Horrible Bosses (2011)

So, some movie trailer making magician cut this movie into looking like a modern comedy worth watching...and we tried.

My husband, who has the energy and passion to watch films, finished it.  I, however, who have energy and passion for REAL life and REAL laughter, could not.  At some point in the movie (I think I made it about 40 minutes, but only because I was eating and watching at the same time -- bad habit from childhood), I shut it off.  Literally.  I'd had enough and I shut the computer down we were watching it on.

Here's what I have to say about this:

Dear Hollywood Mult-millionaires,

The working people of America are NOT stupid.  Stupidity is NOT what keeps us in our jobs every day.  We work to earn money to pay for the moments when we are not working.  Period.  Some of us are lucky enough to have jobs that we loved.  All of us deal with office politics.  All of us roll our eyes at our bosses once in while. Some of have horrible bosses.  Those of us who do, are intelligent enough to use the legal methods and safeguards in place and we don't need Hollywood to tell us that the worker bees of America are the real idiots here.  Making a movie that demeans the working class by stating on film that we're too stupid to make phone calls, do research, or be decent to others is NOT okay.  This movie didn't even have ONE good laugh in it.  The racist bar scene was painful.  The live porn at work scene was ludicrous.  Do you people even LIVE in the real world?  Do you know that there are working class citizens that laugh everyday and don't need to be stupid to do so? Do you realize that America is learning to vote with its paycheck and if you keep making movies like this, we will no longer spend money to OCCUPY your movie theatres? 

Who's the stupid one now?

Sincerely,
One of America's Employed

Dear Ms. Aniston,

Please. Please. PLEASE, stop reading the tabloids.  You are your own kind of beautiful.  And, no matter what a make-up artist/movie director/production con artist says, you will NEVER be Angeline Jolie Brand of sexy.  You have to find your own.  Darkening, lengthening, and "banging" your hair, tanning your skin, wearing more eyeliner, and busting out with the push up bra/booty padding is NOT going to make you Jolie Brand sexy.  It just won't.  Hers is in the eyes.  And yours just don't sell it.

Your friend,
Another girl born in the year of the Rabbit, just like Angie

Dear Husband,

Darling, I do not have heart beats to waste on cinematic filth like this.  In the future, use your "pre-screening" time to just kill it before I get there.  Seriously, I would rather have been fighting with you about something important and hoping for makeup sex afterward.

Lovingly,
Your ovulating wife

'Nuff said.  If I have time for a movie today, it'll definately be Independent or BBC.
