8. Hardly ever, which is nothing new for us.

Monday

Put me in a recliner seat in the dark, and I'm likely to doze off, regardless of time of day.

Seeing as I'm a rom/com and musicals kind of girl, most of the story lines don't interest me. One the rare occasions that I do go, within 10-15 seconds of each trailer starting, I'm saying, "Nope, nah, pass on this one."

Pretty typically, when the Oscar nominations are announced, we've maybe been to one of the films under consideration.
