Yesterday...

The Skeleton Key with Mom & Aunt

--We are the only ones in the theater, which means we can talk all the way through. Most of our comments revolve around the fact that Kate Hudson's character is a FRICKIN' MORON.

Mom: Um, if there's a creepy rattling door in a creepy attic, DON'T OPEN IT.
Aunt: Have none of these characters ever seen a movie before?
Me: Unless everyone in this film has spent their entire life living in a box, this level of stupidity is not only ridiculous, it's anachronistic. A lack of meta is now an ANACHRONISM.

--Kate Hudson applies for a job at a creepy house in the middle of a swamp where everyone and everything is CREEPY.

Me: There is absolutely no reason to take this job.
Mom: None whatsoever.
Aunt: None.
Peter Sarsgaard: Hi. I work here.
All: Never mind.

--Then, half an hour before the end, I guess the "plot twist." We go get sushi.

While we're waiting, I express a preference for pajamas.

Aunt: Once you're having sex regularly, you'll change your mind. You'll never want to wear pajamas again.

Which makes for a nice transition into today...

The 40-Year-Old Virgin with Mom & Dad

--Seeing a raunchy sex comedy with your parents is not at all uncomfortable.

Then, Steve Carell goes to get his chest waxed.

Mom: That may hurt, but it doesn't hurt as much as a Brazilian.
Me: Er, I bet.
Mom: You know, a Brazilian wax.
Me: Yeah.
Mom: (Stage whispers) I've had one!
Me: Okay! Thank you for that.

So...officially one month and eight days until I get to move out. ::smiles weakly::

When is the Brazilian wax going to die? I mean, really.
Uncomfortable conversations aside, how was The 40 Year Old Virgin otherwise? I've pretty much loved anything Judd Apatow's put his name to, so I'm curious what you thought of it.

I'm with you on the Judd Apatow love, and 40-Year-Old Virgin was no exception. There were some gross-out bits that I didn't like, but the parts that were so funny I had tears streaming down my face more than made up for them. Steve Carell was funny and oddly sweet, and the supporting cast was terrific (especially Seth Rogen, who spazatron and I have decided looks exactly like my brother--especially in Undeclared. Spooky!). So yeah. Go see it!

Your family is hilarious.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are. However, it's getting to the point where I need a slightly smaller dose of hilarity, if you know what I mean.

Hee! I went to see The Wedding Crashers with my parents. THAT was not at all awkward.

I was going to say, "Hey, that wasn't THAT bad" and then I remembered the handjob under the table scene. And the...yeah.

And my mom still wants me to come with her to see The Aristocrats...eep!

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

...and the whole montage with all the naked sex at the beginning, and the Vince Vaughn gay bondage....

My mom has offered to take me to The Aristocrats when it opens in Portland (this Friday). I'm torn -- I want to see it and I have no money, but on the other hand, MOM.

We saw The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers today at the Grove. Lots of elderly folk in both audiences.

Yes, but you weren't related to any of them. Er...right? ;-)
