Movies

A little back story on this one...

For a little while my dad went without cable as a sort of silent protest against cable companies.  He fought with one after another about pricing, service, you name it. So he swore them off.  During this time he watched movies he got out of the $2 movie bin at Wal-Mart.  One of these included a film called Mother Load.  I had never heard of this movie before and sat down to watch it with Curtis one night.  It's a dark story and the only thing I really remember is a crazed Charlton Heston crying repeatedly, "It's the Mother Load!"  You can read about it here:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084359/   Now whenever Curtis tells me he's watching a movie my first guess is always Mother Load. 

Also, he has since ended his protest and re-joined the world of cable subscribers; complete with a few movie channels...

Me:  What are you doing?

Curtis:  Well I'm watching this movie.  I've already seen it about 4 times.

Me:  Mother Load?

Curtis (annoyed): No, Lesley.  It's not Mother Load.  It's, um, oh whats the name of it.......Maid in Manhattan.

Me:  Hahaha.   The one with Jennifer Lopez? 

Curtis:  Yeah I think that's her.   Well it was either Space Odyssey, Tombstone, or this one.

Me:  So, you chose Maid in Manhattan?   And you've watched it 3 other times before now?

Curtis:  Yep.  I like to think I have diverse taste in movies.
