We watched a bunch of random fluffy movies

The Lovebirds - Stock “man who knew too little” plot, but the delightful interaction between the leads is the reason to be there anyway.

Mortal Kombat - As delightfully terrible as I remember it, but I didn’t realize how bad the martial arts were.

Underworld - Also delightfully terrible, White Wolf publishing was absolutely right to sue them for copyright infringement, and I hadn’t realized Captain Cold was playing the hapless mortal boyfriend.

Burlesque - A dozen Christina Aguilera videos interspersed with two Cher videos. Also I maintain that Aguilera’s character’s actions, up to and including her brain-fogging obsession with burlesque dancers, are not the actions of a straight woman.

Palm Springs - Direct to Hulu starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti; a delightful Groundhog Day spin that’s only mildly predictable.

I really enjoyed Palm Springs, but between its premise and its cast, it would have had to absolutely shit the bed for me to speak ill of it.
