Turning My Grandmother Into a Geek…
… one movie at a time.
Well, not just movies. Michael is also recommending science fiction books to her, and in the past month she’s read two John Scalzi books, and just started either Spin or Accelerando .
But last night, we watch The Matrix and she said it was okay, and she wouldn’t mind seeing the two sequels. Considering how violent The Matrix is, I figured that was pretty impressive. (Mind you, she chose to watch The Matrix over Chicago.)
However, she didn’t much care for X-Men, though I wonder if she would like it better watching it a second time, since things would make more sense.
She and Michael are also watching Star Trek: Voyager while I hide in the basement, because there are some limits to my geekatude.
Next up–we’re going to see if we can get her to watch Buffy.
