Movie my grandmother made me watch this weekend. - Page 2

Dunno. I'm sure I'm getting fucked out of The Mist, though.

Are you kidding? Elvis was huge worldwide.

But in general, she didn't get the movie, was pissed at me for making her watch that "piece of shit".

Damn shame, I now wonder who amongst us has convinved their grandparents to watch Pulp Fiction?

Opposite. I posted this in some other thread ages ago, but my mother - who, at the time, was nearly 70 years old - she and my stepdad buy DVDs rather than rent them. I mean, if they haven't seen a movie - they'll just buy it to see it. And they'll buy it based on who's in it. So - my mom likes John Travolta because she thought he was adorable when he was on Welcome Back Kotter, and she loved Grease and Michael. So she and my stepdad fucking BUY a copy of Pulp Fiction. Now, my mom is your basic sweet little elderly mom. So I'm on the phone telling her, "You know, you're not gonna like this. You're just not. Not the kind of Travolta movie you're expecting, trust me." She gets all "We'll just see about that!" I said, "Okay - fine. Tell me what you think of the gay anal rape scene, the heroin overdose, complete with a giant needle to the heart, a guy who gets his head shot off, etc."

So she watches it, and calls me the next week - like a defiant little kid. "Well - I watched it!" I said, "And what did you think?" Here was her issue with it - not the guns and the violence and the drugs and the anal rape. Nope - it was "the F word." "Why did every other word have to be the F word? F this, F that." That was her big problem with Pulp Fiction. Which, if the other stuff didn't bother her, I really need to find out what she normally has been doing since she retired.

Well who says that gimps didn't exist back in the 40s?

Oh, I'm sure they did. It was just frowned upon if they bobbed their hair.

That's the 20s. And god help ya if ya gave foot massages then.

"NEVER touch the foot of a latex covered gimp unless he plans to propose! May we meet his family?"

Cal Coolidge is not a bitch! Then why are you trying to fuck him like one?!

One time I was stewing about in my grandmother's closet and found some movie in a paper bag called LaVender in Ladies. Pretty sure it was a different movie.

I never did watch it, but years later we were on a farm tour and my sister caught sight of a dark, unusually large rooster. "That's a giant black cock!" she exclaimed. While we all snickered, Grandma just looked wistfully upon the setting sun.

My Gran had a bit part in LeVar Burton loves him some Ladies. She was one of the ladies. He loved her twice.

I think the edgiest thing that Grams made me watch was a Winston Churchill documentary.

But it turns out Grams used to be a crazy chick. I went down to Waxahachie, TX to see the folks this past weekend and ended up drinking and looking at one of those old photo albums they have in their bar room.

Turns out, the old lady and Gramps used to get hammered all the time and have house parties.

Found a terrifying picture of one of their friends at a New Year's Eve party. The man was red-faced drunk and dressed as the New Year Baby. Diaper and all.

Funny how a few decades later he'd be back in that costume...

That album definitely shattered my image of the Gam Gam.

I watched PULP FICTION with my grandfather. He got real confused and wondered how John Travolta had come back to life.

You photoshopped this picture, admit it.
I can believe a book like this actually exists.

For some reason unknown to me, I started watching Troma's Class of Nuke 'Em High with my grandparents once, years ago.

Turned it off after 15 minutes though. Not really for their tastes, surprisingly enough.
