Me to Firstborn Son: Um. You need to sit next to me. Immediately.
Him (sitting next to me immediately): I sense this is important.
Me: I need to show you the trailer for the new Cuaron movie: Gravity.
Him: Cuaron? The director of Children of Men as well as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? Two of my top-ten favorite movies of all time? You have my attention.
90. Seconds. Later.
Him: How does he do it? That is the stuff of my nightmares!
Me: I know! The only thing that could possibly make that scene more disturbing was if Sandra Bullock ricocheted off the space craft into an underwater cave...in space!
Him: How are we possibly going to wait until October for this?
Me: This right here is karma, rewarding me for sitting patiently in the theater during Prometheus…
My husband and I saw this trailer before Gatsby last weekend. The TRAILER was rated PG-13! And your son is right, I actually turned to my husband and told him that movie will give me nightmares, the same way I got them after seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was a kid — all because of a scene where Poole is set adrift through space.
