My girlfriend has seen the trilogy many more times than me, she likes it on in the background while she works from home. I'll sit for a while to watch but it isn't like The Shawshank Redemption where I will sit down until the end every damn time.

Damn Andy I will see you down in Zaywatanejo

Zihuatanejo, in case anyone wanted to know the actual spelling and that it’s a real place.

I applaud you for being able to correct the spelling and not come off as an asshole at the same time. That is quite the feat on the internet these days. Not only did you not come off as an asshole you actually linked to further information to educate your fellow netizen. 👏

I didn’t know how to spell it myself when I looked for it. I would have spelled Zijuatanejo, so I got to learn, too. Figured I’d share. 😉

and I want to thank you for that, as I too never knew how to spell that, nor that it was a real place!! This is like the fourth new thing I've learned today on Lemmy - loving it.

Glad to contribute.

I was torn between using the spelling that my voice typing used and actually searching for the name with Google to get it for sure correct.

At least I got the first and last letter in the correct place if nothing else.

Shawshank Redemption, The Birdcage, and The Fifth Element are my 3 favorite movies that I will always actively watch when they're on, even if I own all three.

I’d never get any work done if it was on in the “background” at my house.
