2. My wife wants to go see Barbie, but we haven't made it there yet.

I told her we should wait until all the schools are back in session before we go.

Got to see Jules last week at the local Googleplex and and I'm surprised it didn't even crack the top 12. It's a good movie, but a quiet one by comparison. Strays sounds interesting, and actually got a number of good reviews from the top critics, so maybe I'll check that out as well.
