So very "her". And Nina, I think you're right--it tends to be more of an American thing, maybe.<br /><br />Justine, no talking during Dr. Quinn?!? These are strict rules, indeed! Do you live in Sydney? Maybe we should go to the movies together. ;)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969357513275063157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-28934002237746906562011-11-23T21:31:07.858+11:002011-11-23T21:31:07.858+11:00I took my daughter to see Avatar (the cartoon vers...I took my daughter to see Avatar (the cartoon version, not the blue people one) & she explained all the finer plot points to me. She talked through the entire movie because she wanted me to understand & enjoy it as much as she did.

Early on in our dating we rented a movie, and here I was thinking oh isn't this romantic and we're totally clicking with the movie chit-chat, and then he pauses it. I say "What's up?" And he says, "I'm just going to let you finish talking before we start watching the movie again." Oh. But we overcame the significant obstacle and married each other anyway.<br /><br />I think it was when his mother shushed me during a re-run of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" that I realized where he got it from.

Some times a body just HAS to comment or ask a piercing question to enrich someone else's viewing pleasure. Although we watch movies on tv often, the whole big screen thing really is better for some movies. Do you remember when all 12-14 of us went to see each "Lord of the Rings" movies on three consecutive Christmases? Good times! Those movies elicited comments! Now, Mrs. Logue was Lizzie? Totally missed that.delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519073646760104147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-79021055234432607692011-11-22T22:48:05.372+11:002011-11-22T22:48:05.372+11:00Who.. me.... quiet....?!
