Last night, Keem and I decided to watch Die Hard. We had been flipping through the cable channels the other weekend when Josh was over, trying to find a good movie for him. While he’s allowed to watch some action movies (Transformers, the 3 Ninja movies), we quickly changed the channel.
Josh: What’s that movie?
Dana: That is not a Josh movie.
Keem: That’s a mommy and daddy movie.
Josh: I bet it is an Auntie Dana and Kim movie.
Dana: That is true. And one that I hope to watch with you when you are old enough.
So we taped it (I love having a DVR) and watched it last night. While I still find Bruce Willis attractive so many years after first seeing Die Hard, there is something about a young John McClaine that makes my heart pitter patter. And Alan Rickman. Sigh. Also still hot now but damn, he was so pretty.
I love action movies. For me, a “good” movie is one with lots of stuff blowing up and at least one car chase (or, as in the case of Independence Day, a spaceship chase). Beth and I tend to differ in opinion on this, she prefers her movies to have a plot as well. While I prefer to skip dramas, she can usually convince me to watch them and then I get ticked off if I like the movie. She made me watch The Departed the other day and I really enjoyed that although was seriously upset because it made me find Leonardo DeCaprio attractive and I didn’t like Matt Damon. It’s usually the other way around.
I didn’t really have a point here. Other than the fact that I think Hollywood has spoiled me for real men. How can I date anyone unless they can cock a shotgun with their armpits (The Rundown reference. Mmm, that was a fantastic movie)? Not that I’m actually looking to date but you know what I mean.

Oh my my my! What a nice bunch of man meat to greet me here today! (wipes chin)
Despite my reaction, I’m not sure I want to date right now. I think the unconditional love I get from the critters is pretty hard to beat.
That and they never ask me to shave my legs in the dead of winter. 🙂

Alan Rickman is VERY high on my list of men I’d like to…well, you know. 😉
