My mother: You know how I look nice, fun movies where the detectives solve murders?

Posted by New, Better David (aka David) Oct 6 '20, 12:15

Yeah, I wanted to watch one of those so I turned on Footloose.

But then, I remembered I hate teens so I turned it off.

So, I watched Abducted instead.

(She then proceeds to describe the plot of Shawshank Redemption...but as a love story between a wrongfully accused married inmate and a happily married woman who leaves her husband for the protagonist. I have no idea what movie my mother watched.)

I think the more surprising part of this story is someone actually watching broadcast TV :) -- nm - kilboooooo 👻 Oct 6, 12:21 5
- No, it was either Netflix or Amazon Prime or Vudu. Or some combination of the three. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 6, 12:22 4
  - Well, in that case, you know there's a history. You need to treat this like you're a detective in a fun movie - kilboooooo 👻 Oct 6, 12:23 3
    - I would but they outlawed dancing in my town. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 6, 12:43 2
      - That is my favorite part, turning on Footloose :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 12:45 1
        
        I'm used to following along with mom, but that one definitely caused a head tilt of confusion. - New, Better David Oct 6, 12:52
I will guess The Mountain Between Us. -- nm - Max Oct 6, 12:19
I'm laughing, but it sounds like she saw a good show :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 12:16
