Should be interesting
So, one of my closest friends, and regular cinema-going partner has just rung up and suggested that we go and see a film Friday night. We're going to one of the cinemas near me because the tickets there are about a third of the (extortionate) price of a West End cinema ticket.
"I wouldn't mind seeing the new Mel Gibson movie," he suggests. Five minutes later, following Mandragora's explanation that Gibson is a member of a whacked-out religious sect and that the film is all about blood and guts he agrees that perhaps Mel won't be getting any of our money after all.
So, we discuss what else is on. Alas and alack, (what? I'm trying for pathos here) really the only thing that is on that suits both of us (him rather reluctantly) is Starsky & Hutch... Which I saw last Saturday. Not that I told him that.
I look on it as research. I'll be checking out the reactions of very open minded, not to mention sexually adventurous, but most definitely straight male friend to the film as opposed to the slashy mob who I saw the film with on Saturday. I'm sure it'll be sociologically fascinating ;)
Am also somewhat reassured in reading LJ entries of various people on my friends-list that they too have seen the film in the company with men and that the blokes enjoyed it too. If nothing else I know my friend will enjoy a certain scene involving a couple of cheerleaders. *g*
