Have a period or something!
We rented Alpha Dog over the weekend. Justin Timberlake is a surprisingly good actor (with a perfect body, yow). It’s not the kind of movie I normally enjoy (lots of gangbanger posturing) but it’s an interesting look into their lives, how a person with lots of potential to do good can make bad decisions or resort to inaction out of fear. (Those of you who recall back when we had bought a house and were renting out the guest house in the back, the renter’s boyfriend who gave us all sorts of trouble was as tattooed as these guys in the movie. It’s very realistic!)
Anyway, one of the funniest parts of the movie (though it’s definitely not a comedy) is when one of the girls in the movie finds out that the kid hanging around the house is a kidnapping victim. She begins to freak out and starts yelling and screaming at Justin’s character, Franky. She seriously looks like she’s about to have a stroke she’s flipping out so badly. Franky yells back, “Calm down! Have a period or something, geez!” My sweety and I started laughing because we both are much more emotionally on edge just before our cycles start. As soon as it does start, then we’re mellow and everything is back on an even keel. It’s a funny moment in the movie because it’s so true.
