White Chicks

Sol and I watched the movie "White Chicks" last night, with the Wayans brothers. Great stuff. I almost couldn't get Sol to watch it with me, because for some reason he thought it starred the Olsen twins. !?!?!

Anyway, in the first ten minutes of the film there's a scene where the guy comes home to his wife and she's railing at him for being late and not "communicating" with her, but the poor guy is so tired after a long day's work that he promptly falls asleep. It was hilarious, but even more so because that's exactly what's been happening in our happy home this past week. It's the end of the financial year here so Sol's been putting in extra hours at work, while it's also the rainy season which means I'm pretty much confined to the house. This lethal combination produces the exact same effect when Sol gets home, me raring to "communicate" and poor Sol just wanting to pass out. We're lucky that at least we can laugh about it together.

On another topic, what's with toilet scenes? It seems that since "American Pie" it's become the industry standard to put at least one toilet scene in every new comedy. There's only so far you can go with creativity when it comes to that kind of thing, and they're all nearly exactly the same. I guess it's a filler for a couple cheap laughs, I don't like them though. It might be prudish of me but I find them embarrassing to watch, besides the fact that it's so predictable and just plain gross.
