The Movie Queue

At dinner last night Elder Son asked what movie is next from Netflix. I mentioned that the movies he is ordering are messing with our recommendations. He said, "I'll raise you a Steven Seagal."
I replied, "I'll see your Steven Seagal and raise you two romantic comedies and an English TV series."
His comeback, "Dexter!"
I had to fold. I want to see that, too.

"By the time you get aroung to getting what's left to be got, whatever's left to be got won't be interested in whatever it is you've got left to get." (read it out loud)

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You are the man who killed my father. Prepare to die."

11. Top Movie in the Last Two Years

I think the only movie we went to in the last two years is "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest".


There you have it. We watch White Christmas every year (it is a family tradition, my mother and I could always catch it sometime during the holidays) and mostly know it by heart. Just this morning Elder Son looked out the window, turned to me, and said, "Must be beautiful in Vermont this time of year. All that snow?"
