Un Long Dimanche de Fiançailles draws record crowds in Houston. It's almost like I made the movie.
I got off early for the first time in ages. You take that however you want to take it. After all, I promised bodily fluid launches. But if you really want to know what I mean, read on. Otherwise, go get off yourself.
The movie is good. Not great, not bad, not a masterpiece. Maybe shit gets lost in translation. Doesn't help that the only French I know is Grey Poupon.
You know, now that I'm thinking about it, I do not remember seeing Grey Poupon in France last year. Will have to investigate during the next trip.
Anyway, the movie had some wicked shots. I particularly liked the cinematographe and actualite references. Good stuff for a geek like me. There's some semi-good stuff for the geeks like you. You get to see Audrey Tatou's butt, a soldier's pecker when he urinates, and Jodie Foster getting an orgasm from a guy.
Word on the street says that Jodie Foster is a lesbian, or at least anti-men. I don't really care if she is or isn't. All I know is, she doesn't sell that scene. Not for me. I know she's faking it. Trust me, I know what faking is like. Dealing with it my whole life.
Sad, ain't it? But now do you know why I hate your lying sack of shit mom?
Kidding.
I thought I'd be the only one at the theater. Naturally, I stretched out and made myself comfortable. Taking off my pants crossed my mind, but god knows what is on theater chairs and I ended up keeping the goods covered. That turned out to be a great decision. Not just good, not bad at all, and definitely an example of my intuitiveness.
Not only did a handful of people come into the theater, but there was going to be some sex up in there. Shocked the shit out of me. Don't get me wrong, I know there's a lot of sex up in movie theaters, but that's shit I expect from high school kids, not two middle aged men.
There's a part in Un Long Dimanche de Fiançailles where the audio goes quiet and someone gets beheaded. Problem is there was excessive slurping noises and there wasn't an Icee in sight. A squeaky chair signaled its need for oil as it screamed a syncopated beat. As someone lost a head onscreen, someone in the theater got some.
The girl sitting in the row in front of me must have got an eyeful. She got up and plunked down next to me. We gave each other a look and almost cracked up. It was kind of awkward.
Actually, it was really awkward. In French, it's called really fucking awkward. Oh well. Sava.
Her husband doesn't really like going to the movies. Loves to rent because he can watch something in the comfort of his own home and also because it's cheaper than going out. I could relate because my dad is the same way.
Both my dad and her husband like war movies, but we suspect they'd hate this one. She started to remark how crazy it is that my dad and her husband are alike even though they're separated by at least twenty five years. Then she said something kind of weird about my dad being her husband and her being my mom.
I let out a nervous laugh because that is some twisted shit to say to a stranger outside a movie theater. To add to that, she's not that much older than me. A decade maybe? I looked at my watch even though I wasn't wearing one and said, "Hey, Crazy Bitch, it was nice chatting with you but I gotta go."
"Well where are you off to? Getting something to eat?"
I just kind of nodded and started to walk towards my car.
"Mind if I tag along?"
What the fuck? "Actually, I'm going home to eat."
"Sure you don't want some company?"
"Yeah." I got in my car quick and got away from Crazy Bitch as soon as possible. Oh well. Sava.
