Marley & Me: Increased sales of anti-depressants?

2009-01-24T18:55:00.001-05:00

We never go to the cinema. Really, we NEVER go. Why, you may ask? Well, we can't really stand having to be around people who have no manners whatsoever. Why should we pay $15 or more to go sit with a bunch of strangers who are talking on their cell phones, answering their cell phones, horsing around, kicking the back of your seat....?

We broke a streak of more than 2 years and went to see Marley & Me today around 2:00 pm. We figured it would be a safe "debut" for us - middle of the day - Saturday - not a brand new release.

We chose to see this movie after watching three trailers this morning. This one looked like it would be funny and it's about a dog, right? We love dogs and wanted to have a good laugh so this was our choice.

The movie started off great. A dog so cute you can't really get mad at him for destroying everything around you and Owen Wilson is also an actor we enjoy. As the movie progressed Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston's life with their dog changes dramatically. Soon there's a miscarriage and sadness. Then there's a baby - that Owen wasn't too sure he really wanted. Then there's a little joy. Soon after it all goes downhill. Jennifer wants to stay at home and take care of her children - yes children - plural. She gets stressed because they now have 2 very young children and she has to do everything and she's tired and she missed her work and her dog is phsycho and keeps waking the children up and then she flips out and yells at Own and......

Well, it basically just got really depressing. I mean, do I really want to watch people fight and be stressed out and sad? I don't go to the movies for that. I wanted to laugh today. We couldn't take any more. We finally left before the movie officially ended- when the THIRD baby came into the picture. Although I think there were only maybe 15 minutes left.

We wonder: How did these actors read this script and say "Yeah - this is awesome! I totally want to pretend that my marriage is falling apart because we chose to have children."

My hypothesis is that this film was actually funded by the drug companies in an attempt to increase their sales of anti-depressants. As if the economy hasn't already boosted their sales.

So Bad it's Good!

After a long period of not being able to breach 3.6GHz, I blew through the wall last night by upping the northbridge voltage to 1.45. I don't know how long I'll run at this awesome overclock: my temperatures need to be controlled better (75 in core on load), but I'm extremely pleased nonetheless.
