Okay, I thought today was Tuesday. Holidays throw me off like that. So, my bad.
Mr. Assassin and I got Netflix through our Wii recently. And last night we finally watched our first movies on it.
I may never leave the house again.
Anyway, the first movie we watched was…can you guess? Go ahead and try…
I’ll give you a minute…
“Let The Right One In,” a Swedish vampire movie. Now, I know what you’re thinking… “How predictable.”
Actually, it was very good. It was a movie I’d watch with my daughter, considering the two main characters are 12. It could be a great bonding moment. I imagine it would go a little something like this:
Me: “So, she’s a vampire, and she was 12 when she was turned…”
Meg: “What’s up with that kid’s hair?”
Me: “What, Oskar? Well, it’s Sweden. Maybe kids wear their hair long like that. But anyhow…Eli the vampire…”
Meg: “Why doesn’t she ever wipe the blood off of her face?”
Me: “I think it’s a metaphor for the fact she’s a kid and not as inhibited as an adult would be…you see…”
Meg: “Why do all the men tuck their sweaters into their jeans?”
Me: “Really? I’d rather talk about…”
Meg: “This is a long, boring movie. Why doesn’t anyone explode?”
Me: (sigh) “I’ll put in Twilight…”
