I've failed as a parent

Jake - what's that?

me - a preview for a new movie

Jake - what's it called?

me - Wintervention

Jake - Never heard of it

me - it is the latest from Warren Miller

Jake - who's Warren Miller?

Actually, I think a more apt description is that you are just getting old and dating yourself.

I doubt most kids are chompin at the bit to go see the newest WM flick opposed to the newest jib flick.

 

[bigbog]

Exactly AR...LOL..all air, and you can count the in-the-snow turns, complete or incomplete, on one hand.....:roll:

 

[Cannonball]

He's probably never heard of Matlock or Murder Se Wrote either. Say TGR and you'll probably get a better response.

Checked out the new TGR movie at House of Blues in Boston Friday night. Warren Miller is to TGR what Vespa is to Ducati.

Whew, I thought you were going to say your kid decided to ditch the skis and turn to snowboarding.

That's not a failure. It's more like your kid coming out of the closet. You love them and support them, but you're still a little sad about it.

My first thought upon reading the title of the thread was Chris Rock:

1st of all - you should be so lucky..
2nd of all... Why is Warren Miller even relevant? I thought he wasn't even part of the movies anymore?

Thats exactly how I'd feel if my kids chose a WM film over Matchstick or TGR

 

[freeskier423]

2nd that dmc. Warren Miller movies arent what they used to be. TGR, Poor boyz matchstick, and level 1 are much more enjoyable to me than Warren Miller. It is like Peanuts compared to South Park

I thought you were gonna say they were moving to Florida because they didn't like the snow. :-? That's how my step kids are but that's their Mom's fault - she doesn't ski and neither does their father. My step kids ARE messed up - I didn't marry their mom until they were 14 and 15 - by then the damage was done. They didn't even know who the Beatles were. :blink: But I was a good step dad - I got them snowboard lessons (which I tried with them) it just didn't take. I still ski but neither do they.

I am still partial to WM movies.. I do like some of the others....but to be honest, the music on some of the other vid's kills them for me. What can I say, I am old!

Kinda how I felt when my nephew turned into a snowboarder.......he is, to this day, one of my favourite people to hang out with on the slopes.
I love him and support him but secretly wonder if he'll ever hit skis again.
