2. Specifically, the ghoul-faced nuns.
2. Okay, SOLELY the ghoul-faced nuns. I really do want to see the movie, but for the ghoul-faced nuns. Whither the nuns, Affleck?
3. The fact that I need to walk through a tunnel in Grand Central Terminal early each morning while basically half-asleep, and every day -- EVERY DAY -- I completely forget that the ghoul faced-nuns are there, on my left, and then I get startled. And since I'm so tired I'm essentially in REM sleep while I'm walking by, it's that much more frightening. OH ALSO A SECOND POSTER APPEARS 10 FEET LATER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
4. La la la la laaaaaa OH GOOD LORD WHYYYYYYY.
OH NOOOOO, THE SECOND ONE, NOOOOO.
5. EVERY DAY, PEOPLE.
6. I mean, surely there are OTHER aspects of the film to showcase, amirite?
7. The fact that a few weeks ago, J showed me a new zip-up jacket thing he got for football season, and asked me if I liked it, and I replied, "Was it hard for you emotionally when you knocked on Will's door, and it turned out he was gone, because he had to go see about a girl?" And I was SO PROUD of my clever joke (because the jacket looked like something Ben Affleck's Good Will Hunting character, Chuckie, would wear, you see), and then I had to EXPLAIN my reference, and yes, said reference is about 13 years too late, but it was AWESOME, and you would understand, had you seen the jacket thing.
8. Okay, that's not really Ben Affleck's fault, per se, but he's involved, so here that shall stay.
9. And while we're at it: I will continue to be creeped out by the animal cracker scene in Armageddon for the rest of my days.
10. THIS, less than a block away from my office, spotted earlier today. STOP THE MADNESS, AFFLECK.

i totally agree! i haven't seen the ads, just the commercial, and it freaks me out every. single. time.
I was raised by ghoul-faced nuns. They found me in the woods and took me in, told me I was special and that one day I would do great things for this world. Those ghoul-faced nuns gave me a sense of purpose.
But then I told them I was in my thirties and that when they'd found me I was on a camping trip with my buddies.
In my defense, I was pretty drunk. But so were the nuns.
Oh my gosh. the ghoul-faced nuns must be put to a stop!
and I agree about the animal crackers. totally creepy.
There are no ghoul-faced nuns in Phoenix. Just sayin'.
It won't surprise you in the least that I picked up on the Good Will Hunting reference immediately. Who needs to see the jacket? That is GOLD, baby.
That commercial seems to come on every time my 2 year old happens to pay attention to what we're watching. She makes me turn off the tv, saying, "Too scary!"
I totally agree. Especially the way they randomly flash them on the screen. I'm glad I don't have to see posters everywhere, though. Living in the sticks has its advantages afterall!
i had somehow avoided these ads but now? now i know i'll be dreaming (nightmaring) about tonight, thanks.
I have not seen the posters or the previews. And now I feel as if I should Google it because WHAT THE HELL IS THAT MOVIE ABOUT?
I went to see Armageddon not once but TWICE in the theater (I was a sophomore in college and did not know any better) and then I bought the soundtrack (shame on me) so that I could listen to 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' over and over again and the cd ALSO had the Animal Crackers scene included on it. RIDICULOUS.
Does it help to aveal your fright to know that those aren't ghoul nuns, just bad dudes dressed as nuns with a ghoul mask on?? Bank robbers I think?
So see, just silly boys.
Okay that was a really snappy comeback. I got it right away and laughed out LOUD in my office.
I hope that small confirmation to your hilarity off-sets the creepy nuns.
I love your Good Will Hunting reference. And the animal cracker reference (which I too find really creepy - although that movie makes me cry. every. single. time.). And the fact that - aside from the nuns - there's pretty much nothing Affleck's done worth mentioning since Armageddon.
I'm with you (and J. Lo and the rest of America) on the Blame Ben Train---but Jon Hamm is in the movie, too, so there's that.
i everything want you see go to ready love you keep yourself said hot sex 90 vh1 joy watkins pokemon red and blue versions nintendo gameboy.
So, um, don't visit Pandora today if you don't want to unexpectedly see that nun mask thing again. It's everywhere!
I'm SO excited to see this movie, but I totally agree. LOSE THE CREEPY MASKS, BANK ROBBERS.
Those masks actually remind me of The Strangers, which if you haven't seen that movie, DO NOT Google it.
That animal crackers scene was cute and sweet!
Don't disparage my Armageddon.
I, too, find that image very creepy. But the marketing is working because I want to know WHY they are wearing those masks. Damn, marketers!
My family and I were driving through Manhattan a couple of weeks ago and there was a giant billboard for this movie a block or so from the Williamsburg bridge. I don't think I shock easily, but it really was shocking and I kept hoping my little kids wouldn't notice it.
Seriously with the Pandora takeover of this stupid movie. It was the backdrop today no matter how many times I refreshed, and since my kids like to "watch" the music we are listening to, they were peeking at it all day. I'm expecting three of them will find their way into my bed tonight just from the memory. Ben Affleck can kiss my ass.
Those nuns are creepy. I would like to add that Ben Afflec was in Gigli and that movie was horrible. And also his character was named Larry which was just lame.
I haven't heard of the movie OR seen those ads. And that doesn't make me sad at all, because OMFG, those nuns look terrifying.
I totally got your reference, because GWH is one of my favorite movies of all time.
How bout them apples?
Congrats on the new job and happy early birthday, lady!
Also: I feel like I really need to call Emily and ask her WHYYYY it's taken so long to give up on LiLo. My word, that girl defines HOT MESS.
