I'm waiting in my car for my little brother, Adam, to get done with work. He works at a local blockbuster and loves the free movie rentals that come with the job. I swear he watches two to three movies a day. I tell him it'll rot his brain but he brushes me off telling me he’s learning from the character’s experiences.
He climbs in the passenger side and tells me he has a great idea for the night.
“Okay, so here's the pitch. We reenact our favorite movie in one single night. They're only 90 minutes each, how hard could it be,” Adam queries.
But before I have a chance to say a word, Adam starts punching himself in the face. I grab his arms.
“What the hell are you doing,” I ask.
“My favorite movie is fight club. He beats himself up all the time. Here. Now you punch me.”
“I'm not punching you! This is crazy.”
“Well, what's your favorite movie?”
“Lord of The Rings, but we can't travel middle earth and fight people all night.”
“I have a ring. We can throw it into a volcano like Frodo.”
While his movie reenactment idea was starting to rub off on me, Lord of the Rings still didn't sound like a good idea. It's dangerous and I'm sure we'd get into trouble somewhere.
“Come on. It'll be just like when we were kids throwing rocks into the quarry.”
“Hmm. Ugh. Fine. Will you stop bugging me about movies if we do this?”
“I promise. One night of fun and then no more movie talk. Cross my heart and hope to die. Stick a finger in my eye.”
