For many years, with regard to their film-watching, Ciara and Conor have been theming their months. For instance: *Elaine May May (sic) - films starring, written by, or directed by Elaine May. *Darling works (?) of May - William Shakespeare Films. *Cartoon June - you know, animated. *Soviet (J)Un(e)(ion) - Films from countries that were once in the USSR. Sometimes the titles of these months are puns, sometimes alliterative. Sometimes, it is awful strained altogether (see above). But it has always been fun. Or at least I hope so. They've been doing it long enough!
