C+ Action

Not all of Barcelona was late-night partying and amazing taxi rides. For two straight days, it was pouring rain leading Marissa and me to find amusement in the comfort of my friend's house. While I was looking forward to high temperatures and sunshine, Barcelona was in quite a drought by the time we arrived. The rain was welcome by the residents, so we had to accept it and just try to be positive. Anyway, we had TV in the apartment, so we decided to see what Spanish TV was all about.

We didn't get very far with the Spanish, but there were some interesting English movie networks called 'Canal +' (Spanish for 'Channel'), and in the top left corner of the screen it was abbreviated to 'C+.' This is only noteworthy because the quality of the movies playing on these channels (C+ Comedy, C+ Action, etc.), if they were to be given a grade, it would roughly be a C+. Here's some examples of the movies we watched over our two rainy, hungover days:

Hollow Man II; Bram Stoker's Dracula; Jeepers Creepers; Predator; Bad Girls; Poseidon; Big Trouble in Little China...

This list is incomplete and I plan to finish at a later date.

There was one movie that was not bad even though it had Will Smith, the King of C-plusity in it called The Pursuit of Happyness. That one was pretty good. We could have spent our time watching 'good' movies, as Greg had many on his shelf, but we all decided that all movies should be chosen for us by the good people at Canal +.

So now, when discussing a movie with Marissa, I can talk her into watching it by mentioning the phrase 'C+,' and she sees this (as I do) as a good thing.
