Hey, thinking of catching a movie this weekend -- any idea what's playing?
Oh, sure -- lots of stuff ... let's see ... Well, there's Frozen II, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Parasite, and another Star Wars flick.
Hmmm ... Parasite doesn't even sound good *laughing* ... not any of the Frozen things ... No use for Star Wars ...
Well, you know what Neighborhood is about, right?
No, but you can give me a hint, right?
*Laughing* Yes, I certainly can. What would you care to know?
Well, you know what I like -- feelgood flicks, animal stories, stuff like that. This isn't one of those slasher things, is it?
Oh, no no no, nothing like that ... It's not scary, not dramatic, not intense.
OK, then that could work. I want to invite Dan and his wife to go with us, and they're lightweights like me.
Yes, this might be just the thing for you guys. You remember Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on TV when you were a kid, right?
Ohhhhhh, I loved loved loved Mr. Rogers!
Well, it stars Tom Hanks -- and you know how the critics love that guy!
Oh, for sure -- I love that guy, too!
Well, Hanks plays Mister Rogers in what is described as a story of kindness triumphing over cynicism and is based on fact.
Sounding better and better.
You think so?
Yes, yes -- I think this is just perfect for our occasion.
Well, that's great! When you guys decide when and where you'd like to go, let me know and I'll rustle up some tickets for you. I'll handle dinner reservations, too, if you like.
