A House Divided

The other night Kristin and I watched “No Country For Old Men”.  I had seen it before and kept telling Kristin that she needed to see it with me again.  I think she ignored me at first, but then when it won all sorts of awards at the Oscars she mentioned to me, “Huh, that must be a pretty good movie.” Nevermind the recommendation of your husband. I see how it is.

So anyway, we watched it the other night, and then yesterday she tells me:
“You know, I don’t think I liked that movie.”
“You mean you officially didn’t like it? Or you are just indifferent to it?”
“I mean that I didn’t like it didn’t like it.”
“How could you not like it? Did you get it?”
“I got it, and didn’t like it”

So now we have talked about it a few times since and I feel like it’s my duty to convince her that she really did like it, she just doesn’t know it, because most likely that’s it. She didn’t like all the death and killing and blood and junk. I can see that, but that’s when I tell her, “See, that’s why it’s no country for old men. Get it?” She responds, “I get it, I just don’t like it”. Dang it. I think I will remind her how many awards it won. Maybe that will work.

Did you see it? What’d you think?
