Ching on TV
Posted on April 18, 2005 by Ching under Movies, Poker.
We watched a few movies over the weekend: Ocean’s 12, Friday Night Lights and If Lucy Fell (at Jen’s — not my sister Jen, the other one — recommendation).
Just a few comments about the movies.. We watched Ocean’s 12 really late on Friday night. I didn’t think it was as good as the original. As a matter of fact, I actually fell asleep before we got to the end of it. Now that we’ve got it, though, I’ll just watch it again some other night.
I thought Friday Night Lights was really good. I was totally drawn in. I felt sorry for for all the kids who had the burden of the entire town’s expectations on their shoulders. And these people are freaks, too. I mean, geez. I was scared for Coach Gaines. It almost seemed like they were going to kill him if the team didn’t win State. And am I the only one who found Mike Winchell (Lucas Black) totall adorable? I feel sick for crushing on a high school kid (well his character is a high school kid but Lucas is 23 in real life; but despite that fact that I’m only five years older than he is, I still feel like a dirty old hag) but he is so likeable in that movie. You can’t help but feel bad for him and all that he has to deal with. And he is such a good kid. The championship game was really exciting. I was at the edge of my seat.. Or rather, the bed (we watched it in the bedroom). Though I couldn’t help but laugh when Brian said, “Too bad real life football isn’t this exciting.” Brian isn’t much of a sports spectator. Actually, neither am I. Oh, we also found it funny how fanatical the town in. On game nights, all the stores close and the entire town goes to the game. Even when they went to State, the whole town shut down. Brian commented that we need to find us a town like this and loot it while they’re at State. We would make a killing, especially since even the cops are at the game! Ha! Ha!
Watched If Lucy Fell last night in the office. It was cute. Had some funny moments. It’s not one of my favorites, though. Anyway, I had watched bits and pieces of it before but I hadn’t watched the movie in its entirety until last night. Ben Stiller’s Bwick character was ridiculously dumb. And I had forgotten how hot Elle Macpherson is; I hadn’t seen pictures or images of her in a while. I love her! So sexy!
So anyway, you’re probably wondering what the deal is with the title of this blog post. Apparently, they showed my picture in the evening news. No I’m not on the KBI’s most wanted list. There were TV crews at the poker thing over the weekend and they used footage with me in it. As far as I know, only a couple of people that know me have seen it. I’m not sure who anonymous is below (see the comments for the previous post) but Haylie and my mom saw it. I wish I could’ve seen it.
Anyway, I didn’t really expect to be on TV. I mean, they usually only show a couple of seconds and surely they have much more interesting footage to show. I guess I was interesting enough. It helps to be cute. LOL! Kidding! I should’ve worn a Ponderosa Poker Posse shirt and gotten some attention for our band of poker bandits… Or at least written CMP (Crazy Monkey Poker) Club or cutecouple.us (and gotten some visitors out of it) or something on my shirt. Sigh. Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve. I’ll know for next time! LOL.

The Notebook and Other Movies
Posted on March 6, 2005 by Ching under Movies.
Brian and I watched The Notebook before bed last night. It’s really good. You all have got to see it. If you’re female, I know you’ll love it. If you’re male, rent it for your girl. She’ll love it and you’ll get laid. Two reasons why I say that it’s good: Brian put it in the DVD player for me with the full intention of going to sleep as soon as it started. “We need to burn this movie so I can play it whenever I can’t sleep,” he commented right as the opening credits were rolling. He thoroughly believed that the movie would just bore him to death. Believe me, he really tried to fall asleep during the movie too. He lay in bed and turned his back away from me and the TV, he closed his eyes a few times in an effort to just sleep. Nothing worked, though, because he was with me to the closing credits. During the last few scenes, we were both speculating about how the story would end. Secondly, the movie made me bawl. Okay, so I’m a crier by nature.. I’ll let you in on something if you promise not to laugh: the endings of the first Shrek movie and There’s Something About Mary made me cry.. So this really isn’t that difficult of a feat to accomplish.. But I digress.. This movie made me cry halfway through it. And then it just kept making me cry and making me cry and making cry. It’s horrible – that the movie made me cry so much, not the movie. As I stated earlier, the movie is really good. So good in fact, that we’re getting it for both my mom and Brian’s mom. He’s like, “The three of you can watch it and bawl together.” Anyway, throughout the movie I kept thinking I’d seen this girl before. This girl being the actor who played young Allie. So I looked into it today and found out that I have. She played Regina in Mean Girls (which is also good by the way, even if all you get out of it is staring at Lindsay Lohan’s boobies). She looks slightly different with the blonde hair color she sported in MG but her face and those cute dimples are unmistakeable. And I would’ve been able to place her if I didn’t have a killer headache. This was a blind addition to our Netflix so I really had no clue who would be in it. I knew nothing about the plot. I never saw any of the movie trailers. I think I heard someone say it was good in passing and added it to my Netflix list. I knew absolutely nothing about this movie. It just came today as the movies normally come and we popped it in and watched. At any rate, while looking into movie details, I also discovered that this movie is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks. And if you can recall A Walk to Remember, another movie that made me bawl, is based on another one of his novels. Anyway, I’m temped to watch Message in a Bottle, which is a movie adaptation of yet another Nicholas Sparks novel, but I’m not particularly fond of Kevin Costner so I’m not altogether convinced that I will enjoy it. Has anyone else seen it? Any comments?

