Mega-nerd for Megamind

The fact that I often bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch at work may be one subtle hint that yes, I am still a kid at heart - but the fact that I dragged my husband to the movie theatre on opening night of Megamind in 3D just might take the cake in childlike nerdiness.

I was hooked on this movie from the first preview I saw, while we were sitting in the theatre a few months ago watching "The Last Exorcist." (yeah, what a shift from kiddy animation to horror). I remember telling Kyle "oooh, I want to go see Megamind!"

So as we filed into the theatre, it became quickly apparant that we were the only adult couple there without a herd of squealing children trailing us. But whatever, I didn't feel awkward - I was looking forward to seeing this movie just as much as those snot-nosed munchkins were.

Funny thing is, Kyle and I laughed at the movie more than the sea of children in the theatre. And the parents in the crowd also laughed with us. I loved the Megamind character - his facial expressions and mannerisms cracked me up. Will Ferrell did an excellent job with Megamind's voice. Also, the voice of Megamind's sidekick, Minion, was none other than  David Cross - (aka Tobias from "Arrested Development" = awesome). And the soundtrack was cool - with music from Guns and Roses and AC DC.

I will also note that both Kyle and I were wearing our regular glasses under the 3D glasses - I couldn't help but laugh everytime I looked over at Kyle - I'm sure I looked just as goofy. Double dorky...eight eyes!
