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 “pussyâ€. 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 problemâ€. 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?
