Word on the street: Men's opinion of period films
The scene: The YMCA weight room. I am doing some crunches. Three young muscleheads in tanks are talking behind me.
Guy 1: So she asked me to run out and get a movie, and she wanted one of those, you know, period films. And I was like, oh no, not that s***.
Guy 2: Oh no, man.
Guy 1: Nothing ever happens in them, you know? I keep trying to tell her it's bulls*** ...
Guy 3: Yeah, seriously dude. It's just people in costumes acting proper or some s*** like that. There's no story or anything.
Guy 2: I don't get it. I really don't. They're so boring.
Guy 1: And you know it's f***ed up when they try to make that type of thing into a pop movie. You know, there was that one about ... um ... you know, 'let them eat cake'?
Guy 2: Marie Antionette.
Guy 1: Yeah, her. It was historical, right, but they made it modern too. And it just didn't work.
Guy 3: Yeah, that movie suuucked.
(moment of silence)
Guy 1: I just don't get it, man.
Guy 2: Me neither.
Guy 3: It's such s*** ...
The End.
