I haven't watched either movie so I can't say, but judging from the titles and your "supreme alpha male" comment, I'd say these are probably not a good fit.

Less than 1 foot behind the monitor I am looking at is a framed large poster (not sure of measurements but I'd guess 3 feet by 5 feet at least) of "It's A Wonderful Life".

I asked Dan once where he lived. He was bragging about his home that was climate controlled, no wind, and was on ground level....I said "You mean under a rock?"

Why do Dan and I have to be sitting in a tree to kiss? Why can't we be on bended knee or holding a key?

Oh, yeah, snakes don't have knees or hands to hold keys, duh!

Attracted to bad boys? Well, just one and I married him. But I have a lot of bad boy friends and they are awesome to have around. No one messes with you when they're around and they make me feel safe.
