Steph: Are you ever in the mood to go see some stupid new movie?

Derek: Every once in a while.

Steph: Yeah, I saw, I saw an ad for this movie called White Chicks. Have you heard about it?

Derek: Yeah, I heard about it. And I saw an advertisement for it. Those guys look a little bit scary, actually, as girls.

Steph: They do. But there’s always something mildly humorous about guys dressing up as girls.

Derek: Yeah, I guess. If you find that entertaining.

Steph: Yeah, that’s true. I saw a review for it and it got three stars out of ten. But, I still wanna see it. I dunno. I’m just kind of attracted to some crazy, dumb movie. Ya know, something I don’t have to think about.

Derek: Sometimes those are the most fun. When you don’t have to think about it. Just watch it.

Discussion

My preference for certain kinds of movies comes in waves. One week, I will rent a bunch of documentaries. The next week, my eyes will be glued to the latest action thriller. This week, all I want is a brainless movie where I can kick back and not think about anything in the real world.
