Encounters of the Awkward kind
So you’re sitting there, watching a movie with your parents. And then all of the sudden you realize that there is a passing mention of sex… instant awkward situation.

Ok not just a passing mention, really the whole movie. Have you ever seen The Guru? If not go to IMDB look it up. In fact don’t bother, I’ll do it for you…. *typing sounds* *clicking* Ok here it is. This will get my point across “Also Known As: Guru of Sex, The (working title)” and “MPAA: Rated R for strong sexual content including dialogue, and for language.” It’s a comedy and pretty funny, but can you imagine watching that with your parents?? Is it just me or should these movies have a little warning on them. Kind of like the “Parental Advisory: Explicit Content” on music, except different. It should read “Child Advisory: Don’t Watch with Parents.” I really didn’t need to be sitting in the same living room with my parents when the misguided protagonist ends up on a porno set (thank god no actual “scenes”) and doesn’t get paid because “There isn’t any Wood.”

Now in a way I think this probably happens to everyone. The first time (and I think the next most recent) this happened to me was watching Shindler’s List. Great film, war film, wait what the hell is the commandant’s mistress doing there naked?!?! Oh ok she’s gone, that was kind of weird, having my parents watching this with me, oh shit, there she is again. Sitting here, very calm, trying not to seem to interested, or like I notice anything at all… it’s just another scene of a movie, a cartoon! nothing I wouldn’t want to be around my parents watching. Yeah that’s it a cartoon! With little animals! Running around…. getting shot… by Nazis ….. Ok maybe my problem isn’t seeing these things with parents it’s my handling of the situation. Really its all in the mind. It’s like Ramu (the title character of The Guru) says “The brain is the biggest sexual organ” Oh damn it! no that’s not it…. *sigh* I think I’m just going to stick to Disney and movies I’ve already seen and pre approved when it comes to seeing things with parents.
