I came downstairs on Friday with some dishes and to get a refill of water and saw Jeff Goldblum on the TV. “Whatcha watching, dad?”
“Oh I was scrolling around and saw this new show.” He used the remote to bring up the title. Kaos. “It’s a little weird but I kinda like it.”
I paused, behind him, watching for a moment. “Is that Netflix?” Dad grunted a yes. “Oh that’s that new show where he’s playing Zeus?” Dad grunted again. “Not really your normal kind of thing.”
“Jeff Goldblum is amazing. I’ll watch anything with him in it. Even if it’s a little weird.”
I laughed and walked in to the kitchen to put my dishes in the dishwasher. As I was filling up my water bottle, I shouted out to the living room. “Even a Marvel movie?” Dad did not like Marvel movies. They were too weird.
But dad sounded interested. “Oh, was he in a Marvel movie?”
“Yes, he was in Thor: Ragnarok. It’s very funny for a superhero flick.” I walked out, paused again behind him. I put my hand on his shoulder, briefly. “He plays a bad guy.”
“Well, I might just have to watch that one. Like I said, I’ll watch anything with Jeff Goldblum in it.”
Stay tuned. I will post an update after he watches one of the better Marvel movies.
