myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies3 months ago

When was the last time you watched a flick in the movie theaters with your Mom?
What movie was it? Where did you go afterwards and what did you do?

I knew my Mom wanted to watch the movie "In My Life". I thought she was going to watch alone until she asked me yesterday if I wanted to watch. Frankly, I didnt have plans to see it but I decided to accompany her.^_^
The movie was very dramatic that I think most of the movie-goers were shedding tears but trying to be discreet about it. I also noticed that most of the movie watchers were actually mothers who brought along their children. doh

So how about you guys? Thanks for sharing. happy

I did not go last a movie with my mom only. that was my whole family. but that time i was a child only and i did not used to go with my friends. after that i have seen many movies. but with my mom i remember that i saw 10 years ago. that was a hindi movie "kuch kuch hota hai."
but today i feel a bit uncomfortable watching movies with family due to some odd scenes in them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

yeah, I know what you mean that there are those scenes in today's movies that may seem awkward while watching with a family member. Thanks for the response.^_^

Well, last time which was a very long time ago, wasn't just me and my mom. We also had my dad with me and I think we watched that Indiana Jones movie, the fourth one.. Crystal Skull I think.. Can't remember any movie that I went to with just my mom.. I could recall some movies that I alone went to because my other brothers and sisters wanted to watch a different movie. My mom would just go along with my dad and he would usually be the one who would suggest the movie watching. There have been so many movies that I need to watch.. (-_-")


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

Ah yes, I remember you mention that movie before.
The last movie that I watched in theaters alone would be Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, what about you?

That's okay, there's a time for everything anyway. wink
Thanks for responding.^_^


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

Hmmmm, I have to say that the last movie that I was able to watch at the theaters would be the fourth Indiana Jones movie. I have watched other movies on our computer but, its really different when you get to watch at the big screen. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

Oh, Im not fond of watching on the computer. Id prefer to watch on tv or theaters, but of course, watching in theaters a lot would be too expensive so I just wait for them to come on cable or I borrow cd's from friends.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

That's why if your going to watch at movie at the theaters, it better be one of the best that you could watch in that year or else it would feel like you just wasted your money.. unless the movie wasn't really the reason which would either make it a waste of money or something worth while.. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

yeah, that's my perspective about it too. Same even with renting movies. Well, I was just a tag alone this time, and its a rare thing for my Mom to want to watch a movie in theaters so.. happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

Maybe your mom is one of those movie goers who wouldn't like to go alone by themselves..?

Who else would she talk about the movie with in case that those that she knows hasn't seen the movie?


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

Im really not sure about that first one. Cause the stories that I hear is that my Mom and Dad used to go to the movies together and my Mom hasnt told an experience that she would go to the movies alone.

She would be able to discuss it with her former colleagues(she's retired) and my Aunt. Actually, we dont discuss anything that much., especially not about a movie that addresses a mother-children issue.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

Well, it has surely been a long time since you watched that movie with your mom. Any changes after that episode with your mom or things are as normal as you could recall?

Maybe you should invite your mom out sometime for something different, something that would be out of the oridnary too. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

Woah, has it been 3 weeks?confused Time sure does fly by..
Everything is the usual with my Mom. Nah, we both are busy but I do invite her sometimes to go shopping, usually window shopping for me then she'll buy something that she likes. Its a rare occasion.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  1 month ago

My sister would usually do that to her, invite her out to that nearby mall and then she'd get to buy groceries and anything that she might fancy and at the same time, affordable.

Now-a-days, its my father who tries to get my mom out of the house witha movie or what not.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  4 weeks ago

Ahh, why the shift? Sister getting too busy, and father wishes to unwind more?


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  4 weeks ago

Well, things change for some reason, I guess..


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  4 weeks ago

Whichever arrangement works. happy Mom, asked me to watch "This Is It"(movie about Michael Jackson, I think) with her. Kinda unusual to get offers like that from her more than twice in 6 months..


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 weeks ago

I would often have this notion that there is some peculiar reasons why some people act differently all of a sudden. The tendency is that you get to oppose the good gesture and speculate on a cause that would incite the recent action that is currently on going. (-_- )


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 weeks ago

Nature of contradicting, maybe?confused


myLot reputation of 98/100. ratyz5 (2965)   ranked 1,794 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 weeks ago

This faulty grammar of mine is at it again... (-_- )

What I was trying to imply but, wouldn't like to ponder about, would be that for some reason, say something life changing to the extent of trying to do what could've done before but, didn't had time to, and now with a dead line until something more serious?

