Reason #14

I have got to be Mr. Butler's craziest fan. Not because I'm willing to throw my naked body on top of his limousine (I'm not, I hate road rash) but because given a night free of my children I am willing to pollute my senses by watching the entire Gamer movie just for the scene where he's in the hallway, tormented. And yes, I almost think the graphic violence was worth the wait; his head in his hands, tortured by being forced to kill a friend, he clearly just needed me to give him a big hug.

Don't get me wrong, I'm old but I'm not entirely against violence in a movie, I just like my violence a little less realistic. I prefer werewolves and vampires myself.

Oh, but I will say about Gamer, if you survive to the 'West Side Story Prologue/I've Got You Under My Skin' scene, that one's down right artsy; brilliant really.

Reason #15

I'm an adult returned student to college. This means I have a mature world view but I'm also imbued with a young hip attitude by being around all these young vibrant students.

Okay, that's total bullshit. Being in close proximity to all these taunt young bodies really just makes me feel alternately very old and care worn, and utterly grateful I don't have to relive being that stupid and insecure. And of course recently, I'm rather concerned about their lack of hygiene since I'd rather not bring swine flu home to my family just by taking a Environmental Conservation class.

I suppose this completely fails as a reason Mr. Butler wants to meet me, but as school has started, I'm just too overwhelmed and tired to worry about it.
