Comeback Girl loved ‘American Gangster’. Washington and Crowe’s characters were excellent. Shout out to Ms. Ruby Dee. Hell add an extra few points for Director Ridley Scott’s perseverance in wanting the movie to get made and pushing through 2 failed attempts. Yes its true, Comeback Girl made the movie her first date with “D”. Comeback Girl isn’t a fan of first dates at the movies, but thought “D” was hella fine and smart. And Hella fine. Did I say fine?
(Date/Movie recap)
1. “D” liked his popcorn EXTRA buttery and ordered an “insane amount”, with cashier dipping into butter with a large cup and pouring it over large popcorn. Just for the grossness and cholesterol count, Comeback Girl must deduct ( minus 1/2 point)
2. “D” was 6′5 (plus 5) Comeback Girl isn’t that shallow but Comeback Girl who is 5′8 also likes to wear a boot with heels in mid autumn.
3. “D” was you guessed it FINE with dimples (plus 10)
3a. “D” is a Capricorn: Comeback Girl has a weak spot for earth and water signs including: Virgos, Capricorns, Cancers, Pisces, and Scorpios. (see best astrologer who ever lived)
4.“D” was a little closed lipped on what he did. Apparently he is a consultant in the government and works with computers. Comeback Girl asked about a clearance. “D” said it was up there. Comeback Girl asked if it was Top Secret. “D” replied he had a Top Secret Clearance more than 7 years ago in the Army. Comeback Girl could only assume that it must be higher than Top Secret. And after much prodding, “D” finally said what gov’t agency he consulted for. ”D” took all the questions in stride and with humor ( minus-10 No comeback Girl should EVER have to probe this hard on a first date-even after googling the hell out of him. I am slightly disappointed in his previous Comeback Girls he dated saying that “Worked With Computers” always suited them just fine. Ladies we have to do better. This ain’t the Spanish Inquisition but “Works with Computers” is not a profession).
5. Comeback Girl felt major chemistry and attraction (plus 25)
6. “D” commented that even on some weird level he wished Frank had of gotten away with something.(minus 3- Yes I’m Sorry Comeback Girl had to deduct points. Frank got a reduced sentence and actually got out earlier than 1991 (as BET’s American Gangster illustrated) but Frank found himself right back in the slammer for the same drug selling behavior-this time on a “Walmart scale”.
7. “D” and Comeback Girl sat about half way through the credits and “D” gestured to get up and said “You Ready ?”. (0 points deducted THIS TIME) Comeback Girl was impressed that “D” sat this long. Everyone in the theatre had left.But Comeback Girl has this thing she likes to do at the movies and that is wait until the last credit (yes even Kodak Camera) is rolled. I think watching ALL the credits honors the film-making process.
The date ended at a local diner 7 hours later. So yes I guess it’s obvious that Comeback Girl and “D” hit it off even after the popcorn and credits hiccup.

if he didn’t jump up in the middle of the credits he would have earned extra points. MIND OUT THE GUTTER BIG HOMIE.

What the HELL!??!?! Comeback girl had a date and didn’t tell me? I know I’m MIA, but dayum! Good thing you blog about your date….sounds good, so proud. I love the fact D is tall with dimples. How great is that?
And “works with computers”, come on D, anyone with an office job works with computers. Matter of fact, if you’re a cashier at Safeway, your resume could say you “work with computers”, too!
(sorry so late responding to these posts, just catching up!)
