"Psycho" and Scarlett

MAJOR PSYCHO SPOILERS AHEAD!!

So today I was out to lunch with 2/3 of my BFFs, Scarlett and Ella. (Isabella couldn't make it.) We were talking and somehow (I really can't remember) the subject of Psycho came up.

Well. Naturally I jumped right in, raving about the shocking end, and somehow Ella and I ended up explaining the whole thing to Scarlett, who hasn't seen the movie.

She didn't understand. "So...Mother's alive?"

"No, see, Norman is Mother. He dressed up like her and preserved her body after she died," I'd said.

"That sounds stupid," Scarlett scoffed.

EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?! "You have to see it in context," Ella said, coming to my rescue (as I was speechless).

Thank you, YouTube! Some awesome person had posted the fruit cellar scene. So I showed it to Scarlett, whose only comments were the following:

"That's stupid."

"Why does the skeleton have wrinkles?"

"That's so stupid it's almost funny."

"Av, is it one of those movies where it's so. Bad. It's funny?"

I couldn't believe she hated it! And I couldn't believe her only non-hater comment was Why does the skeleton have wrinkles? I mean REALLY.

I said, "What. Scarlett. No. It got nominated for like six Oscars."

She laughed. "Sure, Avalon!"

Sigh. Some people just don't get it.

More later!

XoXo,
Avalon
