Welcome to Litsy!

This is the memoir of a dad who allows his son to drop out of school if he agrees to watch 3 movies a week with him. It chronicles the movies they watch, and the discussions they have during this time.

Weekend reminder: Those who stir the shit pot should lick the spoon.

I‘m grateful for all who speak up and call others on their BS. I‘m also grateful for four-letter words and lessons learned. May today have a little of both 😉

This is a short memoir about a father and son. Son hates school, father tells him he can drop out but has to watch 3 movies each week with dad. Though the comments about the movies are indeed interesting, the story is really more about the son maturing and becoming a self-sufficient person. Girl trouble and life lessons. Includes a listing of the movies watched, which would certainly interest a film buff.

Haha. That's how I feel.

When thinking of a book I #lovetohate for #booklove17 this immediately came to mind. This true story sounds great: A film critic dad will let his son drop out of school if he watches three assigned movies a week. But the dad is kind of a jerk (what does it mean if your own memoir makes you seem like a jerk?) and his son is a jerk who doesn't really like any of the movies. When the son called A Hard Day's Night "dreadful" I was done.

Based on a true story about a father who lets his son drop out of school - with one condition - he must watch three movies a week of his fathers choosing.
