Movie Club Interview: Part 1

Rate: 51 Flag

 mom interview

Decandent Sundae: Could I please be the first one to ask for more information about the tongue balls?

Louise:  “Tongue balls?”

Mom:  “Louise, you don’t know about tongue balls?”

Louise:  “No.  What causes them?”

Mom:  “Stupidity.”

 

Lisa Kern:  I'll have to ask how Bob is. Any more M & M gifts we should know about?

Bob:  “Tell Lisa that I’m just fine.  I might take bathroom breaks often, but other than that I’m in fine health.”

Louise, Tansy, Mom:  “Teeheheheeehehee.”

Bob:  “There might be a few more M&Ms up my sleeve.”

Louise, Tansy, Mom:  “Teeheheheeeheheee.”

 

Ablonde: Did any of the ladies participate in adult relations prior to marriage?
Did any of the ladies participate in adult relations outside their marriage?

Mom:  “Why would we talk about that unless we were being paid?”

Tansy:  “Are you saying that we should be paid for having adult relations outside of marriage?”

Mom, Louise:  “NO!”

Thelma:  “Not a bad idea if you ask me.”


Ablonde: If they had to do it over again, would they watch "Kill Bill" 1 or 2 or no to either one?

Mom:  “Kill Bills were awful, but it was fun to complain about them.”

Louise:  “Yes, it was nice to have something to fret about.”

Bob:  “I kind of liked the movies.  They were very colorful.”

Thelma:  “You just liked that the tall blonde lady had a baby with that dried up beef jerky man.”

Bob:  “A man can hope Thelma.”

Louise, Tansy, Mom:  “Teeeheheheeeheheee.”


Ablonde: Any advice about menopause?

Mom:  “Menopause didn’t really affect me too much.”

Me:  “::snort::”

Mom:  “What?”

Me:  “Nothing, nothing.”

Louise:  “I can tell you in my first year of menopause I went nutty.  I ran away from home over a wet towel left on the bed.  I went and stayed with my aunt that never got married.  I thought she had it all figured out.”

Mom:  “How long did you stay gone?”

Louise:  “Until I figured out that my aunt hadn’t figured it all out after all.  She just had a special girlfriend.”

Tansy:  “We’re special girlfriends.”

Louise:  “Tansy, we’re not that kind of special girlfriends.”

Tansy:  “I consider you my special girlfriends!”

Mom:  “Tansy, does that mean you want to use your tongue ball on us?”

Tansy:  “::gasp:: What?.... Ooooooohhhhhhhhh.  Special girlfriend.  Oh, I get it.”

 

Lisa Solod Warren:  Ask if Thelma and Louise have seen that movie about them. And what they think about that!

Louise:  “There’s a movie about us?”

Thelma:  “No one paid me.”

Me:  “She’s talking about Thelma and Louise.  Have you guys seen that?”

Bob:  “I have.  Fine movie.”

Louise:  “I don’t think I’ve seen that one.”

Thelma:  “I haven’t.”

Mom:  “We’ll put it on the list.”

 

Ablonde: Will everything "down there" really dry up?

Bob:  “::cough::”

Mom:  “We should move on to the next question.”



Ablonde:  Is drinking (alcohol) underrated?

Tansy:  “I think it’s important to stay hydrated.”

Louise:  “The question was about alcohol Tansy.”

Tansy:  “I know.”


odetteroulette:  In reference to movies, what is their favorite movie? Favorite movie star?

Mom:  “I love Trip to Bountiful..  My favorite movie star was Eve Arden.  I just liked her.  She was sneaky funny.  I don’t think she got the attention she should have.”

Louise:  “My favorite is Gone With the Wind.  Betty I’m sort of surprised that wasn’t your favorite movie too.”

Mom:  “Scarlett was a spoiled brat.”

Louise:  “My favorite movie star is Barbara Stanwyck.  I always wanted to be like her.  She always played a strong woman in the movies.”

Bob:  “I love El Dorado.  That movie was all about good friends.  You don’t hear as much about that movie as you do some of The Duke’s other films.  Shame, because it’s a good one.  And I always wanted to be as suave as Laurence Olivier.”

Mom:  “You are Bob.”

Louise, Mom, Tansy:  “Teeheheheeee.”

Thelma:  Sunset Boulevard.  Hard not to like a movie when the right person ends up shot.  Who could ever be as wonderful as Katherine Hepburn?  No one, I tell you.”

Tansy:  “I just love Pretty Woman.  What a fun movie!”

Mom:  “Tansy, it was about a prostitute.  That whole movie was sort of insulting to women, well and men too.”

Tansy:  “Oh poo Betty.  It was fun to watch her go shopping for all those pretty clothes.  It’s a movie.  It doesn’t have to preach to us.  Movies can just be fun too.”

Mom:  “I guess…”

Tansy:  “My favorite star is George Clooney.”

Louise:  “George Clooney?  For what movie?”

Tansy:  “I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of his movies.  But he is a very pretty man.”

Thelma:  “::snort::”


Ablonde: Does size matter?

Mom:  “Size of what?”

Louise:  “That’s sort of a vague question.  I think you need enough space to be comfortable.  I’m fine with my one bedroom apartment.”

