Memory

Today I am not posting wedding stuff. I will tomorrow though. Today I wanted to share an experience that I had, that related to a past experience. So yeah.. enjoy!!

Today something weird happened. I mean weird things happen all the time, depending on what you think is weird. But to me, this was weird. Let me go back to the beginning. About a year ago I was staying at my fiancés house (this is when he was still living with his parents) because I was living in the dorms and going home for the summer. Home for me is in North Carolina where my parents and brothers are. Eric who is my fiancé had the work schedule of 6am -2pm.
I was lucky enough to use that time to get to know my future mother-in-law, for a whole week. This wasn’t a drag or bummer to me. I was excited. She is a great woman and would always be asking if I was hungry and what not. Well, thinking that this would be great bonding time, I decided to rent a chick flick for us to watch.
I love Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman. Well I find a movie with both in it and some other famous actors and it sounds like a crazy romance.
I think with these actors it must be great. WRONG! Never think that, that’s why movies sometimes pay big actors. Anyways, we are watching the movie and so far it’s ok. We get to a scene where a man is iming another person very dirty things. I mean some dirty stuff especially when it’s in front of your boyfriend’s extremely catholic mother. Oh lord, this is my luck. Well after the iming the movie goes on to arguments and drama and kind of hard to follow. Two women shared the same man kinda storyline, but then one is a stripper.
This was the most traumatizing part. At the strip club is Natalie Portman flaunting her self very dirty like. Speaking dirty and the man, is so into it, (of course) Sorry. Anyways I want to die. My ears are on fire, no I am not worked up I am extremely embarrassed and disgusted. I look at Eric’s mom and I think she felt the same. The movie was horrible after wards we were still trying to figure out what exactly happened. I don’t know if we felt like that because we were both uncomfortable with the scenes or what.
But I remember after that all I heard was, you should have seen the movie tas made me watch. Yep, and that is how I bonded with my future mother-in-law. What brings me to this memory, is that today in my playwriting class, my teacher uses this movie as an example. I was shaking my head, inside of course, thinking what is she going to use from this movie. What left me confused is her choice of this movie.

Yes I understood when she explained the scene she chose, but I wonder did she enjoy this movie? Again maybe it was because of my environment. I don’t know though, Mrs. Boland is pretty cool, I just think the movie was in poor taste. So today I couldn’t believe that CLOSER( the movie) was in my play writing class as an example. This movie drives me crazy.. and what a shame because Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman are gorgeous and wonderful actors.
