Those Akward moments

Postby hyperpep111 » Fri Oct 21, 2011 2:10 pm

You know, the ones which you're sitting down with your parents, watching a movie. All is well.
UNTIL a part where a "scene" comes on. You have no idea what to do. Should you fast forward the movie, get up and leave the room, Comment about it or just sit and watch the scene like nothings happening? It's one of the most difficult decisions to make.
Seriously parents What DO I do.
Cause even transformers 2 had it. What a disappointment :'(

I'm pretty frank with my parents...usually I just say "We all know that I'd love to watch this, but for now, we'll just skip this part."  ;D

I generally avoid Films which contain heavy breathing and dubious forms of energetic exercise, involving bodies...

I get more than enough excitement nowadays from mowing my grass.... ;)...!

When it comes to any sort of media entertainment, if it seems unfit for a six-year-old to watch, I consider it unfit for anyone else. My opinion echoes an older generation: the more private clothes stay on and we avoid the show beyond the kiss -- older watchers can use their imagination (or not) like anyone else.
Unfortunately, the media industry has infused what was once 'adult only' into general access realms and society is paying a price (double entendre: the monetary one is as important to the perpetrators, perhaps in accompaniment to their own titillation). The way I wear my hair (which, although now modified, has more to do with a vow subsequently related to certain murdered, pre-Norman English friars) and general appearance seems to attract many of the younger members of the opposite sex (not to argue faux pas of recent NH law, increased attention by the sexually disoriented is more offensive). I'm not just speaking of teens -- children as young as six have expected something they should not! The word ridiculous is even below a mild descriptive application.
It would be so nice for an entire family to be able to watch any given film together. 'Adult' films should be adult only and labelled so; I once had the embarrassment of starting a rented film of what 'appeared' to be a military adventure story -- until it got to the sexually, fully exposing scenes; I complained to the rental that it belonged in their Adult only section but it wound up right back in the General Adventure section.
Sorry about the rant. I know it's nigh Halloween but I'll refrain about excessive gore, often combined with the sexually explicit.

EXACTLY. If you're making a movie with "content" call it just that Donj't come putting those into transformers which if I remember properly was originally for 6-13 transformers 1 was awesome, transformers 2 was a waste of time and transformers 3 is not worth my time and money just because of that >:( >:( . If you're making an adult movie, DO NOT label it pg-13 or 16 put it at 18+ no point going to the cinemas and spending half the time covering your face cause it says that it's pg-13. My frustration cant be put in words >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(.
But the problem is that movie directors think that ruining a children's movie is fine because of the money. All my teenage friends jut watched transformers to look at Megan Fox and Shia's faces. Since they're leaving, teenagers wont watch it any more. I'm just using the transformers cause transformers 2 ruined my love for transformers toys before Michael Bay re-enforced that with transformers and made me throw away all my toy robots in disgust. And from what I heard the fool still hasn't learned the lesson in the third. Not worth my time at all >:( >:( >:(.

I guess you don't watch golf, bowling or any sport for that manner ;D

I don't understand :-?. It is funny though ;D. Even though I don't understand ;).

You are right....... ;)....!

English Football contains more team kissing, cuddling, stroking, and overall bodily contact, upon scoring a goal, than a can bear to watch.... :o...!

Apart from "Lawn Mowing", I have no interest in any other form of "Sport"... ;D...!

Have I missed something? What has this transformers got that the first dozen did not? Are we taking Long John Maximus Prime or Bumble Bee Does Dallas............or some industry standard gob swapping between the main protagonists??

His outside sports criteria is in reverse: he may [glow=yellow,2,300]flog[/glow] about the green of his lawn; his bowling is restricted to the kitchen and, perhaps, the rolling of the pin, not a large solid ball.

Yeah.....Im married...so I just make comments on it. If not, my parents would anyways since I am married. They don't hold back at all. There are certain things you just do NOT want to hear your parents talk about or have a conversation with them about.

That said, if you think a scene in a movie is awkward to watch with your parents, wait until your wedding day when GRANDPARENTS, parents, and everyone else go on and on and on about your up-coming honeymoon!

I got married just over 2 months ago so the awkward conversations with numerous people on that day are still fresh in my memory.

That's why my wife and I eloped in Hawaii, and didn't tell the parents until after the honeymoon.   ;)

I showed my mother '2 girls 1 cup'... She merely replied with "I've seen worse at work". She's a midwife turned-heath-visitor.  ;D

I've never shown such things to my father, but there's never been an awkward moment in films for us. Even when I was 8 or 10 I would watch South Park with the parents, and that's typically contraversial  :P

This is why I married someone who wasn't English! The respective parties of in-laws have to use the missus or me for translation and this prevents those "moments" from cropping up in conversation ;D
