JULIE STORY # 1… MouseHunt
vs. 9 ½ Weeks
I have SO many funny stories that involve my friend
Julie that I have decided to start a “Collection” called JULIE STORIES. I
plan to share my favorite Julie Stories from time to time.
This first Julie Story starts with a mother of four
children named Julie. Years ago, she rented a movie to babysit her 2nd
grade son since she needed to get some important things done.
Like a good mother, she rented a movie she thought
her son would enjoy, MouseHunt.
She gave him the movie rental and started doing her
work. Her son called down from the playroom and claimed that there
was not a mouse in the movie. Although she had never seen the movie, she
assured him that the mouse would appear soon and told him to go back and watch the cute
movie.
He called down a couple more times bothering her
about the no mouse issue and she kept shooing him back upstairs to watch the movie. He finally
finished the movie.
The next day, her son invited his cousin over to
watch the “mouse movie”. When Julie was in the upstairs hallway and
heard strange moaning noises coming from the playroom, she went in to
investigate.
This was back before Redbox machines - a time
when a human Blockbuster employee supposedly checked the returned movies and
made sure the cases weren’t mixed up. Oops. As it turns out, the
movie in the MouseHunt case was 9 ½ Weeks!!! In case you’ve never heard
of 9 ½ Weeks… According to Wikipedia.org, “The title of the film
refers to the duration of a relationship between Wall Street arbitrageur
John Gray (Mickey Rourke) and divorced SoHo art gallery employee
Elizabeth McGraw (Kim Basinger). The two meet and have a volatile and somewhat
kinky sex life involving a variety of sexual and erotic acts.” It’s rated
R. Duh. Yes, the work “kinky” jumped out at you. Admit it.
Julie called her sister to apologize for the
mistake – in case her nephew told his mom that he had seen a movie at his
cousin’s house in which the people were “riding each other like horses” (her
son’s description).
BTW - There really is a mouse in the movie
MouseHunt… or so I’ve heard.
Too bad I can’t do a follow-up on what percentage
of you will now rent the movie 9 ½ Weeks.
…and that’s my 2 cents’ worth, Cheryl