Elektra
Posted on January 15, 2005 by Ching under Movies.
Well, Elektra was a disappointment. After having watched Phantom of the Opera last week, which was so well-done, I probably just expected too much. It was a little too cheesy for my tastes. The only good that came of the two hours I wasted is that I got a new halloween costume idea.   Â

Carded at the Movies
Posted on December 11, 2004 by Ching under Life, Movies.
I should be in the freakin’ movie theater watching Blade Trinity right now. After all, Brian bought our tickets this morning and everything so we wouldn’t have to fall in line at the box office. We left Abuelo’s in plenty of time so that we could be at the movie theater by 3:30 pm, get our snackies and secure good seats.
When I say good seats, I mean right smack dab in the middle. I MUST sit in the middle. I count the number of seats and everything. Yes, I’m psychotic like that. I absolutely can’t stand not being in the middle when I watch movies.
So Brian goes, “Do you want to go get our seats?”
At first I was like, “Nah – I’ll just wait for you.” But then I changed my mind when I saw the line for concession. I figured I had to get our seats before someone else grabs them. I gave Brian a quick kiss, took my movie ticket and headed to the ticket boy.
“Are you seating for Blade Trinity yet?” I asked.
He goes, “Yea – but I need to see your ID.”
“What do you mean?”
“I need to see your identification,” like I didn’t know what ID stood for. What a dumb turd-bucket!
“Are you serious?” I was going to tell him how old I am but for some reason I can’t ever remember my age when I’m put on the spot. I hate that!
So all I could say was, “But I’m [uh..] old!”
I mean, how can you not fucking tell I’m over the age on 18? I’m almost 30! I have wrinkles! I have cellulite! Yes, I still have baby fat but I’m fucking OLD!! Ugh!
He counters, “But I can’t tell that.”
With a sigh of resignation I replied, “I don’t have my purse on me. I’ll have to go get it.”
Anyone who knows me knows that I NEVER EVER bring my purse anywhere that I go with Brian. If I have to bring my ID like when we go to a bar or watch a movie in the balcony I just give him my ID. Why the fuck would I want to lug around a purse when I know I’m not going to need anything in it? Brian didn’t tell me that I needed to bring my ID so I didn’t have it on me. We would have to drive all the way back home to get it and come back. What a pain!
I return to Brian who hasn’t moved an inch in the concession line.
“Let’s go get our money back,” I tell him.
“Why?”
“The ticket boy carded me and I don’t have my ID. We’d have to go back home and come back and I really don’t want to see the movie if I have to sit in BAD SEATS.”
Brian was pissed off because he really wanted to see the movie but he really couldn’t do anything because I had my mind made up. We weren’t going to see it because they had already upset me.
He goes, “Did you stumble when he asked how old you were?” He’s alluding to a time during our cruise when I wanted an alcoholic beverage.
It was at one of the bars on Lido and the guy carded me. Of course, I didn’t have my ID on me. I was in a freakin’ bikini! When the bartender asked for my age, all I could manage was “I’m a.. uh.. uh.. How old am I, baby?” Brian still picks on me about that.
“No, he didn’t ask me.. I was actually going to tell him but I couldn’t remember how old I was again so I just said I’M [uh..] OLD! What a fucking douchebag!”
“I can’t believe they carded you. They never card us. I guess if we would’ve gone in together, you probably wouldn’t have gotten carded.”
“Of course, they’re not going to card me when I’m with you! YOU HAVE GRAY HAIRS! They’re probably thinking I’m sure she’s old enough, she’s with a 40-year-old guy!”
Brian and I were rolling with laughter. Picture the two of us in the car, laughing our asses off about our silly conversation. I was laughing so hard I was crying.
I really was ticked off, though. I wish I would’ve gotten that boy’s name and gotten him fired. I really wanted to watch the movie. I guess it’s a sign that I should do my school work. I would definitely much rather procrastinate by watching Blade Trinity than playing on the computer!
That douchebag will pay!
