5 Movies I Rented That Hurt My Manlyness

Category: , ,


I never said I was “all man” you guys just assumed I was.

1. Monster House - Yes this is the animated film that was marketed to kids. The only men that would sit through this would be dads. I’m not a dad nor am I part of the Big Brother program. I actually liked this movie and wanted to see it. The animation is some of the best ever, but the story is lacking a little. If you’re a dude and you like animated films that aren’t Anime characters having sex than this is right up your alley!

2. Notebook - The Notebook is a classic. A love story that’s gone terribly sad. This is a real tear jerker but also make me say “awwwww”. My eyes might actually well up during this movie so make sure you don’t put this film in if I am at a party of yours unless you want to see me cry a little bit. I’m a tender sensitive motherfucker inside..BELIEVE IT!

3. Under The Tuscan Sun - The beautiful countryside of Italy, a single American woman and crazy corny horny Italian men. That’s what makes for a terrific love story. This movie is funny, relaxing and makes you a realize that “hey life isn’t all about all the material things you have. It’s all about the people that are in it, good food, good wine & a place you want to live. Guys rent this and watch it with your girlfriends they will thank you for it. If they say “why did you rent this?” You can say “some dude by the name of greggoconnell.com (make sure you throw the dot com in there so that they will visit my website) told me about it.

4. The Lake House - The Lake House has a really cool story. It’s a love story that travels through time. It’s like Back to the Future meets The Notebook minus Michael J Fox.

5. RV - RV is a family film all the way. Guys stay away from this film unless you’re training yourself to get ready for when you have kids and have to watch horrible films with them all the time.

    Ok u made a list of 5 but what about: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Moonlight Mile, Catwoman, Proof, La mala educaciòn, Chocolat, Polar Express, Bambi, Alexander, Moulin Rouge!, Love is the devil, Amadeus and maybe Brokeback Mountain…?

    if u wanna watch a great movie placed in Italy w. international cast wtch: Shadows in the Sun…
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376181/

    well i’m studing to work @ Pixar animation studios…and I’m not dad… :-)
    Monster House (nomined 4 the Oscar and loser) is a great CG movie like Polar Express(movie by Zemeckis) but u’re right…story sucks (poor Mr.Spielberg and Zemeckis)…well I love Finding Nemo (the greatest pixar movie ever) and Shrek’s saga (the onlyone Dreamwork SKG studios movie that i like) … and Ice Age 1 and 2…

    but the movie that hurts my manlyness is TITANIC…definitely…
    I H-A-T-E this movie…totally…

    1. Own it…loved it.
    2. I cried because I want so badly to believe in true love.
    3. Even I haven’t seen this one.
    4. Again…never seen it.
    5. Own it…only seen parts of it.

    Have you seen Aqua Marine? That’s a totally good movie.

    Dirty: well you’re obviously not a straight male with feelings if you havent seen the above 5 films :P

    every real gay man loves TITANIC (i wanna write in my 1st reply but u preceded me)… it’s gay icon everywhere… yeah i gotta admit Leo (@ the Academy Awards everybody call him in this way) is my secret love…I love him in every movies except in…… TITANIC……
    sing everybody
    —You’re here, there’s nothing I fear,
    And I know that my heart will go on
    We’ll stay forever this way
    You are safe in my heart
    And my heart will go on and on —-

    Haha… You are sooooooooooooooooo gay.

  13. cc1904 May 25th, 2007 12:10 pm

    NO ONE ever thought you were a man. I’m sure Erica never thought you were. You’re more like a future woman in pre-op stage I would say.
