When my dad was here, I wasn't well enough to do anything other than lounge around and watch movies. This is a picture of my dad during The Curious Case of BB...
As soon as I heard him snoring I would pause the film. He would awake with a,"How long was I out?" and I would rewind the film to get back to the part he remembered. It took us about six hours to watch the movie this way. I enjoyed the flick. I thought the themes about aging and love were excellent, and I enjoyed the trans racial adoption aspect of it. Did I mention that it was long?
In the middle of the other film, I said to Steven....
"You know the story of Harvey Milk right?"
He said, "No I don't," (which was a surprise because Steven Loves Abba is a friend to gays everywhere).
I said, "Oh, well what did you think Harvey Milk was about?"
He replied, "I thought it was the gay version of Boogie Nights."

Oh, you make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI love that shot of your dad! I guess all dad's are the same huh? Mine used to fall asleep in the exact same position watching tv... too funny! I wonder how long before Chris starts doing it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy dad came and stayed with us one time - he went out with friends for dinner. We were asleep when he came back and I woke up at 2:30 in the morning to the t.v. blaring and him snoring in exactly the same position as your dad!!
ReplyDeleteI so wanted to see Milk before the Oscars tonight - we did see an excellent documentary on OutTv on Harvey Milk so I don't really have to see the movie I just love Sean Penn

-who doesn't know why she just babble on for so long :)
The picture of your dad, and the story that follows, made me smile....
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I first saw Boogie Nights in LA with Az. We both thought it was about disco and were a little shocked. Misconceptions all around.
ReplyDeleteFurther proving that you are one of the funniest people I know.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you - I so needed that laugh!
ReplyDeleteI've seen not one movie this year - so I'm not voting either.
He he, we always tease my Dad about having narcolepsy b/c he can't stay awake for scarcely any type of tube watching. However, I am no better.
ReplyDeleteI would love to watch both those movies.

Your dad, he is a solid napper. He's very cute. Loved Boogie Nights, love Paul T. Anderson. I am pulling for Sean Penn tonight. He deserves it.

This is too funny! Especially now knowing the results. Perhaps they knew something we didn't.