Tansy:  “It would be nice to have a crafting room though.”

Louise:  “That would be a real luxury.”

Mom:  “You heard about that rich lady that has a room for just her wrapping paper?”

Louise:  “I think that might be a sin.  So I guess we could say, yes, size is important.”

 

Catamitebastard:  What, EXACTLY, happened with that pot roast in '61?

Mom, Bob, Louise, Tansy, Thelma:  “….”

Mom, Bob, Louise, Tansy, Thelma:  “….”

Mom:  “Deven, what exactly is the questioner going on about?”

Me:  “…ah.. I think he was trying to be funny.”

Mom:  “Well bless his little confused heart.”

 

 odetteroulette: Did any of them live through the Depression? What was that like?

Louise:  “I think all of us were youngsters during the Depression.  I remember the rationing stamps.  My mother loved to bake and she would trade sugar for coffee with one of our boarders.”

Mom:  “Now that’s something that you’re hearing people talk about again, taking in boarders.  We always had two or three.  I never had a bedroom.  Not even to share.  My sisters and I slept in beds in the upstairs hallway.  Now kids are grumpy if they don’t have their own bathrooms.”

Thelma:  “We were pretty well off during the Depression.  My father worked for Lucky Strike.  We had cigarettes shoved into candy dishes.  My parents smoked.  They were told they had to for the appearance of it.  All of us girls hated smoking.  I remember my mother going down to the market and handing out cigarettes to the men waiting there for day labor.”

Bob:  “I grew up on a farm not far from here.  I really didn’t have a concept of what The Depression was about.  We were fine.”

Tansy:  “My mother was a seamstress.  Dad died before I could remember him.  We lived with my aunt who ran a refined ladies boarding home.  I remember all of us playing fashion show.  The ladies would pretend to be shoppers and we would model the clothes for them.  I don’t think I was old enough to know I was suppose to be miserable.”


ePriddy:  Does size stay the same over time or does it shrivel with the man and the skin?

Thelma:  “These diary people are perverts.”

Bob:  “Well by the time a man might notice, it’s too late for anyone else to care.”

Mom, Louise, Tansy:  “Teeeheheheeee.”

 

Donna Sandstrom:  I would like to know, from each of them, what movie do they think that we should see?

Thelma:  All About Eve.  That movie has the best script of any film.  Not like these silly movies now, all flash and nothing to really say except for the most obvious things.”

Louise:  Cabaret.  And not because it’s a musical.  I always thought that movie showed how big things could be crumbling around you, but you’re still more concerned with love.”

Mom:  The Best Years of Our Lives.”  That movie showed how sometimes trying to make a family work is more scary than war.”

Bob:  “Sometimes you just need a good laugh.  The Road to Morocco is just a good time.”

Tansy:  To Catch A Thief.”  That movie has the best kiss scene!”

 

(I'm going to stop here for now.  I didn't realize how long this thing was.  I'll post part two on Sunday.  You do know y'all are perverts, right?)

Wonderful so far, didn't even think about length, so to speak. I sent in a question, or is this from something else? Love the answers, especially the coy giggles.
Yes. Well, at least, I knew I was.
You did. It's in the next batch.
Let me fill your goblet to overflowing with my finest vintage of gratitude. A literary gem, redefining the Proustian interview style in a manner not seen yet.

I bow before you, and to the members of the academy of mature film reviewers.
What a hoot! I love their totaly cluelessness regarding the does size matter question!

Loving this whole thing!
Ablonde that should freak them out.
Anxiously awaiting part II - does Bob know you keep track of how often he pees?
Bob knows he pees a lot. I don't think he knows I keep hatch mark track of it. I should probably be ashamed.
Darn! I forgot to ask a question! Fun read. Tell whomever made the sign that they spelled Interview wrong, or was that on purpose.( Sorry, I just can't help my anal-ity)
Oh, and if you're living right, IT doesn't dry up, it gets juicier.
I like the "active room" - and 2pm tonight.
Should we have chipped in for snacks? The sign says NO SNACKS!
Louise forgot to assign someone. There was much talk about the lack of snack. Tansy had some kind of mystery hard candy she offered to bring out. It was veto'ed down.
I made popcorn to snack on while I read this, but I keep snorting and spewing it out each time you get to Bob's comments.

:) Rated and eagerly anticipating Part II
TD .... funny how reading ole' people's answers to ridiculous questions, has made my friday night! 'course I AM on OS, aren't I?
I just love this! Can't wait for part 2... (They're lovin' this, aren't they?)
This was amazingly wonderfully luxurious to read. I felt like I was there sitting in a circle on folding chairs, talking with them! I loved the reflective answers about what movies they'd reach recommend - I'm going to watch them all, and write a review of each for you to give them. Then they can laugh at me, and you can make a post of them laughing at me, so that it's sort of a meta laugh on me. That ought to satisfy the appetite a few people have around here to see me fed to wolves. Why not old gray wolves?!

The discussion does size matter was like taking hallucinatory drugs, but better.

"Hard not to like a movie when the right person ends up shot. " is one of the greatest movie critique lines I've ever heard.

