Subject: Am I turning into an old fogey?I'm 44 but my wife has always told me my maturity level was equivalent to a 12 year old. However, recent events have made me question whether I'm turning into an old fogey. I've always enjoyed your basic juvenile movie such as Animal House, Porkies, anything by Mel Brooks, etc. and even recently I loved Dodge Ball and Old School. So, I had been looking forward to seeing Wedding Crashers and The Forty Year Old Virgin. Well, I was very disappointed in both movies. They were alright but no where close to being as good as Caddyshack or Young Frankenstein. I thought both movies tried to use either profanity or stupid situations to make up for a lack of humor and plot. These aren't the first two movies of this type that received good reviews and then when I saw them was disappointed. Ron Burgundy and Napolean Dynomite had to be two of the worst movies I've seen in the last year (I know that I'm going to get stoned for that comment). Does this mean that I'm finally reaching adult hood or fogeyhood? Will I soon be driving 45 MPH in the left lane with the blinker on, eating dinner at 4:30 and buying blazers in colors that can't be found in nature? Soon I'll be saying, "Those dang kids" and being the bad guy in Scoopy Doo cartoons. I'm seriously considering desparate measures. Yes, a red convertable, dying my hair blond and getting something pierced. I would have made this a poll but I already know when to go to the bathroom. I justed wanted to share my problems with impending middle age. ERnie |
