#her taste in movies is a lot more middlebrow she loves an oscarbait drama

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

i think the first movie i remember my mom very nearly forcing me to watch was shakespeare in love, which like when she told me i should see it i was like "isn't it rated R" because i was in 8th grade and she was like "yeah but i mean there's like one sex scene kind of but mostly you just see him undressing her and that's it so like, that's fine right?" and i was like, sure i guess

#my mom's taste in literature is extremely refined #every twentieth century litbro icon ever plus the entire latin american canon and chaucer #her second husband got her into carl hiaasen who she likes for the comedy #and she read harry potter with us as a family thing #but beyond that she will not touch a genre book #her taste in movies is a lot more middlebrow she loves an oscarbait drama #she really loved crash when it came out #but then she saw brokeback mountain and was retroactively very angry about it losing the oscar lol #her taste in TV Is sort of both #TV-wise she loves prestige dramas and then also every dumbass procedural ever made #it's like #the sopranos and mad men #and then also law & order (especially SVU bc christopher meloni) criminal minds NCIS house monk #some random two-season mystery show set in florida we watched the last time we lived together? #momblogging
