I woke up at 2:30Am because I fell asleep during the Red Sox game when it was like 9-3.  Went back to bed and woke up at 9:30Am. Told my nephew to get ready because we were going to the movie theatre at 10:30Am. He really wanted to see The Forbidden Kingdom but I always go see the movie of his choice. So this time, we were going to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He’s 11 but I figure he could handle this R-rated flick since he watches south park, family guy, etc. Plus he’s a really good kid and doesn’t get influenced from movies to do stupid shit. But I don’t recommend you to take children to this flick because there was more nudity and adult jokes than I expected. Prior to heading the the theatre, he was hungry and wanted some McDonalds for breakfast so we did the drive-thru thing and ate while I drove. LOL.

So how was the movie? It was good. I enjoyed it very much. Since I’m going through my own version of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” - I found the movie to be somewhat similar to my current situation.

****WARNING: THE FOLLOWING  CONTAINS MANY SPOILERS****

So this guy Peter was dating Sarah and she ends up banging another guy (some famous singer). So he’s going through the whole breakup phase and he ends up banging a rebound where he ended up crying after because he remember the memories with Sarah. Then his friend tells him to go vacation and he ends up going to this place that Sarah use to talk about located in Hawaii. He goes there and ends up finding out that Sarah and her new boyfriend was staying there. The hotel initially didn’t have any rooms open cept for a super expensive suite but the the girl at the counter Rachel Jansen (played by Mila Kunis) felt bad for him so he gave him the suite.When they walked away from each other at the hotel lobby, Sarah calls him a psycho stalker and Peter calls her a slutty whore or something of the sort. (I’m sure some of you guys might understand why I had to add that in.)

I’m not going to summarize the whole thing but Peter and Rachel eventually hooked up. But there were parts where Sarah wanted to get back with Peter but it didn’t happen. It kind of shows you the phase of a breakup. At first Peter would have flashbacks about good memories with Sarah which made him sad. Then he had flashbacks of memories that showed how much of a bitch Sarah was. When things weren’t going too well with Sarah and her new boyfriend, she started having flashbacks realizing how much of a controlling bitch she really was.

There was a part where Peter tried to get back with Sarah and she ends up blaming him for the breakup because he didn’t go out as much and spent one week on the couch in the same sweat pants. LOL. But she basically said she tried to fix the relationship by seeing a therapist and all this other bullshit. But eventually, later in the movie, she realized that she tried to change who he was.

When she found out her new boyfriend was ten times the jerk than Peter was, it was too late. He had feelings for Rachel.

*******************************************************************

After the movie, my nephew had a couple of questions about the movie. It was actually a scene when Peter was banging Rachel. Sarah heard them (since she was in the next room over) - where she tried to make Peter jealous. He didn’t understand that she was trying to make him jealous so I had to explain to him. But it’s good that I can teach the lil bugger these life lessons. He’s pretty comfortable with asking me stuff which is cool. We have a good relationship and I’m his favorite uncle. There was a moment where he said “I think Sarah Marshall was hot.” ROFL. And I told him I like the dark haired one more. He tried to agree with me but I told him not to agree with everything I say and stay opinionated.

After the flick, we did some grocery shopping. I cooking up this killer Cioppino (a seafood stew) with some celery, onions, carrots, garlic, wine, and a bunch of seafood. But it was more Thai-like than the regular Cioppino because I added a lot of basil to it but it tasted awesome. My nephew had 3 bowls and my sister ended up having 2 bowls. But after that, it’s back to my little prison world. Blogging about my day.

Fin.
