2/21/22 Finally Got Back To Watching Movies With Our Kid? (part 1 of 2)

     We didn't do much of anything on Saturday, it was nice to not have any obligations for the first time in a long time.  We slept in (well I still got up at 7:00am), Wife made some great breakfast tacos, then we started watching Highlander (we like watching movies from our youth with Baby A) around noon.  I am not sure I had ever watched the first one, Wife was a big fan and we joked that she used to utter that phrase to me all the time "there can be only one!"  This used to be one of her little war cries when we were fooling around or being funny, then at some point she added the Xena "yalalala!" to it.  Highlander was a decent movie, Baby A said he actually enjoyed it.  I thought the bad guy, Kurgan, was much more entertaining than the hero, Connor Macleod, who walks around the whole movie with a sour puss on his face.  The idea of gaining someone's power by decapitating them is a cool premise and them existing as immortals makes the story even more fun.  The special effects were a bit horrible, but in their own way, kind of great for the time.  There was no reason a car would ejaculate its oil because of a street fight, but again, different time.

    Because we were relaxing, we did stop the movie somewhere in the middle, I fell asleep after eating my breakfast, then Wife also took about a two-hour nap.  It was nice, we didn't even have a formal dinner, the evening came, and we sort of just poked around the food.  We had an extra pizza from the night before which I put in the oven at 5:00pm, then Wife heated up some tamales around 7:00pm, and even Boy went and got food near 10:00pm and he got us some gyros, which were delicious, packed full of beef and lamb.

    After we finished watching the last of Highlander in the evening, Baby A was sitting with us, and he was about to leave back to his room (he had spent the time we napped writing a paper for a class), when we saw the title "Llamageddon" on Prime Video.  We saw 10 seconds of the trailer and had to watch the movie.  It was so bad it was good.  As you would have guessed it, a llama from another world crash lands on Earth (in a modified red trailer with wings) and starts killing people.  This would have definitely qualified as a B movie back in the day, I don't know that I could have watched stuff like this when I was younger, I used to take things too seriously.  Through the eyes of Mijo, though, I can see that this is the campiest of shit.  Most every teenager gets murdered, but it's a llama, so it's still kind of ridiculous.  It stomps a couple of people to death, and you can about see the efforts of someone stomping with fake furry legs.  In a couple of scenes, you can even see the cameraman in mirror reflections.  Like I said it was such a bad movie, it was kind of cool, it also only lasted 50 minutes, so about the time it was getting silly, it ended.
