Heh

Our pal Sleepy Beth gives a review of the movie Into the Blue which caused me to smile not so much because of the film itself, but because of the awesome coolness with which Beth's husband Tim avoids a potentially deadly trap:

First up was Into the Blue. The basic plot of this movie was to try and find as many reasons to put Jessica Alba into a bikini and then have her swim around such that she got a wedgie and exposed maximum butt cheek. After what felt like about an hour, I turned to Tim and asked if he was as bored as I was. He admitted that it was certainly a slow starter. We paused for a second to see how much time was remaining, only to realize that we'd managed to watch exactly 20 minutes and that over an hour and a half still remained. We watched the majority of the rest of it on x60. It went something like, "Blah blah blah. Oh, now they're fighting. Hey, drug dealers. I bet he's bad. Ha! I was right, he is bad. Swim swim blah blah. Really uncomfortable looking wedgie. More drug dealers - hey, he's bad too. I actually didn't see that coming. Awww, now they found treasure." Unless you want unrelentingly boring hours of watching Jessica Alba in a bikini, I'd skip this one. 0 Wedgies out of 5.

Emphasis mine. Well done, sir.

I'm reminded of a funny throwaway line from one of my favorite movies, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, in which Domina notices her husband Senex gawping at the parade of courtesans moving into the house next door:

Domina: Senex! Come away from that house of shame this instant!

Senex: Oh, but Dear! I was just standing here saying, "shame...shame"!
