    FREE LESSON: Daily English 802 - Going to the Movies

    FREE LESSON: Daily English 802 - Going to the Movies

    Lights! Camera! Action! We’re off to the movies. Learn how to talk about seeing a good film in this episode.

    Explanations: 2:37

    Fast dialogue: 15:35


    Martin: What did you think of that movie?


    Joanna: It was okay, but I’m not really into big-budget movies with a lot of special effects and big-name stars.


    Martin: Oh, you’re a film snob. I bet you only watch indie films made on a shoestring budget with low production values.


    Joanna: No, that’s not true. I just don’t like crowd-pleasers that are predictable. I like movies that stretch the imagination and have some artistic value.


    Martin: You mean you like those weird movies with no plot and a lot of strange characters. They’re artsy, but leave you totally confused.


    Joanna: I don’t mind some ambiguity, if that’s what you mean.


    Martin: Well, I’m going to see the new Spiderboy movie next week. I don’t suppose you want to come?


    Joanna: Spiderboy? I’ve been looking forward to seeing that movie.


    Martin: But it’s a big-budget blockbuster.


    Joanna: I can’t watch artsy films all the time. Variety is the spice of life, don’t you think?

    Pamela: You know that your tongue is hanging out of your mouth, right?


    David: That’s because I’ve never seen so many beautiful women in one place before. Why have I never been to this beach before? Look at her! She’s a hottie!


    Pamela: Isn’t that what you said about that woman over there?


    David: No, I said she’s a babe. Look at the way she sways when she walks.


    Pamela: Stop ogling her or her boyfriend or husband is going to come over here.


    David: I’m not ogling. I’m admiring the perfection of the female body.


    Pamela: You’re undressing her with your eyes. Avert your gaze before you regret it. Oh, wow!


    David: What?


    Pamela: Check out that guy over there. Hello, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome!


    David: That pretty boy over there? He’s too into himself. Look at the way he’s posing so every woman on this beach can get a look at him. He’s nothing but an exhibitionist.


    Pamela: And the women you’ve been ogling in the teeny tiny bikinis?


    David: Those women? They’re just showing off what God gave them!

    Stocker: Can I help you find something?


    Meg: Yes, I’m looking for coffee.


    Stocker: That’s on aisle 3. Let me show you where it is.


    Meg: Thanks. Hmm, I don’t see the Jitters brand that I normally buy.


    Stocker: It looks like we’re out of stock. We should get another shipment next week.


    Meg: Okay, I’ll check back. I’m also looking for the Fructose brand soda, but I didn’t see it in the soda aisle.


    Stocker: I’m afraid that’s been discontinued. Their parent company no longer makes soda.


    Meg: Really? I love Fructose soda. How about the Mushy brand bread? I didn’t see it when I checked the bread aisle.


    Stocker: We no longer stock the Mushy brand. There were so quality control issues at the company, so we’ve pulled all of their products from the shelves. Can I help you find anything else?


    Meg: No, I guess I’ll just have to try some new brands. Oh, yes, do you carry Worm organic apples?


    Stocker: We normally do, but they’re out of season right now. We won’t have any until early summer.


    Meg: All of this shopping and I have nothing to show for it. I guess I’m going home empty-handed.


    Stocker: We do have chocolate cakes and cookies on sale.


    Meg: I’m there!
