Downhill Daredevil

The Perfect Compromise

I can barely contain my excitement over the Tron movie. The more I think about it, the original Tron is one of the very few movies that Aimee and I can both thoroughly enjoy together as it is the perfect blend of Sci-Fi, action, Disney, geek, and 80's. Hopefully Legacy will bring Aimee and her socks along with it into the present day ;)

Check it out:

Dude, that show is intense!

Aimee and I have found that our favorite way to watch TV is waiting until about the 5th season, and then watching previous episodes on DVD. Recently we started watching 24 and while Aimee has been a little put off by the shock value thrown in by the producers, I've enjoyed it quite a bit.

Last night we had a lazy family night going out to 'Sweet Tomatoes', playing Wii, watching Avyrlie do stunts off the couch, and then eating snacks and watching 24. Aimee lasted about 30 minutes (all of which she spent glued to Facebook and Chelsi's Twitter feed) but Ian and I stayed up to watch all four episodes on the last disc of Season 1.

It's pretty rare that he gets into a TV show and he was very into this one. For those of you who haven't seen the end of Season 1 (yeah, it was probably just me) stop reading here.

At the end of hour 10 episode 23 beginning as 10 pm and ending at 11 pm , Ian got up, turned to me, and said, "Dude, that show is intense. We have to watch the rest." At the end of hour 11 episode 24 which begins at 11 pm and ends at 12 am (the last episode) he sat with his mouth gaping for moment and then said, "Dude, that was harsh. I love this show!" Some days I know he's my kid :)

Disclaimer: the 'dude' thing comes from Aimee. Obviously it was a popular expression in the 80's.
