Old people often can't tell you if they've seen a film before, until they are 3/4 of the way through it. The name of the film, actors that are in it, or the story's synopsis are not enough to trigger any remembrance.
If they do remember a film, they will usually get the title slightly wrong. For example: my dad referred to 'Being John Malkovich' as "Inside Mr Malkovich". So close but so far!

Malkovich is one of the great American actors of the 20th century.
Oh yeah? What's he been in?
Lots of things. That jewel thief movie, for example. He's very well respected.
I have love for the new yellow.
Mee too.
What an outrageous color scheme! Some how it seems to work.
It's very 50's or 60's. A 1950's kitchen with a woman who looks like Lucinda Ball using pastel appliances. The kitchen doesn't have much natural light - it doesn't need to with that yellow.
LOL. That's what I was going for. I'm tempted to change the title to 1950s Kitchen.
That would be awesome.
I have a blogging request - can you do a post on your top sci-fi movies? Or on what makes a good sci-fi movie? Or Why Total Recall is Awesome?
Yeah, sure. I've been meaning to do a sci-fi post anyway.
And can do you a post on Russian Ark? (If you've seen it and you think it's worthy of a post.) For me, it is at once the most impressive (a cast of over 2000 actors, beautifully shot in *a single take*) and the most irritating film. The two central characters annoyed me so much I stopped watching it. Margaret and David both gave it 5 stars so I feel like I'm missing something.
I haven't seen it. When I get round to watching it, I'll be sure to post.
Don't bother seeing Russian Ark. Instead, find a queue and stand in it for 2 hours. It's the same sort thing, really.
You stopped watching it Fiona? So you actually missed the queue scene? Don't worry, it got a whole lot worse after you left...
Yes I want two hours of my life back and Margret and David forced everyday to watch twice for ten years.
