Pink Station Wagon of Repressed Bad Memory

Superman should have never returned. He should have definitely stayed away. A couple nights ago I experienced my first drive-in movie. I think I'll wait a while before going again. I went with three other people, to see Superman Returns for the sole purpose of laughing at it. I think we might have been able to mock that movie more had it not been that all four of us were jammed in the back of my brother's pink station wagon trying to see the screen through the small back window, with defrost lines. Before the movie had even begun, every pane of glass in that car had fogged up as the temperature kept getting hotter and hotter. I had to wipe the window down every couple of minutes with my sweater so that we could still have some visual. Then we decided we should open some windows to let some air in. I think the only thing we let in was swarms of mosquitos. By the time two and a half hours of this had ended the car not only had developed a strange smell of B.O. but my legs were so cramped from sitting in such a confined space that I doubted I would ever be able to walk without a limp again. At least there was a plus side. I didn't have to have a crappy experience watching a movie I actually liked. Who decided some alien in spandex not wearing his glasses qualified as a superhero anyway?

Well, I happen to think that sounds like the most fun you've probably had in years. I mean really, who doesn't want to be squished in a pink car watching some doofus in spandex on a big screen while trying to breathe and swat mosquitoes and not let the person beside you know that they stink way more than is pysically healthy.(that's a really long run on sentence). Sounds like something I should try sometime in the very near future, sure to be a blast... blast and a half even... KABOOMKA!!

Superman Returns was a good movie.

Batman are you saying that if I took off my glasses and wore spandex you wouldn't think I could save the world?
At least you have current movies over on your side of the world :)

Hey!!! What the hell Heather?! I thought we agreed, what happens in the wagon stays in the wagon?

In addition, Patita isn't a run on sentence a long one? Who ever heard of a short run on sentence?!

Yeesh...

HAHA. my bad peter. Patti, it was actually a lot of fun but I think I can safely say I've had more fun than that in years. Erika, you could save the world with one hand tied behind your back and 100 pounds tied to your right leg, so taking off your glasses and wearing spandex should be a breeze. Jason, you really need to stop taking crack.

ITS OK...

That's just it tho!! I do like superhero movies. I absolutely loved the first two x-men movies and the first spiderman movie, and I liked batman begins, despite the fact that his bat suit was WAY too tight and made his face bulge out the front.
