My Dad and Brother and the Crying Game

In talking to someone else the conversation went to "yeah, brokeback mountain would be weird to watch..but wouldn't it be even more weird to watch with someone else?" Most folks go with SOMEONE to see a movie..so i don't see why this would be any different..but word of mouth has some pretty strong gay sex scenes in this...who would you feel comfortable with in watching that with in a crowded theater while eating a hotdog and softpretzel? Your mom? Your dad? A best friend?

So, my point here is this got me thinking to a time back when i was in college and my brother was still at home with my dad and they'd rent video's some times to watch together. One night, Jeff rented "The Crying Game" thinking it would be a good suspense flick for him and dad to watch together....Obviously, if you are familiar with the crying game..it backfired..and in the process created a great conversation I had with jeff that i still cherish to this day:

Him: you ever watch the crying game?
Me: No..that's the one with...
Him: yeah, yeah....you ever watch gay porn?
Me: no..
Him: Well, that's what it was like.
Me: huh, that must have been uncomfortable
Him: yeah, imagaine watching gay porn alone and how uncomfortable that would be and now imagine watching it with DAD like i did.

That convo is embellished i'm sure...but i'm still chuckling in an evil way audibly while i type.
