None of us were particularly excited to see the Black Eyed Peas at halftime and their mediocrity was just as we suspected it would be. There is a reason all of their songs are so heavy on the synthesizing...they are all terrible singers. Somehow our conversation got around to the topic of babies dancing to Beyonce's music video for Single Ladies. I have seen a video of this before and found it quite hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikTxfIDYx6Q
We decided to put the video on to see if Owen would dance. Approximately 2 seconds into the song, Owen started dancing! It was really funny and he kept up the dancing for most of the song. He even did a lot of the same moves as the baby in the original You Tube video. I don't know what it is about Beyonce but apparently she has some kind of hypnotic power over the babies of the world.
During the second half while "intently" watching the game we got onto the topic of movies. Wes declared that he has never seen Forrest Gump. In unison the rest of us (not including Owen) exclaimed, "I can't believe you haven't seen that!" Within a few minutes we had each come up with a movie that we had not seen that everyone else (or almost everyone else) had. Thus was born the idea to get together to watch each of the 5 movies over the next several weeks. The 5 movies are:
Forrest Gump
Slumdog Millionaire
Saving Private Ryan
The Big Lebowski
Pride and Prejudice
My vote was to make it like The Finer Things Club from The Office and have themed snacks and drinks to go with each movie. Don't know that everyone else is going to go for that idea. :) I will keep you updated as we start watching the movies.

But Which Pride and Prejudice? Please not the old one with Collin Firth--it's boring as all get out. (and really long).
Nothing cuter than a baby (um, or toddler?) dancing!
