 in the theater. (yikes!)
And as an update, 3 days later and we still haven't finished watching King Kong. Yesterday was a night of mainly leeches; it's going to take all my strength to get that movie back on again.
Oh geez, I forgot entirely about the yellow castrated guy because he didn't fit in with my various urban hypotheses about the movie. That part was just plain gross.
