The Others nerdsholmferret 10/29 '25

We borrowed this movie from the library and I remarked that Nicole Kidman was still married to Executive Producer Tom Cruise when it was being made.

B:  "What?  This movie isn't that old!"

Me:  "Yep, it was released in 2001."

B:  "What?!?"

Me:  [spooky finger waving] "Wooooooooo!"

I remember when that movie came out, and how Entertainment Tonight interviewed Tom Cruise on the red carpet about how talented Kidman is. I think they’d just gotten divorced, but it was to his benefit for the movie to make money, so the conversation was a masterclass in text and subtext.

Seems about right. Tom Cruise could say “monkey cold banana copter, over aloe ingeborg humperdink,” and make it compelling, though.

Katie Couric:  "This member of the weasel family, whose name begins and ends with the letter E, is known for its white winter fur."

Me:  "Ermine!"

All the Jeopardy contestants:   <crickets chirping>

Me:  "C'mon, it's ermine!"

Wife:  "I didn't know that."

Me:  "But it's in the weasel family!"
