Hey webfriends! When I had the opportunity to check out a SBIFF screening of We Don’t Live Here Anymore, a film with adultery in it (among other things), I thought to myself “DATE MOVIE!” So, I called up Matt Steele, web designer and mastermind of the all the inner workings of ChrisMundell.com. Matt is a bigger movie geek than me so I figured he would enjoy the experience which included a visit from Laura Dern! I have a special treat for you… The first tag team movie review ever! (except Ebert and Roper and other ones)
Chris: With out further ado, I’d like to welcome Matt. Welcome, Matt.
Matt: Hey, Chris. Thanks for inviting me. First off, how in the world did we end up seeing this film together? The only special effects I remember were the credits. No droids, orcs or sabers of any kind. Just a bunch of…..drama.
Chris: Good point, Matt. Hey, remember that part where Terry said ‘F you’ to the dryer? Priceless.
Matt: Was it directed to the dryer or to the clothes she didn’t want to fold? You see, dirty clothes just keep coming and coming, just like her marriage problems. And her drinking.
Chris: Wow, Matt! That is insightful. You are smart. There sure was a lot of humping in this movie.
Matt: I’m glad we sat with a seat between us, if that’s what you are getting at.
Chris: What!?! Dude, you’re getting the totally wrong idea!
Matt: Well WHO invited WHO to this movie about extramarital humping?!?!!!
Chris: Listen, man, I invited you because you like movies and my wife would have dry heaved at a couple points there. I mean, I love you but it’s friend love not foot massage love. I just don’t see you that way.
Matt: Well now I don’t know whether to be relieved or hurt. I’ll choose to be relieved. Anyway, wouldn’t you agree that those kids seemed to be really well balanced? Their parents splitting up seemed as easy for them as wife-swapping was for the adults!
Chris: The kids seemed to do the best they could, but you could see the effect of the loveless marriage or the loud fighting. I mean, that kid wee’d his bed! You did look cute in that cowboy hat though.
Matt: What!?!
Chris: The hat you wore. It looked good. I’m just sayin’.
Matt: Well, it is a bit slimming…hmmm…maybe you should get one?
Chris: No, it will just make me look like a cowboy…with a fat gut.
Matt: Maybe you could pick up running like a freak AND smoking a pack a day like Jack in We Don’t Live Here Anymore?
Chris: In what?
Matt: We Don’t Live Here Anymore, the movie we’re reviewing?
Chris: Are we still doing that? Oh yeah. I liked Jack. I think Mark Ruffalo and I could be buddies. Don’t you?
Matt: Yeah. Maybe you can take HIM to your next date movie.
Chris: OK, folks! There it is. Matt and I agree: Mark Ruffalo and I should be buddies.
