Hovater's Old Blog: Movies my Wife Will Not See This Summer

Okay, so this weekend marks not only graduation weekend for myself and my fellow HUGSR students, but it also is the opening weekend for Iron Man, which in my view marks the beginning of this year's summer movies. Now, as a fan of both comic books and their typically cheesy movie adaptations, I'm pretty psyched about going to see this. Who knows if it'll be great or not. I think the most likely bet is that I'll feel similarly, though perhaps on a more muted level, as I did with Transformers. Beyond that though, it just kind of makes me excited for all of the fun movies coming out this summer.

The catch is that my beautiful wife has made a vow to herself that she isn't going to watch movies in the theater anymore. This isn't for ethical reasons, just her own viewing displeasure. So, since I have not made any such rash vow, it seems as though there are a limited number of options:

1. I will go to the movies this summer primarily with other people.

2. She will break her promise to herself.

3. She will try to coerce me to not watch movies. (and fail at this attempt.)

I'm not sure which pony I'm betting on here, but the summer is a long enough stretch to test her endurance on the matter.

Here are some things I'm looking forward to watching, in no particular order. Perhaps I should make a priority list. I know others will pop up.

I'd also like to see Red Belt, but I don't think I'd call it a summer movie. It's on the edge. Looks good though.
