Hey, yesterday I spent two hours in the Barbie/Disney Princess aisle of Wal-Mart with my three daughters. Ironically, the worst offender of my masculinity was neither Barbie nor the princesses, but “Fashionista Ken,” the various incarnations of which need to be displayed near the Miami Marlins home-run…thing in order to reach their full potential.
My wife assures me that my manhood is intact, but I’m going to watch a James Bond film and a baseball game tonight to be on the safe side.
You will not die from this. You will be rendered either a chick magnet, or gay. It depends on whether or not you cried.
If over the next few days you feel an urge to update your window treatments, seek help.
I don’t even know what a “window treatment” is. Am I inoculated?
Yep, you’re good. But stay away from Lifetime movies, to be safe.
I don’t have cable, but just in case, I will order it then cancel it immediately.
I think my TV is haunted now because it played the Bachelorette yesterday. Not by me.
It was a trap. Watch “In & Out” to get the joke.
Did you watch it?
TRAP! One for already knowing about the scene, and one for finding the movie to watch the scene and coming back here, and one for even clicking on this spoiler link
Go blow something up! STAT!
What about sword fights? Can you make a ruling here? Some sword fights are manly, as in LoTR, but some are definitely chick-flick material (Banderas and Zeta-Jones in Zorro, swoon).
So long as people die, they’re ok. No wounding and then letting people go.
Remember guys, always, always, have a copy of Predator close by. It’s like a chick flick universal anti-venom. It will bring you back from the brink of Jennifer Aniston’s deep blue eyes.
Og forbid you ever encounter a duvet. Even looking up the word can make you short of breath. I’m watching a 24 episode (the one where Jack tortures a guy) right now just to avoid damage by writing this post.
Uh…picking one of the action movies chicks like (see also The Professional, Boondock Saints, and Suicide Kings) is probably not helping you. I mean, you didn’t pick Sucker Punch or The Patriot, but really.
It’s really hard to find an action movie that doesn’t throw a little sensitivity in. Machete and From Dusk Until Dawn should count, but they have some chick themes in them. I’m all fine now. I changed the belt on the lawn tractor and since I had the deck off I got out the angle grinder and sharpened the blades. Nothing brings out your manhood like a shower of sparks.
Quick question for the group, if Jennifer Aniston actually gets naked in a movie (not just a blurry half second shot of her butt), it’s always ok to watch that part right?
If you’re drinking a beer at the time, yes, you should be fine. But try not to analyze her hairstyle.
Hey! You Again has Sigourney Weaver in it.
Sigourney Weaver was in Aliens.
She actually said the line “We’re going to have to take off and nuke it from orbit.”
It is OK for any Doper to see any Sigourney Weaver film.
Besides I watch iCarly and Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorite movies.
What did you watch exactly? You’re not going to die. Don’t let society dictate what you should watch based on gender.
I just met you. This is crazy. But here’s my number. Call me, maybe!
If you ever try to call this number again, I wil hunt you down and kill you.
… dude, I saw that thing on a store window, I’m a chick and I felt a sudden need for an explosions movie…
Goldfinger should do you good, I think.
TriPolar, You Again has both Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis. I haven’t watched it, but it can’t be too bad on the chick flick scale simply on account of having those two.
