Last nite Lauren & I went to see this movie that has brought in over $2,000,000,000.00 in its first four weeks. 'AVATAR' is in 3D & was magnificent. I thought it was too long, but a 'must see' movie. It is a breakthrough in computerized digital blah blah, of which I know nada. James Cameron wrote & directed it & it was four years in the making.........Anywhoooooo, it was well worth the time & money.
As we stood in line to purchase our popcorn & drinks, a conversation taking place right behind us just flabbergasted me. Popcorn & drinks can be purchased individually, or in penny saving combos such as 'The Fred & Ginger', (referring to Fred Astair & Ginger Rogers), or 'The Bogie', (referring to Humphrey Bogart), or another package I can't recall. The conversation was between a mother & son, approximately 35 & 12 in age. The mom goes 'let's get the BOOGIE', her son responds 'mom, I think it is BOGIE' (with a long O) and she goes 'whatever' & thinks about it for a minute & responds: 'it can't be BOGIE, it must be Bogie rhyming with Dogie....it's spelled just like Dogie'. At this point, I turn to her & tell her that it is BOGIE, named after Humphrey Bogart.......she smiles & says 'WHO is Humphrey Bogart, I've never heard of him. I started to ask if she had ever seen Casablanca, but decided not to go there.
Thinking about this later, I had a negative thought of being so old, but changed my mind. I've decided she is the one that has no idea what she has missed by not being my age. I don't even want to change places with her.
