The only irksome thing about it is that occasionally I would come out of the movie shaking my head and telling him how awful it was that we had just lost 2 hours we would never regain - and yet years afterwards he will tell me how much I allegedly liked the absolute worst of those movies!:-) Sons - what's that Paul Newman line from the Road to Perdition? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Ernest Nitka Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 3:37 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Movie Tri-X And.... The Fast and the Furious was a way for me to bond with my 18year old. He kept saying that I wouldn't like it and why should I waste my time. blah blah. Partly he was embarrased that he and I might like the same mindless entertainment. We bonded and now have a steady dialogue about 0 to 60 mph figures and what car I should get next - no not electric but something around 6-7 secs 0-60 :) ernie - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Rob Appleby Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 3:35 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Movie Tri-X BD - you have to know the enemy ;-) Actually, I find most films have something of interest - with the exception of "Shirley Valentine". Oh yes, and Lord of the Rings. Vinnie's recent outing with Dennis Hopper and John Malkovich (forget what it was called) wasn't totally without merit. Just nearly. OK, it was crap.
