Safe House bet

Shy of celebrating our 6th year anniversary, Gary and I decided to do something normal couples do - watch a movie. 

I think 'watching movie' is part of a new couple how-to-date formula - dinner date, movie, goodnight kiss. 

Needless to say, we haven't done that in a while. Let me provide you with a fantastic example. Here's the list of movies Gary and I last watched together:
  1. Water for Elephants 
  2. Transformers (third one)
  3. Inception
  4. The Dark Knight
  5. Avatar
  6. Nine (didn't finish)
  7. Up (didn't finish)
I have this terrible fear of watching movies ever since Water for Elephants. I had a mini panic attack because I could PHYSICALLY FEEL my time being WASTED watching that shitass movie (drama mama mode: on).

So when we were queuing for tickets I kept telling Gary 'does queuing for tickets count as dating?' and 'if they don't have tickets it's still considered attempting to watch a movie like a normal couple right?' as my eyes desperately read: GET ME OUT OF HERE.

But eventually we got the tickets (to be honest I did try to bail out but Tong Pak Fu was closed so we had to requeue to get the tickets heh). 


I'm not going to even bother describing what I think about the movie except for this: 

(the next day)

Gary's friend: So how was Safe House last night?
Me: #pokerface.jpg
Me: ...
Gary's friend: Never mind, I got it

Nevertheless, here's our bet on how this movie scored on these three websites: 
(closest wins)

Gary / Me / Official Rating 

ROTTEN TOMATOES: 50 / 54 / 53
METACRITIC : 50/48 / 52 
IMDB : 5.0 / 4.6 / 7.1


IMDB, 7.1. Seriously? You must consist of Ryan Reynold fangirls. 


Score: 

Gary:  10 
Me: 0
