B is for Ballet Night

At my house, Monday nights are Ballet night. My little sister is ferried off by Mom to her ballet class for several hours. This results in Dad and I having the house to ourselves for the evening.

"Which movie's next?" is always the first question. Then we cue it up and let the entertainment begin (sometimes supplemented by chips, yum!). Tonight, though, we'll have to see how it works out. Will we closet ourselves in a bedroom, huddled together around a laptop, or will we have to skip our weekly routine this once? You see, my sister has class cancelled this week for Easter and we can't exactly let her watch with us.

The feature? Probably episodes 3 and 4 of Firefly. We began the series last week, but Dad is hooked. My plan succeeded! However, I am enjoying re-watching the series as my Dad is discovering it for the first time.

The majority of the movies we watch are science fiction since it is a common love we share. What is your favorite series, movie or genre to share with others?

Until next time!

  3. Somewhere along the way we'll re-watch Inception. (But Serenity, the Firefly movie, is first after the series.)

  4. Serenity is a fabulous movie, especially if you watched the series. So sad that it only went one season.

  5. OOH, I love Firefly, too. I also majorly love the recent Star Trek movie and I never cared for any Star Trek iteration before that. Maybe it's Chris Pine. Or Chris Pine plus Simon Pegg plus Zachary Quinto times JJ Abrams. I like The All of It.

    Stopping by for the A to Z challenge!

  7. Hello, Anna! What a special time to have with your Dad. I love sharing my childhood favorites (such as The Sandlot, The Goonies, The Princess Bride, The Court Jester, Star Wars Ep. IV, V, VI, to name a few...) with my nieces and nephews. There are so many great movies from decades ago that children today must see!!

    Enjoy your ballet nights! Hope you had a great weekend and happy A to Z!!
