James and I decided to get some movies last night, and we went with movies that we hadn’t seen but wanted to see. So we picked, of all things, Unleashed, Serenity, and the 40 Year Old Virgin. Oh yeah, that’s right, the 40 Year Old Virgin. I had seen the previews, and it looked pretty funny, but even though I knew the subject would be sex, I never expected what we got. The movie is pretty much one of the most crass and inappropriate movies I have ever seen. The overuse of the word “fuck” is only outdone by overuse of the word “pussy”. Nice. Imagine all of this with James, me, and his mom and dad. I think that a highlight was when James’ mother described the fact that the main character had an erection, as a “slight problem”. James’ father followed up with, “I think they call that a Woody, dear.” Ah, yet another lesson I have learned; if you don’t know exactly what you are getting, don’t rent a movie that is potentially only about sex to watch with your partner’s sixty-year old parents. There was more than a little egg on our faces… But hey, all in the spirit of the holiday season, right?

It's amazing that this is based on a true story. It was interesting how it was kept so hush hush for so long. Neat movie.

Sort of scary at points, but overall, just alright. Jessica Alba looks like a young Jolie in several points, however.

I can't even imagine being a prisoner of war. It must be awful. Heart wrenching story.

HOW FUNNY!
That sounds a little uncomfortable! Merry Christmas Duane!
Better egg on your face than that other stuff that Steve Carrell got on his face in the bathroom….
The movie was horrid, and the only solace I take from having watched it was the pleasure of seeing Paul Rudd’s ass up-close and zoomed in.
is there really such a thing as overusing the words “fuck” and “pussy”?
i loved the movie. the waxing of the chest was about the funniest thing i’d seen in a long time.
Haha, you said “inappropriate.” That’s such a parents thing to say.
Still I loved that movie…the funniest movie I’ve seen in years but then again I didn’t watch it with my parents.
Merry Christmas Duane! This made me laugh and cringe at the same time. The relationship that I have with my parents is quite proper and the thought of watching something like this with them makes me shudder… You’re a brave man, Duane Moody!
I watched Scary Movie 1, 2 or 3 (can’t remember which one) with my mom. It was filled with sex jokes and naked women. At first I was uncomfortable but my mom was laughing so hard that I forgot about being uncomfortable and joined her in laughing my ass off.
I thought the movie was pretty stupid, although there were a few funny moments. (A very few.)
I watched Monsters Ball with my cousin and her husband (big mistake). When Billy Bob and Halle Berry started going at it like weasels at a clambake I just about ran out of the theatre. I can’t remember if it was me or her that said it first, “don’t let Grandma see this one”.
I didn’t mind it so much, was kind of funny. I saw it in the theatre, sometimes that makes a difference.
I once made the mistake of watching “Goodfellas” with my grandparents. Everytime someone said Fuck (like every three seconds) I would cringe. Not good.
Hope you had a lovely holiday!
Okay, I probably wouldn’t watch it with my mom, mostly because she would talk all the way through it, asking, “What did he say?” But the movie is fantastic. It’s got a helluva lot of potty humor, but it’s inside a really sweet story about a sweet guy. So much better than something like the Wedding Crashers or whatnot, about horrible people who somehow get the girl. But whatev. Sounds like an awful evening. Next time, rent “The Sound of Music.”
