Scene: Manbug just played the trailer from the new Transformer movie.
Me: Did you know that John Grisham admired Shia Lebouf's acting so much that he cast him in his new legal thriller movie?
Manbug: Really, what's it about?
Me: I don't know. It's called "The Associate."
Manbug (with knowledge of his wife's life when she worked at a big law firm): "The Associate"? That sounds horrible! Why not "The Partner"? Subtitle: I make lots of money and belittle people all day!
Me: That doesn't sound interesting at all.
Manbug: Oh, and "The Associate" does? What's the subtitle for that? Film about a guy that works 95 hours a week and has no life? I sit in a cube and look at documents. Let me film you! Here's me getting lunch and eating it at my desk. Until 10:00 p.m. That's a great movie! I suspect the Box Office Totals will be $24.50 for opening weekend.
Me: That's harsh.
Manbug: You forget. I know. "The Associate" is boring.
True. So true. So kids, don't go to law school
I'd see "The Associate" before "The Waxer"
ReplyDeleteI'm probably too bitter about the legal profession to appreciate most of Grisham, although I'll admit to liking "The Firm" and "The Pelican Brief".

ReplyDeleteIt's funny because it's true!
