Answer: Absoultely nothing. And that the problem!
So a related question: How inappropriate do y'all think it'd be for me to take my mother to see Grindhouse this weekend? She's coming in tomorrow night to visit through Tuesday and, as anyone reading this should very well know, Grindhouse opens tomorrow (tonight even, here in NYC, but with work in the morning I don't think hitting the midnight screening of a three-hour movie is exactly well-advised), and these two diametrically-opposed forces are causing me major stomach cramps.
See, my mother's idea of a great movie is Snow Dogs. And see, we... differ... here.
In case you haven't noticed, I reeeeeeeeally wanna see Grindhouse. Bad. The phrase "ROSE MCGOWAN HAS A MACHINE-GUN FOR A LEG" has been sorta the prayer I whisper myself to sleep with for weeks now.
Would I scar my mama for life by taking her to watch 3 hours of boobs, bullets and blood? She was of age in the seventies; hell, on her first date with my father they went to see The Exorcist! She's could do this, right?
I know the answer to this question is no, no she couldn't, and I'd be a very bad son indeed to take my Cuba-loving mother to see Grindhouse, and that I'm just going to have to wait. Gods-damn-it!!!
