Reasons
Reasons not to watch movies with my mother...
#146: About 30 minutes from the end of the movie, she will tell you EXACTLY what random, cool plot twist is going to happen...but in the most obscure and ambiguous way possible.
E.g. Watching Brokeback Mountain tonight...
"Hey, one of them is going to die...or is supposed to by the end of the movie. Probably of AIDS. You think he'll get AIDS? He went to Mexico...he'll probably die of AIDS. Anyway, one of them is supposed to die."
Yargh.
By the way, this falls lower in priority than Reason #132 which is...she constantly gets up and does random housework mid-movie and occasionally asks you to pause it if she thinks she hears something interesting happening. And if you don't pause, she comes back and goes, "Wait...what happened? I don't get it! What did I miss?"
