I said, “Wow, I’m kind of into Nicholas Cage in this movie,” and then I threw up in my mouth a little.

So in lieu of spending all my free time leading up to Christmas fighting with my dad, I dragged him and my mother out of the house to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets, even though I hadn’t seen the first movie, and about oh, say, 10 minutes into it, I said, “Holy shit, this movie is really gay,” and about 20 minutes into it, I said, “Okay, but dude, Nicholas Cage is in it, and–no.”  But then like, an hour mark into this film I said, “Fuck.  I want him and Riley to have babies.”  In conclusion, this, like the Da Vinci Code, was a movie that played into my conspiracy theorist tendencies, love of art/American history, and had dangerously codependent male relationships — Santa has been good to me this year, folks.

    Wow. Today is the day to have gone to see that movie! Also, totally totally gay. But sweet, and Helen Mirren kicked ass.

    Okay, so… because of your review I went and saw it (and watched the first one ahead of time) and I was also surprised by the amount of gayness. I mean, it was pretty gay. Or maybe I mean Riley was pretty and gay and Nicholas Cage was this guy who was sometimes oblivious and sometimes -totally- Riley’s pederastic relationship older man figure who looked really good in glasses and a sweater, which freaked me out.

    Yay…gay men in glasses and sweaters being nerdy?
