I love epic movies. Big, big stories with big, big characters doing big, big things. I’m not too fond of Fantasy, but I made an exception for the MARVELOUS Lord of the Rings series. However, my epic favorites usually involve gladiators or roman-era soldiers. Hence my children teasing me. “Mom loves good looking men in skirts.” ”Oh–Gladiator’s on again. Good looking guy in a dress alert!”
This is funny at home.
However, in the middle of WalMart when my child points to a pro wrestling poster of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and LOUDLY proclaims, “BETCHA’D RATHER SEE HIM IN A DRESS, HUH MOM!” –the humor loses something.
I knew she was referring to his roman soldier-ish garb in The Scorpion King, but the 2 dozen shoppers who stopped dead in their tracks did not.
Kids have the best doggone timing, don’t they?
Yes, kids always say the darndest things usually, only while in public. I also like good looking men in skirts as Gladiator is one of my all time favorite movies. Growing up I loved Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur. Now I like Russel Crowe even though I am almost old enough to be his mother…he is a cutie!
I’m with you, Delaney–I can quote that movie almost verbatim! (Although he sounds arrogant to me in interviews. Just put on the dress and hush up!) lol.
Thanks for stopping by!
Watched Troy the other night…I’d seen it before, but OH YES. That’s a good one. Why hasn’t Matt Damon yet been in an epic movie??
I don’t know, but if they put that man in a gladiator outfit I am soooooo there!
See, now I don’t have much of a thing for skirts.. now baseball pants on the other hand…
Soooo, will your hubby put on a skirt for you?
yummmy !!!
