Friday Night Law: Cottage Play Lists

It’s that time of year again when work can go fuck itself and I pack up the van full of tiny Laws and head to cottage country. There’s few things I need while on vacation. A lake. Beer. Sunscreen. That alone could get me through the week. However, while some people like to make cottage playlists on their iPod, I tend to organize a variety of movie marathons to be enjoyed by everybody (me). We need a “driving five hours to get there” marathon. A “parents only night time” marathon. A cautious “it’s raining everyday / worst vacation ever” marathon. And various other viewing options throughout the week just because.

So here’s the list of what I’ll be powering through in the next week while driving, relaxing, drinking, napping, and eating. In that order.

STAN LEE’S MIGHTY 7

I’m proud of the fact that my kids know who Stan Lee is. They actually pick him out in all his Marvel movie cameos. Now that he’s a character in his own cartoon movie it was a no-brainer that I’d hook them up. Sadly, he looks like the coolest part of this.

TARZAN

 This is more of a test for my kids. The film currently has one star and is 19% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. If they like this, they like anything, and greatly lower my respect for their tastes. Also, I pray none of them want to go out as this asshole for Halloween.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: WAR

This looks pretty great. I really enjoy every third or fourth DC animated movie. They seem to come out every month. I have to be on my toes here though, the last time I let my boys watch one of these they seemed a little too interested in Power Girl’s rack.

VIDEO GAMES: THE MOVIE

Even though I’m not much of a gamer any more, this one is more for Daddy. The kids will get excited when they see Sonic and Mario on the cover but quickly lose interest the very second a real human talks. Who raised these little assholes?

NOAH

Have little interest in this to be honest but I figured the in-laws go to church and stuff so they might be impressed with my selection. This is how my mind works.

THE OTHER WOMAN

This is another one for the family. My wife and her sister can bask in the girl power while I cringe at Cameron Diaz’s face and act like I don’t notice Kate Upton in a bikini.

 I also have some reading material for down time and poops.

THE HEDGE KNIGHT

My brother bought me these last Christmas but I’ve been waiting for the right time to settle in with them. Now seems better than ever. I poop a lot on vacation.

My beers of choice at this years festivities are Alexander Keith’s (of course, this is my shit), some Steam Whistle, and Crabbies Raspberry Ginger Beer when I want to get crazy. It’s like pop and it gets me drunk. That is pretty awesome.

So there you have it, my entire agenda for the next week. No Binge Cast for me, no blog next week, no worries. I’ll be the drunk guy by the water.
