Ever since I went to college I've had trouble staying awake the entire way through movies. I honestly haven't seen the end of some movies in years. And once I watched Pirates of the Caribbean for the umpteenth time and came across a scene I'd completely forgotten was in the movie because I was usually asleep by that point.
So the other night we rented the new Sherlock Holmes movie from Red Box. About twenty minutes into the movie I held my hand up in a stop sign/time-out signal and made Nate pause the movie.
"What on earth is going on?? I am so confused!" I said. I was watching the movie intently but I just couldn't quite follow it.
"Well, you remember the first movie, how there was the bad guy..." Nate trailed off as he saw me shaking my head.
"I fell asleep during the first movie."
"Oh, right. Well, do you remember when we watched the TV series?" I just looked at him. "Oh. Right. You were asleep," he said. Then he sighed. How to explain what was going on?
"Well, basically, there's a professor who is making evil plans but they don't give us enough information in the movie to figure it out."
So with that explanation I proceeded to watch the movie.
I don't remember when I fell asleep. It was probably about fifteen minutes later. I didn't wake up until the end credits. Poor Nate.
