I had breakfast with my parents today since they both got the day off (I'm not so lucky). My mom tried to explain movies they've seen.
Hurt Locker
Mom: It was like a war movie where they go around unplugging bombs.
Dad: It was "like" a war movie?
Mom: Yeah!
Dad: No it was a war movie, and you don't just "unplug" a bomb.
Mom: Yeah that's what I said it was like a war movie and they unplug a bunch of bombs. Have you seen it?
Me: No but I saw the trailer.
Mom: Did you see all the bombs they unplugged?
Dad: They don't just unplug the bombs!
Air Force One
Mom: Okay so this guy's president and they're in the plane and they start shooting holes in the plane but the air masks don't ever come down.
Me: (Just wanting to keep her going) Who played the president?
Mom: That one guy, um, I think he was in that tomb movie. Tomb-Something.
Me: Tomb Raider?
Mom: Yeah!
Dad: That was a chick.
Mom: No not Tomb Raider then it was that other Tomb movie...Raiders of the Lost Temple or something!
Me: Harrison Ford. He was Han Solo.
Mom: Yeah Han Solo was the president and the air masks never deployed when the cabin pressure dropped and nobody ever had a problem with getting sucked out of the plane.
Dad: They dropped to a lower altitude so they could zip line. Besdies it's not like all military fighter jets have oxygen masks.
Me: Actually they do.
Mom: Well yeah in the end they get off the plane and the masks never drop down.
The Godfather Trilogy
Mom: It was a trilogy?
Dad: Yup.
Mom: Okay well it was about these wives and they didn't know their husbands were mobsters.
Me: I think that's Goodfellas.
Mom: No no no this one they thought they were garbage men or something.
Dad: That's Soprano's.
Mom: Oh okay well this one they were pretending to be Christian or Catholic or something...
Me: Same thing.
Mom: Yeah but they weren't because they were bad and they go to weddings and stuff and this one guy has grapes in his mouth.
Me: Grapes?
Mom: Yeah he talks like he has grapes in his mouth the whole time and he sits behind a desk and tells people what to do. Then there's a horse head in a bed which really freaked me out and a bunch of people get shot.
