My housemates are trying to drag me to go see Step Up 2.
Do I:
a) go with them, spend money on a film I have no desire of experiencing, and forget the whole thing ever happened.
b) stay at home and mope, while my housemates complain that I never do anything with them anymore.
c) go with them and complain about it the whole time.
or d) other (please specify)?
(Hello hour delay in posting...)
C
or D - Burn down the cinema
My ex housemate
dragged me to see St Trinians . Utter shit it was but gets me out the house. Been to cinema 8 times this year
C) unless they are pretty touchy
about their tastes in films.
or
A) cos that film looks so bad, then tell them it looks like a terrible film and you will go with them another time to somat better.
D) Get drunk and go with them so you dont remeber the film anyway and still hang with them.
4)other
go with them and have to admit you are wrong, Step up 2 the streets is amazing.
stay at home
and tell them you are staying at home because it looks like a shit film, but if they'd like to go and see another film you would be happy to go, but being a student you can't really afford to spend money on something which looks like a painful way to spend an hour and a half.
d) just go!
:)
d)
Find something else to do that night, giving you a convenient escape plan.
go out, do something else.
then arrange something else with your housemates.
b) obviously.
You'd hope your flatmates'd understand. It's just not going to see a film you wouldn't enjoy and it's not like they'd talk to you during it anyway. Why not arrange to meet them after and go for a drink or something instead?
This
is the option I've plumped for, having used the excuse that "Yes, I don't really want to see the film, but I've got to get this essay done for tomorrow, honest."
My only worry with meeting them afterwards is how much the conversation will be dominated by how great/awful the film was...but Nandos was discussed, and I *am* hungry.
To be honest
it doesn't really sound like a film where there's gonna be an awful lot anyone can say about it.
A
Or if you REALLY don't want to go, suggest going to see another film instead. Or something different completly another time so they know you're not just avoiding them/
Just don't go.
I've refused to watch crap films many a time.
