I got home just now from my parents' place where we were watching the ending of
Maou, and as I was coming up the stairs to see Bree, I was all set to get onto a roll about how much it pissesmeoff!/kindofimpressesme! that my father has this uncanny ability to wait until the absolute-heaviest, most climactic scene of any film, and utterly ruin it by opening his obnoxious mouth with some ignorant white-trash, dumb-ass comment.
That may sound a tad harsh...but
seriously he does it
every time! During every
thing! If we watched Bambi he'd wait until "Your mother can't be with you anymore" to tell us how bloodsports are a noble manlyAmericanman's-man's pastime, and anyone who disagrees is obviously a commie faggot. He'd probably throw in a whiney lisp and limp wrist for good measure, because that always goes over so well with my mom and me (I think I've been making the "Maou-face" long before Ohno). It's like either a statistical miracle, or my father is a sadistic evil genius...Hmm...
So as I'm getting up the last few steps and I see Alex and Bree in their room, I start into it, "You know, I think my dad has some kind of super-power! I mean freakin' seriously, anytime we're in the middle of watching something..." And this is of course when I notice the big huge OMG!dramatic scene currently unfurling on the TV beside me.
"Um. Nevermind."
I think they're watching
Letters from Iwo Jima. There may even have been a crying Nino.
Crap.
This post is about me hiding in my room with my tail between my legs, lamenting the fact that "inability to read the atmosphere" is apparently hereditary.
Crap crap crap.
