Sarah and I had our first date in about 2 months tonight.  We had a great time, with only one awkward moment the whole night.  Dinner was great, conversation was great, the movie... not so great.  Due to the limited amount of time in which we had to accomplish our date (approximately 4 hours because it is a weeknight and our babysitter has school in the morning) our movie choices were limited to those that started between 7 and 7:30pm.  This gave us a few options.  Our toss up was between 'Superbad' and 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.  We have been avid Potter fans and were interested in the new movie, but the quality of the last 3 left a bad taste in our mouths.  So, we picked 'Superbad' which Yahoo! Movies describes as:

This, we found out 5 minutes into the movie, was a very tame and misleading description of the motion picture that made Beavis and Butthead look like Dorah.   However, I cannot totally blame Yahoo! because I failed to read the reviews of the movie, which mostly read something like,

So, about 5 minutes into the movie, after the first 2.5 of which was spent discussing which porn site the main character would subscribe to (and why) and the last 2.5 was spent discussing various other things which ranked this movie far beyond R in my opinion, we opted to switch theaters and watch 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'.  So - the awkward part isn't that we stumbled into a verbal porn film that we had mistaken for something more along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite.  But the fact that before we bought our tickets I asked the cashier which movie was better, Potter or Superbad - to which I received a resounding affirmation of the qualtity of Superbad.  Here's the rub:  I knew the young man from the funeral I preached earlier in the week.  We had met and talked and I had invited him to come to our new college program - so chalk one up for the Kingdom!
