Last night four adults were gathered around one baby for about 15 minutes just watching. We were thoroughly entertained and she wasn't doing anything extraordinary--just kicking her feet, waving her arms and making baby noises. We love Lily!
Saturday night, while looking for something to watch on TV, we came across this movie--THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. It was worse than terrible. It was so bad, we had a great time making fun of it.
1. There was great overacting by a child actor.
2. Kathy Bates, as the secretary of defense, was running around in her power pantsuit and professional hairdo yelling, "We have everything under control." Because, of course, when aliens land the powers that be always have everything under control.
3. The president and vice president were hidden in secret bunkers, leaving Kathy Bates in control. What president does that?
4. A huge storage unit just the right size magically shows up to contain the auto matron that is threatening the world. The U.S. military is prepared for everything these days.
5. Kenau Reeves hatches from some placenta like material to become a human.
6. Someone shoots the evil alien as he comes out of his sphere even though everyone was ordered to hold their fire.
7. An evil government official orders the door locked on a man doing experiments on the auto matron even though it means the man's death. A few seconds later the evil government official wants out because his life is in danger and he hears the words, "This door automatically locks during an emergency." Ha, ha evil government official.
8. The alien (Kenau Reeves) visits a Nobel Prize winner and helps him solve the ultimate math problem. He also gets advice on why he should not destroy all the people on the earth.
9. The people on the earth need to be destroyed because that is the only way to save the earth.
10. The alien (Reeves) decides the people can be saved because he sees the love a mother has for her child.
So yes, it was quite amusing. A good time was had by all.
