Overheard at Table 4: 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

NOTE: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
BUT THEN, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE BY NOW YOU PROBABLY WON'T ANYWAY SO WHAT THE HECK...

Juan: So what'd you think about the movie?

Ann Otter:  It was OK.   Better than I expected.   Didn't get the ending, though, so, was he right?

Juan:  Who?  John Goodman?

Ann Otter:  So, was he right about the aliens?

Juan: It was more like he was right but didn't know he was right.  Remember?  He said it could be the Russians, the Chinese, or the Martians.   He was a survivalist.  He just knew something big was going down and he rushed back to his shelter.

Ann Otter:  So he meant to run the girl off the road?

Juan:  No, that's the whole point.  That part was an accident, but he felt bad about it, so he brought her to the shelter.   But that's what was really cool about the whole movie, you didn't know until the end if the thing was all in his head or not.

Ann Otter:  Well, I kinda knew it'd be the aliens.   I mean, it had the same name as that other movie you showed me, remember?  The one in New York where the giant aliens knocked off the Statue of Liberty head?

Juan:  Oh.   Oh yeah.  Crap, I forgot about that one.   I was wondering where I had heard the name before.

Ann Otter:  You don't remember all the boring movies you make me watch?

Juan: If they are so boring then how can you remember them?

Ann Otter: Probably because I love you.
