March of the Wha?!?
I went to go see March of the Penguins last night and, wait, before you start to make fun of me, please take two things into account:
1) Dan, yes Dan, picked it out
2) it totally motherfucking rocked
That movie is just about the most charming thing I have ever seen. You haven't lived until you've seen hours of footage of penguins walking single file across tundra. No, seriously, it's one of those incredible feats of nature you just have to see. The movie is also educational. Like, I learned that penguins are the worst bird ever and the most retarded animal to ever exist which is not also a marsupial. Seriously, what sort of bird can't fly and lives in the sea? In any case, those penguins are damn cute. Especially the babies, who I was pleased to see look identical to stuffed animal versions. The movie had it all: humor, drama, conflict, inspiration, Morgan Freeman. What more could you want?
(tell me you don't love that baby)
As shocking as it is, I'm really and truly not being facetious here. March of the Penguins was a surprisingly good film which I am impressed Dan picked out and grateful my man took me to something wonderful I never would have thought of seeing on my own. And, damn, the critics even liked it.
Oh well...heed my advice - you've got to go to this movie!

Did you see that movie about birds? I didn't but my mom the birdwatcher did. She said she loved it. I don't remember what it was called... "Wings of Spirit" or "Winged Splendour" or something. Wait, "Winged Migration." That's it.
No, I didn't see that movie. Well, I almost did. Because I was in this documentary class where we had to go to outside screenings and everyone told me to go to that, but I went to Spellbound instead. Fast forward two years and Winged Migration plays on IFC all the time. I started watching it one night and, yes, it's very pretty. And that's all. So, screw that. I was right in choosing Spellbound and everyone else was wrong.
BUT I had my friend Steph over a couple nights ago and an ad came on for MOTP. We started making fun of it based off of WM. Who knew?
Although, in all honesty, MOTP would have been boring as shit if it hadn't been for ole Morgan Freeman. He saved the show.
My God are you okay? Is it drugs? Are you ill? Maybe that actually was a good movie. Perhaps penguins suddenly are that interesting. But I really cannot see how. By the way, your birthday present is within days of being shipped. And my nintendo came. And my nintendo came broken. Never trust the postoffice. They steal my wine, they break my nintendo. Bitches. I am now on a quest for a new super nintendo.

Okay. You've made your case for the penguin. I'll let this one go, and perhaps someday see the feature myself. Considering there is a shark feature at IMAX right now that one would come first if I were forced to choose one, but I will not require a thirty minute discussion to be talked into seeing this.
I think I forgot to tell you that I probably found another super nintendo. I may be able to pick it up tomorrow. This is all assuming I hear back from the seller. But hears hoping for a new nintendo tomorrow!
While I appreciate the sentiment, Morgan Freeman only rocks in one movie. I don't even have to name it. I just have to say,
"YA SMOKE CRACK, DON'T YA?"
"THEY USED TO CALL ME CRAZY JOE, NOW THEY CAN CALL ME BATMAN!"
-LOM forever!
