I would like to see a movie tonight
Ok good, I can help with this. What are you in the mood for?
Something that will make me feel good. \nMaybe a comedy? Or something inspirational?
No problem. What about something like Cloud Atlas? You like that movie, right? Is this the kind of feeling good that you are interested in?
Yes, I think so, but maybe something with an easier plot to follow. Cloud Atlas is pretty complicated sometimes. I'm in the mood for something a little easier to digest, if you know what I mean.
Absolutely. Let me suggest some titles. First, is there a specific actor or actress that you want to see?
No, any actor or actress will be fine, but maybe at least an actor or actress who is famous.
Famous, ok no problem. Would you like me to check the reviews and see what critics are recommending, based of course on your earlier stated preferences?
Yes, I think that sounds superb. I want something low maintenance, and sometimes the critics give some good direction. I'd like to also maybe know what my friends are recommending too.
I can do this. A quick login to facebook and I will be able to access any reviews or checkins that your friends have posted. How far back would you like me to look?
I think I would like to stick with newer movies, so lets just check the last 6 months.
Ok, you got it. Is there anything else you would like me to take into consideration before I make your recommendations?
Yes, I really don't want to feel sad or on edge tonight. It was a stressful week and I think I am not in the mood for any angst.
Very good. And lastly, can you tell me what length of movie you are interested in? Full feature is no problem, we can find you an extended version of something so that you'll have all even booked up, or maybe I can peruse the indie films, documentaries, and mini-series.
Lets look at a mini-series. Something light, funny, with a famous actor and a shorter screen time. BUT, it will be nice to have something to go back to next time so I don't have to spend so much time with the Assistant.
I am sorry if you feel like we have taken too much time, I will get you a viewing recommendation quickly.
