In the theatre it was, um, In Bruges, I think. On DVD it was 40-Year-Old Virgin, which I watched, including all special features, on the plane home for the Niece's service. I'd seen it before and knew that the raunchy/funny/sweet combo would be Just The Thing, and so it proved. I watched Season One of Northern Exposure on the flight home--also Just The Thing.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You didn't want to see the French gay ménage à trois musical?
I actually did, but it had mostly gone through its run.
Instead I saw La graine et le mulet (a good choice because it cleaned up at the French Oscars that same week), Paris, and Persepolis.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
AIMEE...WHAT WAS THE LAST MOVIE WE SAW?
What year is it?
Sadly, I think it was The Simpson's in the theater on our anniversary.
In August.
At home, for me, was August Rush.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The last movie I saw at home was Team America, World Police with my brother. The last one I saw in the theater was No Country for Old Men. The movie I saw in a theater before that was also No Country for Old Men.
Damn, it's freaky how few movies and concerts I go see these days. (A lot of movies come out and I think, "I'll buy the DVD when it comes out." Or maybe "I'll buy the DVD, if I can find it in Blockbuster's discount previously-viewed bin.")

Art Crawl!!!
The last movie I saw in a theatre was something silly. . . umm, it was that movie with Katherine Heigl always being a bridesmaid. (28 Dresses?)
And I could swear I watched a movie on tv over the weekend. . . yeah, it made a huge impression on me. . . whatever it was.

what was the last movie you all saw?
In a theater? Ratatouille. At home? Not sure, but it's been awhile. Lately if I have two hours to invest in narrative, I go for a book instead.
ETA - "I go for a book instead" isn't meant to be a value judgment. Books are just easier to pick up again if I have to put them down in the middle, somehow. I feel like for a movie I have to set aside the time and know it's not going to be interrupted. And that just isn't what my life looks like anymore.

On TV, it was Escape From Alcatraz. I have an unholy love for that movie. Also this past week was Easter Parade and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I had never seen all the way through.