Anyway, that isn't the case most of the time, after all.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 weeks ago

Uhm.. I'm sorry but, I didnt get that..

happyhello bjcyrix,

woww00t, that's nice to spend time with your mom. I've heard that Vilma Santos is indeed back in Show-biz. that's good too since she's been away to politics most of the time. My mom did watch that movie with her friend, frankly i don't watch movies in theater anymore. she had a great watch with that movie. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  3 months ago

Yep, it sure is. Its also nice that the actor and actress in the movie, namely Luis Manzano and Vilma Santos are actually mother and son. It's indeed great to see her acting again.

Ah, you're Mom enjoyed the movie as well. Its okay that you dont watch in theaters anymore, I only get to watch it whenever my high school friends decide to get together. Thanks for the response.^_^

We watch movies together (me & my mom) at our couch, probably every night. My mom is really not fond of watching movies at the theatres. That's why, we just watch movies at home.

The last time I saw a movie with my Mom was in July. Actually several of us went. My Mom, myself, my two oldest sons, my girlfriend and my step daughter. We had all wanted to see the movie so I got a sitter for my youngest son and we made a morning of it. It was fun to get out together.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

I don't remember. I think it was transformers. I didn't actually see the whole movie because I had to keep running back and forth to the bathroom since I had a urinary tract infection. My mom and I used to go to the movies all the time when I was living at home. I lived at home until I was 25. Now we only go to the movies when I go home for the holidays since I live in another state.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

Sorry to hear about that infection, hope you're alright now. It's actually the norm in this country that children live with their parents even if they already have children of their own. Ah, at least you and your Mom still get those 'special MOMents'. wink

well i have never watching a movie with my mom, for she does not like to watch it. and i know what she likes and interested is playing cards. that's also the hobby of my father, grandmother. they always sit together to play it. about movie, she does not like it, but she likes to watch tv programmes. so if i have time, i would accompany her to do what she likes.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

TV shows huh? My Mom loves to watch those shows too, especially those prime time drama shows. Great to know that you accompany your Mom watching tv, since she doesnt like the movies. Thanks for sharing.^_^

Over Labor Day weekend my mom and I went to see Julie and Julia. After the movie I think we did a little shopping and came home. Nothing too exciting. It was kind of weird because it's kind of a chick movie and those are generally more her style than mine but I think I liked it more than she did.


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

"Julie and Julia"... that title sounds familiar but I cant picture what the story was about. doh Anyway, I know what you mean by watching a chick movie with your Mom, it can definitely be weird and awkward, but then again there are those few chick movies that you'd never thought you'd like,..even if you watched it with your Mom. lol Thanks for sharing!^_^


myLot reputation of 89/100. crimsonladybug (1897)   ranked 68 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

It's "based on two true stories." Julie Powell was (is) a call-center operator working for an insurance company in New York right after 9/11 and she gets this idea to spend a year cooking her way through Julia Childs' first (and possibly most famous) cook book, and blog about it. So the movie is based on her story writing the blog and on Julia Childs' memoirs.

Oh, seems like a life changing personal struggle. Thanks for giving an overview. I just might watch out for that.^_^

Hi bjcyrix!

I could not remember anymore when was the last time we have watched a movie together. Due to her advanced age, my mom does not want anymore to watch in a movie theater and mostly prefer to watched telenovelas in the home instead.

But there's always one place that we both go together, in a casino. You know just like the other elderly people, my mom loves to play the slot machines in the casino. She will spend time (and money too) playing that electronic games.

This coming October, she will once again come home for a vacation and I know that we will spend time again in her favorite visiting place, the casino.

Have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 96/100. bjcyrix (2780)   ranked 161 out of 11,313 in watching movies  2 months ago

Heya tholitz^_^ How are you?

Casinos! That's a very unusual hobby for your Mom. I mean most people in the elder generation here in our country would seem to prefer Bingo. But yeah, there are also those who are fond of MahJong like my Mom and her friends.LOL She has stopped though and has been more focused on her business.

Anyway, you mentioned your Mom is coming "home for a vacation". May I ask where she's coming from?

Have a great week. happy
