I told you how we agree on True Crime.
I told you how we do NOT agree on relaxing to “pops” on our screen.
Now let me tell you about a very niche film genre Delia and I occasionally delight in that may be EVEN MORE DIVISIVE in adult relationships than true crime:
TALKING DOG MOVIES
What can I say? Sometimes we really enjoy a silly movie with “talking” dogs. Like Beverly Hills Chihuaha:
Yes, talking dog movies are heteronormative and reinforce the gender binary, but somehow the absurdity of seeing it enacted by TALKING DOGS is ridiculously delightful.
I am old enough that I remember seeing Look Who’s Talking in the theater when it came out. Which means I am also old enough to have only just now been reminded by looking the movie up on IMDB that Look Who’s Talking is not a talking DOG movie, but a talking BABY movie. So … memory loss on top of bad taste in cinema.
Whether it’s talking dog movies or talking baby movies (or being old enough to remember and old enough to forget that Bruce Willis became a star on the television show Moonlighting and was AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS CAREER when he voiced a TALKING BABY in a movie starring John Travolta and Kirstie Alley), it feels good to be married to someone who is right there with you on all of those accounts.
When it comes to watching talking dog movies with your most-loved one as an adult, it probably ALSO helps to be on the same page with regards to marijuana usage.
