My Life Was Changed By A Train

I really thought it was innovative in its hilariousness. I laughed out loud at MANY parts of the movie and, since Katie had warned me, I wasn’t at all off-put by the toilet humor. Judd Apatow’s humor is different than anyone else making movies.

I would agree that certain people wouldn’t find it so funny, but I did, and mainly because I could identify with it. I KNOW those guys in that movie. I KNOW women like the ones in the movie too. It could have happened to me (it could still, I guess!) and some of that stuff has happened to me. I’d recommend it to many people. I wouldn’t say all people.

Like my mom.

Okay, its not that much of a spoiler.

So they show the baby crowning in the movie. They. Show. It. Now, it doesn’t bother me, offend me, disgust me, or anything and I had already heard they did, but I was still a little surprised. I was telling my (MWC) friend about it this morning, and she said, “I don’t see what the big deal is.” I realized how different people can be, the kid-having, and the child-less. She has done and said things like this in the past, just a passing and nonchalant ever-so-slight dig. “I can’t imagine what it must be like to still be dating.”

Now, I’ve seen a birth before, a couple of home movies from friends. I truly felt she was almost insulting me because I had found that shocking. I am well aware of how babies are made, grown, and born, but, just like I asked her, “Name ONE R-rated movie that you actually see a woman’s VAGINA!” You can’t. I’d guess it doesn’t exist, because as soon as you show the, um, you know, for lack of a better term, money shot, I’d guess it becomes X-rated. But she was condescending in her tone, it was as if I shouldn’t be shocked at all by a pretty-realistic childbirth scene in a very popular movie.
