Thinking in Extremes

"The Sound of Music" came on this afternoon, right after "Chitti Chitti Bang Bang" - which Brandon was watching in rapt attention. (And, seriously, who knew the friendly toymaker was played by Benny Hill?)

Brandon was very curious as to why the credits were at the beginning of the movie instead of the end. The conversation ensued thusly:

Brian: " This movie's kind of old. It was made a long time ago."
Brandon: "Kind of like "Cars"? ('Cause "Cars", released in 2006, is just soooo old!)
Brian: "No. This movie was made even before me and mommy were born."
Brandon: "Was it made before all our friends were born?"
Then, turning to Brian, very seriously, "Was it made before God made the earth?"

That's our boy, always thinking in extremes.

Of course, if you looked at what all the actors look like today, after seeing them as they were in 1965, you might think the movie was made before time.
