Movies at the cinema, "always" a “democratic” event

As living residents in one of the continent’s most politically driven countries, my husband and I rely on democratic policies to choose almost anything worth debating for.
The cinema is one controversial matter that always pops-up when we’re deciding which movie to see.
“Chick flicks” are a constant choice in us (women). Always looking for the fairy tale that has the potential to become real and be our saving grace from cinema productions.
Who can stand to see those bullet shooting-police pursuits-action scenes types of movies? It seems that men can, because those are the films that my husband always wants to go see.
So picture this: if in a household you have two members, one being a man (my hubby) and the other one being a gorgeous, funny, loving woman (me)… where’s the democracy in this situation?
A tie-game… and a non-existing democracy… unless (that’s what I love about a democratic system, there’s always a “but”) you’re intelligent enough to withdraw at the right moment and save your energy for a worthy premiere.
In this particular week, we had a girlfriend of mine staying with us and on a rainy day the cinema it’s always a unanimous decision for entertainment.
So I searched the web for movie times (this country can be run with a computer directly from the comfort of your home) and choose the “chickest most flickest” movie ever in the history of “chick flicks” and we headed for the cinema.
I enjoyed the high dosage of love, kisses, pick-up lines and fairy tale… my friend too!
However, you should’ve seen my husband, slumped in his chair, hands in his face, doing disgusted-expressions during the hour and forty minutes that the movie lasted.
Where is the feminine side of men? If it were for my husband’s reaction, I should assume that they definitively don’t have one; or it’s hidden pretty well under all that dark-strong exterior, and on the inside they’re as slushy and comfy as a pillow.
Better not o find out, for slushy and comfy we have women… men need to be macho and stuff.
You’re still wondering: what’s the movie we choose?...
Here’s a hint: There’s always a time and year in life when you can take a leap to achieve something different.
Kisses from a clam, happy as a crustaceous…
Vengeance is a B@#$%, so prepare for the heaviest action movie ever!
