When scrolling the guide to choose something to watch, there are a few movies that always make me stop scrolling and start watching. They are movies that I can quote verbatim. They aren’t necessarily considered “good” movies, but I love them. When Doug has the remote, he stops on them just because he knows I’ll […]
“I want to see the Deadpool movie.” “No.” “But, it looks funny.” “No.” “I’ll ask Grandaddy to take me.” “No.” “Then, I’ll wait and watch it on Netflix.” “No.” “Why are you being mean? I’ll be the only person in the world who doesn’t get to see it.”
“Those giant birds stare at me when I’m waiting for the bus and they follow me home.” “You’ve seen enough Ghibli movies to know they are more than birds.” “Oh. Ohhhh.” “Sometimes, I have a story in my head and I hafta finish it before I do anything else.” “A is a sweet girl, but […]

“That movie was awesome! I want to dance like Peter Quill does, but Groot was the best. I like it when Groot gets the bad guys and smiles. I really wanted the spaceship to go back and save Peter’s mom though.”
“It’s Memorial Day! Let’s watch a movie about submarines.” “How about something we both like? Let’s watch spaceships instead. They’re outer space submarines.”
As many people do, we went to the movies the day after Thanksgiving. Choosing a movie that everyone would enjoy required some negotiation.
