The whole family got sick this weekend. It wasn’t the vomiting kind of sick, but the fburning eyes got the chills hacking up a lung kinda sick. We didn’t feel like doing anything but sitting on the couch or laying in bed. What a perfect time to watch a bunch of brainless flicks.
Our weekend movie pass consisted of:
Benchwarmers, Pink Panther, Cheaper By the Dozen 2, Hellboy (after charlie was asleep!), She’s the Man, Just My Luck, 6 Episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Charlie was WIDE awake), Dogs on the Job, The Incredibles, and Spiderman II.
And most surprising, NO LATE FEES! That has to be a first!
I talked to Mike K. yesterday, and he told me that there were several members of the Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana that would like to bring back the Raft Race!
I’m all for risking a case of dysentery for a days fun!
Jumping the shark is a metaphor used by television critics since the 1990s. The phrase, popularized by Jon Hein on his web site www.jumptheshark.com, is used to describe the moment when a television show or similar episodic medium is in retrospect judged to have passed its “peak” and shows a noticeable decline in quality. Hein also uses the “jumping the shark” concept to describe other areas of pop culture, such as music and celebrities, for whom a drastic change was the beginning of the end. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_the_shark
