ME: I actually did see "RocknRolla" the other night. I didn't feel like doing anything intellectually taxing, plus I have a crush on Mark Strong.
IRISH GUY: How was it?
ME: Well, if you see it, you should really see it here, because it turns out in this country you can buy hard liquor at the cinema.
IRISH GUY: ...wait, seriously?
ME: Yes, there it was at the concession stand, ice cream and popcorn and HARD LIQUOR. Not just beer but LIQUOR. I was like, man, I generally don't even drink, but I obviously have to buy a gin and tonic and drink it in the movie theater, because it's there.
IRISH GUY: Obviously.
ME: And I'm inclined to say it improved the movie immensely. But yeah, it's entertaining, pretty much what it looks like in the ads. Nonsensical heist plots and Thandie Newton and the Russian mafia and things like that. Oh, and all of a sudden there was a sub-plot where one of the characters had to come to terms with his best friend being gay.
IRISH GUY: O.O
ME: I am not making this up. It was IN THE MOVIE.
IRISH GUY: Are you sure you were interpreting correctl--
ME: No dude this was totally in the movie they used the word gay and everything.
IRISH GUY: ...Just how much did you have to drink?
So you guys am I the only one on my flist who's seen this movie? because Guy Ritchie has made the discovery (presumably via his years of marriage to Madonna) that gay people are okay and he wishes to convey this to his audience and it is HILARIOUS.
