Me: Sooo… I was thinking of renting The Lake House.
Wife: You? Why?
Me: I’m intrigued by the science-fictiony, time-travel twist.
Wife: But it’s a total chick flick. I don’t even want to see it.
Me: Um.
Wife: Seriously?
Me: Well, I was thinking it would be an interesting way to frame a discussion…
Wife: No.
Me: …about the possibility and theory…
Wife: No.
Me: …of time travel.
Wife: No.
Me: Plus I’m curious if the story is internally consistent with their time travel framework. And it’s already in the Netflix queue.
Wife: And Sandra Bullock is in it. And you’re a dork.
Me: Granted.
