conulyso when I realized she'd never seen or heard of The Sixth Sense, I added it to our movie line-up.
She was actually surprised by the twist. This is such a novel experience, I felt I had to record it for posterity.
We've also watched Empire Records (Eva was deeply caught up in the question of whether or not Joe is actually Lucas' foster father, or if he's just fatherly) and 10 Things I Hate About you (we lost Heath Ledger entirely too soon). Also, unrelated to this all, Jenn and Eva watched Legally Blonde. I was surprised that Jenn had never seen that movie before. She was surprised that I've watched it at least seven times already. I'm not sure which fact is more surprising.

At least PETA didn't hurt anybody with this campaign.)
