Jameson and I have cooked up something a little different for you this Sunday…
We’ve decided to start a new concept, giving you our take on a movie, and covering the lessons on life and love that it teaches us.
Being Disney fans, we thought where better to start than with the recent hit Frozen.
If you haven’t seen the film, now’s your chance to. If you have, this might give you a very different take on it…
Question Of The Day:
What film do you think would be make for a good second episode of ‘Sexy Potatoes’? Let me know in the comments!
Hey Matt! This is something completely differnt…but what does men in general think about women with little experience? I’m 25 so I’m not that young anymore….
Never commented on anything of your videos but following you for a while now. I love love love Frozen and the first time i watched it i found some similarities to my own life. Not that i ever fell for someone so quickly that i wanted to marry him and he me, but first is the fact that there is a guy i have a crush on and he is like in the movie described a bit of a fixer upper, but i do just like him anyway. Second, it’s crazy but even our names are similar to Anna and Kristoff. ALso one of my best friends is called a similar name to Elsa. I hope my situation is going into the direction of how Anna and Kristoff ended. Also, i have told him how much i like him and he does like me too but he is not sure if he wants to date me just yet.
In so much new Disney films these days are values much better bought over than before. It even helps me as a 30 year old single ;)
I’ve always been curious how Jameson looks like…just sayyyinnn….:)
Ha-ha, they say never meet your heroes, ergo I won’t be going any time soon.
Great video Matt…I love the new idea about making videos that will be analyzing movies and what lessons we can get from them! You should make a video about Love Actually….please please explain why it is just a dumb movie like you did in the LA seminar last week ;) Also…500 Days of Summmer and The Holiday are amazing movies that you may want to consider analyzing and picking out lessons from them :D
One comment though regarding this video…women are not all cold, and by the way, lots of men are too!! I’m not sure what you specifically meant by that comment…however, if you were trying to indicate how women are in general when meeting new men, I think both men and women equally can be “cold” and should be to an extent….they should have their guards up when meeting a potential significant other… so that when they realize that person is for them, then they can BOTH melt for each other….;)
I believe he meant ‘cold’ as in they get chilly from the temperature vs. men who don’t.
Ohhh haha he meant women always are prone to getting cold, literally. Got it. Thank you! I guess the effects of the mimosas I had at Easter brunch are still lingering, lol ;)
I thought at first the Matthew was saying women are cold too. Don’t feel bad.
It’s always a delight to receive a weekly video from you, Matthew. No matter what the genre; you always provide wisdom, insight, foresight and humor!!!
I saw the film a couple of times recently and me and my son loved it. I was then on the phone to a guy one day and put down the receiver with such a pained look of ‘oh my goodness, how he bores the c..p out of me’! My son who is so cute immediately puts on the trolls accent and says, ‘what’s the issue dear, why do you hold back from such a man’. It’s surprising what they pick up on and how funny at such a young age. It’s great news for that little girl in your video, it’s a huge film.
Best video you’ve done ;)
I ii think the next movie should be Sense and Sensibility…..it has such good life lessons in it. The two sisters are so different. I’m more like the younger….but aspire to be like the older one.
I found this completely entertaining. You just made me want to watch Frozen for the first time even after months of being sick of hearing the annoying songs everywhere. I also wanted to point out, I learned from someone wise to allow men to feel they rescued you. It makes them feel manly even though I know I can do things for myself. Besides, why pay for an oil change if your guy wants to do it for free. Lol
MATT! YOU ARE FOREVER SO AWESOMENESS! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SEXY POTATO VIDEO… I JUST SAW THE MOVIE TODAY WITH MY GORGEOUS NIECE AND CAN RELATE TO ALL FIVE LESSONS IN LOVE… IN A SITUATION NOW WHERE MY PRINCE IS NOT ACTUALLY THE PRINCE AT ALL THAT I AM SEARCHING FOR … I CAN BOLDLY SAY THAT I WILL CONTINUE MY SEARCH WITH GREAT PLEASURE !!! THANKS AGAIN LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
I’d say next one should be about “brave” . Surprisingly , the plot is about a princess who doesn’t want to get married to a prince , and she starts a journey on her own to save her family . I remember watching it in the theatre with my girlfriend , and we left the cinema happy because Disney had done something for women who seek independence .
When harry met sally would be a nice one… I’m still analyzing the evolution of their friendship. It’s like Harry always knew they would hook up & Sally was Always sceptical…
You are absolutely right about “a prince”, the only thing that drives me crazy is that heart is sick sometimes, can’t rationally realize who is worth it and blindly continues falling in love with the wrong person.
Maybe some of us would need a video about how to control our heart :-)
You are right, but evan when you know it you can’t control it. I have the same problem now. A nice guy tries to give me attention, but even if he looks o.k, I am not attracted.But I am attracted to his friend who is heartless and manipulative.I can’t help it.
Great lesson, made me laugh, you sexy potato!
Next Movie – He’s just not that into you.
Saw you in Orange County, loved the seminar and I got to see Jameson.
Around 6:49: “In my experience, women are always cold.”
I heard you pulling an Elsa eyebrow there, singing how the cold never bothered you anyway ;-)
the original power rangers movie
@ 8:45 – Ariel went on to have a daughter named Melody and quite the successful marriage with Prince Eric. As seen in the Little Mermaid 2. Pocahontas went to England and married some other guy and fixed the historical inaccuracies of the first Disney film while raising many, many more. Cinderella and Aurora had to fight for their love at least 2 more times in their subsequent films. Belle and Adam had a more realistic relationship since Adam was a fixer upper to begin with. Mulan spent half of her second movie believing that she was a widow only to discover that Shang was okay. Jasmine and Aladdin worked everything out in movies 2-3 (and a cartoon show). Only Snow, Tiana, Mereidah, and the Amy Adams princess have not had any discernible follow up.
Hello! Saw you and Jameson in L.A. Good timing! I just saw Frozen a few days before receiving this Sexy Potato video. Yes, Disney is slowly moving away from the traditional girl “heroine” figure where her only way to a happy ending was to be rescued by a handsome guy and get married. Yeah, I still hold on to that fantasy just as tightly as if I stuck my tongue on a frozen pipe. LOL. At least, Disney’s female characters are beginning to be shown as intelligent, brave and capable problem solvers. Well done on using the movie Frozen for your first sexy potatoes commentary. That movie certainly broke the mold on what was the typical fairy tale story. More please!…from Disney and Sexy Potatoes. BTW, loved the outtakes. Never liked The Little Mermaid especially the original, non-Disneyfied version. I still don’t understand why the original version is touted as “the much loved children’s story”. As for your comment that women are always cold…Correction: the women you men are attracted to appear cold. I have friends who look like models. They get hit up all the time despite the fact they appear cold and aloof. They developed that cold facade just because they’re sick and tired of being approached by men all the time. And, appearing cold is their way of discouraging them. Friendly-faced Slugs like me with the “nice smile”, good teeth, good hygiene sorta get ignored. I’m not putting myself down. It’s just I’m resigned to the fact that men are attracted to beauty–cold or otherwise. So, the best defense is to be the best I can be, live my life and maybe along the way, I’ll Get the Guy. ;)
You always make me laugh!! Never stop! Lol :D