Whoever asked about their memories of the Great Depression, I'm so glad they did (I'm too lazy to scroll up and look) - I'd like to hear a chapter's worth from each of them.

The movie club could become more famous than those Beardstown Ladies. They could be a cult hit. You should YouTube a show - movie review, Siskel & Ebert style, but with 5 of them.
I so love the Movie Club. Rated.
"What causes them?"

"Stupidity."

Rated.
So, I'm taking it that tongue balls aren't anything like blue tonsils, then? Drat - my curiousity is doomed to go unsated.

Thanks for posting this - I desperately needed something to laugh about this afternoon, and this came just in time.
OMG, as the kids say, I'm totally loving this, including how the answers build on each other. I can't wait for the rest!
And I still can't believe no one from Hollywood has swooped down to buy up the TV sitcom rights to this. It's like the Golden Girls but a million times better.
I love that Louise ran away over a wet towel on the bed. Way to make a stand. Maybe if I did that over the fresh towel each shower, then throw on the bathroom floor behavior, that might start listening to me, damn it!
Honestly, all those movies are really wonderful. Now, I want to see them all again.

And tell Tansy, wow, George Clooney is LOVELY, isn't he?

And thanks for the stories about the Depression. I figured they were kids but might remember a few things.

Really great stuff. Now, I want there to be a second interview!!
Thank you guys. My notify by mail thing must be broken, or Freaky jammed it up somehow.

Sandra, you know I think the world of you. Why anyone would try to make you feel rotten is simply beyond me. You are one of the loveliest people on OS. The ladies would get a kick out of reverse reviews.

Decadent Sundae, you ain't fooling me. You know what tongue balls are.

PF, if you find a course of action that will end wet towels on the bed or floor, please, you owe it to humanity to share it.

odetteroulette, Tansy seemed rather fuzzy on what movies George had been in. She did note that he appears quite often in the pages of People.

The depression question was good. I learned a lot from their answers. I'm thinking that I might do something where I'll write a post about each of the ladies. Tansy had a few stories about the refined ladies boarding house, to the point that I believe that she could have a blog of her own.

I'm going to have to find another bottle of 'quil. I don't know if I have the 'flu or just wicked allergies. My entire head is swollen up. You might want to stay tuned, it's possible that I'll be incoherently back later this evening all cold med'ed up. That should make for some regrettable commenting on my part.
So good I read it out loud to The Man.

(thumbified for group participation!)
Why don't I know what tongue balls are?

This is delicious.

denese
This is as good as it gets. Thank you!

I need to learn this: “Why would we talk about that unless we were being paid?
I would completely love a post about each of them. A boarding house for 'refined ladies.' Wow. Excellent.
This is wonderful, as always. T&D - I know they're giving you good material, but I gotta say, you capture it so beautifully.

Here's the thing that almost made me spew Diet Coke on the cat: I could have sworn that I read that Louise said "I can tell you in my first year of menopause I went rutty." Maybe my brain was stuck on tongue balls and adult relations. Then again, maybe I just need to clean my glasses!
P.S. I totally dig the new banner. How long has it been up?
Thanks for a well needed laugh tonight. rated (:
I like "rutty".

I changed the masthead today. I was bored. I'm not certain I like it.
Oh my gawd...I don't think I'll ever stop laughing over their answers to the size question.

Please be sure to tell them that they're terrific for being so gracious as to answer our questions for us.
oh God, I loved their answers, esp. about size (in physical space) and Bob's about when you notice it doesn't matter. Also, I DO hope they watch Thelma and Louise and sorry about the typo in my question (Deven you shoulda caught that!!:))
Too good but makes me really miss my gram.
Brilliant questions, especially Odette's about the Depression -- and equally brilliant responses.

Rated on account of I can't wait for Part Deux.
I like the new banner, too! the Psycho pic is hilarious.
I hope you do individual interviews, the answers to the Depression question were interesting to read.
You know it took me till the 'special girlfriends' to understand what the heck tongue balls were. I was like...tongue balls...tongue ball...hm...what could that be
Lisa, I "fixed" it - I think. I changed the "and" to "ask". I didn't think it was a typo. We sort of talk like that.

My comment to mail thing is broken!
I like to believe that is me on the poster
What good sports!!!
teeeheeheeeee
yeah, there are a lot of perverts here...
Ablonde: Is drinking (alcohol) underrated?

Tansy: “I think it’s important to stay hydrated.”

Louise: “The question was about alcohol Tansy.”

Tansy: “I know.”


I can see my future and I'm Tansy.
This is great, as expected.
“I love Trip to Bountiful.. My favorite movie star was Eve Arden. I just liked her. She was sneaky funny. I don’t think she got the attention she should have.”

I am your mom's soul mate! (But not special girlfriend...)
What a great group of molls. They should all get motorcycle jackets with "Movie Club" embroidered on the back in rhinestones.

Looking forward to the next part, as always.
Love this!! To Catch a Thief is the best movie ever!
I had to pick a name and sign up and everything, just so I could tell you I have been reading you for months and it is truly a highlight of my week when you post. I don't recall how I found you, but I'm so glad I did. Thank you for your blog.
