I watch good stuff also. Just so you know.
Christopher: (holding up a recently arrived Netflix) Why’d you order Underworld?
Me: I wanted to watch it.
Christopher: But you’ve already seen it.
Me: I watch lots of movies more than once.
Christopher: Yes, but you hated this one. You rated it on Netflix and gave it one star. Why would you watch something a second time that you hated the first time?
Me: Because Underworld II is coming out, and I don’t remember how the first one ended.
Christopher: ???????
Me: And I didn’t hate it. I just thought it sucked.
Christopher: ??????
Me: Sometimes I like sucky movies.
Christopher: ???
Me: They’re relaxing.
Christopher: ????
Me: Besides, I like to find the good. Even in sucky stuff. Like, in Aeon Flux—
Christopher: You saw that?
Me: Yes, while you were at work. And—
Christopher: Did you read the reviews of that movie? They compared it to an anal probe! They said, ‘Take the worst movie you’ve ever seen and multiply it by Pauly Shore!’
Me: But that girl from Hotel Rwanda had HANDS where she was supposed to have feet! And there were messages you had to EAT in order to read them! And (to Christopher’s back disappearing down the hall) Frances McDormand had really great hair!
