American Gangster

Good evening everyone. A couple weeks ago I along with my boyfriends went to see American Gangster (a movie based on the true story of a Harlem drug kingpin who goes by the name of Frank Lucas). Going into the movie I heard mixed feedback from a couple of my friends who were able to see the movie before I could. So I was extremely excited to see it for myself so I could form my own opinion. As I sat through the previews with a large fruit punch in one hand and my boyfriends hand in the other, all I could think about was how this movie was going to affect my sleeping habits over the next couple of nights. Lately I have been having a hard time sleeping after seeing really intense movies, my boyfriend is always teasing me about it. The movies opened up to a really graphic scene. By the time the scene concluded a couple of movie goers left the movie at which time I turned to my boyfriend and asked "Why did they even come to see the movie, didn't they know that it was rated R?" His only reply was for me to be quiet and watch the movie. About 15 minutes into the movie during a particularly quiet scene my boyfriend took it upon himself to fart. I was so embarrassed about the situation that I laughed about it on and off for a good 10 minutes or so. When I finally got back interested in the movie it turned out to be a very good movie. It was so good that at as we walked out of the theater I joked that I now would like to become a drug dealer.
