He Actually Wanted To Poke His Eye's Out

My sister Kristy got me started on this Newsies kick last week. She had watched The Prestige and was talking about how it reminded her of when she was a young girl watching Newsies and falling in love with Christian Bale. And then I went OH MY GOSH! That's who that is! DUH! He is just all grown up now. I can remember watching the new Batman movie when it came out and asking Steve, who is that??? And I knew he was so familiar and I just couldn't remember. Steve never having seen Newsies (tragic) had no idea that he was the star of Newsies. Then I remember watching The Prestige and asking the same thing and Steve said "he's Batman" and I was like, "I know, but he is someone else too." Thanks Kristy for getting it all straight in my head. So since she brought up the who Newsies subject I haven't stopped singing the songs from it yet. The kids and I have been listening to the CD all week. So I could stand it no longer. I went out and bought the movie yesterday and declared "Family Movie Night". I kept the movie top secret because I knew that someone very near and dear to me would not be too thrilled to be watching that movie. He just likes Batman so much and I felt like he needed a new perspective on him. The dancing and singing side of Batman. So we watched it and it was even better than I remembered and I had so much fun watching it. Steve on the other hand said something about wanting to poke his eyes out, but I wasn't paying too much attention, I was busy singing along. I just knew once he watched it he would be like, "Honey, that was such a good movie, thank you for introducing it to me. I really have been missing out all these years." But he wasn't. He said it was the worst awful movie he has ever seen and the accents in it were horrible (duh, Jersey accents are horrible) and the singing was horrible and Christian Bale was the worst of them all!!!! Can you believe that? He even asked if we had actually spent money on that movie. Oh well. He said now I have to watch 2 movies with him of his choosing. Ok honey. Like he doesn't know I fall asleep in the first 20 minutes of movies anyway. (except the one we watched last night)
