Why David Tennant is bad for America
So, this morning I finally pre-ordered my Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD Fright Night combo pack (not that we have a 3D television or, indeed, a TV that we're positive will work with a Blu-ray player, see conversation below), and today Mr. gin and myself are going Blu-ray player shopping, which led to the following conversation:
Mr. gin: "So, just so you know, I'm not sure if our TV will even be compatible with a Blu-ray player." (it's a WAY older TV. Made by Daewoo, to give you a clue.)
Me: "True. Well, if all else fails we could always get a new TV with any Christmas money we get this year."
Mr. gin: "So now we're buying a Blu-ray player and a new TV just for this damn movie? Didn't E offer to give us a TV awhile back?"
Me: "Yeah she did, but it wouldn't fit in our entertainment center." *thinking* "That's a good point actually: any new TV we get probably won't fit in our entertainment center."
Mr. gin: "So now we're buying a Blu-ray player, a new TV AND A NEW ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, just so that you can watch Fright Night?! That's it, I'm writing David Tennant a letter: 'Dear David: Fuck off. Sincerely, Me.'"
Me: "I regret nothing!"
Mr. gin: "He's bankrupting our family! That's it! DAVID TENNANT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ECONOMIC CRISIS! All these women pouring their money into buying shit just to watch him! And the economy tanked just a couple years after he came on Doctor Who! Coincidence?"
Me: "But all this money I've spent on his stuff is going INTO the economy!"
Mr. gin: "Yeah, THE BRITISH ECONOMY! Come to think of it, I'm not entirely sure he isn't responsible for the problems in Italy and Greece as well! IT'S ALL DAVID TENNANT'S FAULT!" *shifty eyes* "He must be stopped. I'm going to build a time machine and go back and find, like, 10-year old David Tennant watching Doctor Who and make him turn off the television. Say 'Hey David, don't become an actor. I hear petrol stations are hiring for night managers right now!'"
:) I'm just delighted that A: my husband has been subjected to enough of my ramblings about David to know the whole story of how he got into acting through watching DW as a child, and B: by his proper use of 'petrol.'
OMG, SO EXCITED FOR THE DVD!!! IT'S GETTING HERE ON THE 13TH! *happy dance*
