I tried to watch that movie many, many times. I never once made it even half way through. I just couldn't take it. Hour upon hour of people sitting around and talking and whining and feeling sorry for themselves and each other. I could only watch for just so long before I'd start screaming at the TV "Shut up and do something! Anything", after which I'd feel embarrassed and turn it off or change channels.

Movie does have one of my favorite scenes in it though (the Ex- wife used to love them chick flix).

 

Kathy Bates is trying to get a parking space, when two hot chicks in a convertible cut her off and take the space.

 

They say "Sorry Grandma! I guess we're younger and faster!"

 

So she slams into their car, and says "That's ok! I'm older and have better insurance!"

"Steel Magnolias" & "Fried Green Tomatoes" ? I like both of them :idk:

 

I don't know why but I tend to like what most guys would consider

"chick flicks". I'm actually looking forward to "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II" (Alexis Bledel is so F***ing Cute/Hot!!).

Fried Green Tomatoes has the best cinematography of the South I think I've ever seen in a movie.

I have a wonderful Steel Magnolias story. It's one of my fondest memories.

 

In college a bunch of us were deciding what movie to see. The ladies wanted to see Steel Magnolias, the guys wanted to see something else with a lot more violence and sex. In the spirit of fairness we had a rock/paper/scissors tournament to see which movie we saw. The ladies won. :facepalm:

 

Afterwards, when asked what we thought I said it was pure {censored}. Probably the worst movie I'd ever seen. Some girl got in my face and said it was because I was a guy and didn't understand and blah, blah, blah.

 

She challenged me to find a bad review.

 

I found about a dozen. She pointed out they were all by men and men didn't understand and blah, blah, blah. She promised me if I found a negative review by a woman she'd buy me a case of beer.

 

I looked in a bunch of papers (this was before the internet), and found the following review, which was written by a woman: "Two hours of fingernails scraping on a chalkboard". That was the whole review.

 

I took it to the media lab and blew it up nice and big and stuck it on her door. :D

 

That may have been the tastiest case of Yuengling I'd ever had.

 

For that reason I have fond memories of Steel Magnolias. :thu:

Lose-win. Way to pull victory out of the jaws of fail, man. Having never seen that movie, I'd still buy you a beer for having the nuts to sit through it.
