"A Prairie Home Companion"
So the other night my mom suggests that we watch her DVD of "A Prairie Home Companion" which we'd caught a snipped of in passing on the radio and briefly discussed. I had told her that I didn't know anything about it, but that when the movie came out I remember thinking it sounded like the most dull, uninteresting movie concept I'd ever heard of. She told me Meryl Streep and a bunch of other great actors were in it, so we started watching.
At first I was patient. Then I started requesting that we fast forward over the musical numbers. Eventually we both started doing other things to entertain ourselves while watching—in my case, catching up on some of my Draw Something games. It kept getting more and more boring. Even my poor expectations were not met. Sure, it had a great cast... but it had crappy music, no plot, and was slow, slow, slow. I'm not sure I've ever been as bored by a movie in my life.
We finally both agreed to turn it off and not bother finishing it. She said "maybe that's why I couldn't remember anything about it," [from when she'd watched it before].
What a turd!
