Strange People = Strange Movies

Last night in my class we were chatting about movies.

One young guy said how he doesn't like SF movies and hasn't ever seen an interesting one. But he likes "human dramas" like Green Mile and, er, Meet Joe Black.

A middle aged woman said she loves Bruce Willis and Steven Segal action flicks. Then a third student, a man in his late 30's said he likes just about anything.

One student, a little older and a university professor was clearly not interested in the conversation and was growing agitated by the waste of time. But I figured I'd at least give him a shot. "So, how about you, Professor K? What sort of movies do you like?"

His response "I think America has many strange people. So think American movies are maybe strange. So I don't watch them."

Along with me, the other 3 students just blinked a few times and went "Ohhhkay, moving right along"
