take_this_waltzTrue to my word, here's my third post in a row.
On My Husband's Movie Knowledge
A couple or ten years ago or so I made it my mission to educate my husband on All Ye Important Movie Trilogies Of Our Time(TM). We watched Star Wars (IV - IV and I - III), Matrix, Indiana Jones, X-Men, Die Hard (Indiana Jones as well as X-Men and Die Hard were still only trilogies back then) and, of course, The Lord of the Rings.
My Husband isn't too educated in (modern day) Hollywood cinema - he does know the odd flick like Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon and The Three Days of the Condor, but he'd never seen Doctor Zhivago or The Hunt for Red October before we got together or at least not before I started my educational programme, which, of course, went beyond above mentioned trilogies at times.
Well, we're watching The Day After Tomorrow on tv at the moment, and about 30 minutes in - right in the middle of one of the Professor-Rapson-of-the-Hedland-Centre scenes, he stops, turns towards me and says: "That's that Hobbit guy, isn't it?"
Needless to say, I was very impressed! He does those things at times, you know. And when I broke into applause and asked him how in all the world he knew that, he answered: "Well, I've got a good visual memory..."
