This thread definately grows at an astounding rate. I can never keep up, so I just poke my head in occasionally and/or read for entertainment :-P


I really need to see Brokeback Mountain. Stupid "R" rating means I have to go with like, my mom, and that would be weird. Hopefully the DVD comes out soon.

Oh, and that lovely picture from Emcee is now my wallpaper

Aww, I never knew it was rated 'R'.
Yeah, it'd just be too awkward for me to see that movie with my mom, so I suppose I may sneak over to someone's house to watch it on DVD.
Although many of my friends found it 'retarded'.

heh, I can finally get into R rated movies without my parents, and I still took my mom. She wanted to see it. But, Ihearttheatre, it's not so risque that going with your mom would be as weird as you think. It's fairly tame, IMO, in terms of what it *could* be. It's certainly not like... pornographic. Yes, they have sex, but that's far from the point of the movie. I thought it would be all kinds of weird to see with my mom, but it wasn't.

There's no way that movie would be rated less than R! Not with what goes down in that tent.

It's finally going to be in a theater here starting Friday. I'm going to be in NYC all weekend, but hopefully I can go and see it sometime next week.

But Em, wouldn't you think that my age would alter the relationship I have with my mom? Being twelve and going to see that kind of movie with your mother just wouldn't seem like a good time to me.

Maybe so. We'll see.

Seeing Brokeback again is one of the FIRST things I'm doing when I get back to the city.

Cheez Whiz, I guess I can't say it doesn't depend on age. I mean, at my age, my mom knows where I stand on these issues, and I suppose has some sense of knowing that I know what goes on, etc. ie, she wouldn't at this point try to cover my eyes during a non-G-rated scene. But, at yours, I'd assume there are certain things your mother wouldn't be ok with you being exposed to -- even if you KNOW about them, there's a different taboo on SEEING. I guess in an ideal world, it would make you have a more easily open relationship with your mother, but in reality, I could see it being really awkward.

Well, although I do have knowledge about these things, Em, I would still think the awkwardness would kick in. :)
I mean, I've been watching 'R' movie since a young age, but my mother and I such a strong relationship, it's just never involved anything controversial or awkward ever.

hehe ... I'm 26 and I still can't watch sex stuff if my mom is in the room. She will even FF through one if we're watching a general hospital tape or something, and daytime TV isn't that bad! :) I think she just likes to pretend I'm a kid sometimes, still.

I don't quite get it. My parents were Sex and the City junkies, and if I walked in while it was on they flipped it off faster than you could blink. My mother covered my eyes during Loud As the Hell You Want. If I say "sex" around my mom, I turn really red. When she wanted to know who was doing what with whom amongst all of those actors I love, I didn't want to talk about it. But I was okay seeing Brokeback with her, and I think that's because a lot of the above things are purely about the act. Brokeback's a love story, not a sex story. Less tacky, maybe? If they went at it constantly, and were naked all the time, and sex were more central to the film, I'd have had more trouble seeing it with mom, for sure.

We had a bad experience that my family has yet to recover from. We are still not allowed to mention anything about "Scary Movie." I also watched "Closer" with my mom which was awkward, but not as awkward as "Crash" with my dad.

[Cheez Whiz]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 5:55pm

Hmm, Em, you've got a point. When it's more about love, it just seems more comfortable, I suppose. :)

[JLSatUD]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 5:55pm

haha ... one night in college when Sex & the City was the new "wild" tv show, I watched an episode of it with my dad. It was a tad awkward but since it's such a funny show that helped. My mom couldn't stand to be in the room or watch it. So maybe she's the nutso one, not me :)

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 5:56pm

I think it's because of the "important" factor, honestly. I think anything that could've been potentially awkward was squashed by the stuff that's really supposed to get you in the movie. It's not there just for pornographic, hormone-satisfying value. And, like I said, they do it with their clothes on. You see nothing terribly obscene, and it's got to be less than a minute long.

and they're men.

and they're hot.

Unlike this horrible yucky girly ad that pops up every time I use a certain "mega" big site.

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 5:59pm

Ew, I get that ad too.

[Cheez Whiz]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:00pm

Em: Wow, you're making this seem so much less of a big deal.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:01pm

My mother doesn't condone my love for guy-on-guy action. She doesn't see how I can find that enjoyable. She's sort of like "let them do what they want, but I don't want to look at it."

GRANTED, with all of this talk about my mother, during the sex scene, she goes "I don't think they're really gay; I think they're just bored!" So, take what you will...

hmmm ... well, in the "sound of music" definition, the word "gay" is pretty much the opposite of the word "bored." :)

[Cheez Whiz]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:04pm

Haha, bored?

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:05pm

My mom let my sister and I stay in a house with 4 gay men last summer. That was the best week of my life.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:05pm

Well, you know, they got gay, and thus boredom alleviated.

[Cheez Whiz]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:06pm

Mandi: The best week? How so? =-O

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:08pm

Because it was fun. It was my uncle, and his boyfriend, and their 2 roomies in San Fran. It was just a lot of fun.

[Cheez Whiz]

Posted: 1/4/06 at 6:09pm

It does sound like tons of fun.

Em: Ah, it's all clear now. :o
