Was it just me or did anybody get grossed out by the part in the beginning of the film where Connie makes her son spit out whatever he is chewing and then puts it in her mouth and chews it herself.

I found that to be really gross.

Also, the scene where she dumps the cooked spaghetti into the colander right after taking it off her son's head.

Those two things just seem really unsanitary to me. Lol.

Love the movie, though.

One of my favorites.


reply

Yes! Completely agree on both points.

For some reason, the spaghetti thing is even more gross to me than the gum thing though. Lol.

reply

So glad I'm not the only one. I know there's a bond between a mother and her child, but I really think that was taking it way too far. Lol. Was that even gum he was chewing ??? It look like a huge gob of chewed up Tootsie Roll. Lol.

reply

Haha. I don't know. I just always assumed it was bubble gum because it was pink. But if it was a chewed up Tootsie roll or some other kind of candy, that's even more disgusting. Lol.

reply

Wow. I didn't even notice the color because it was such a turn off. I have to take a closer look next time. It just seemed that it was something bigger than gum since it appeared to be a mouthful and a lot of major chewing. Lol. Oh, well.....................

You'll think different when/if you have kids.
Everything about them comes from you so who cares about germs.
I saw some mothers suck up the running nose of their kids because they're too young to know how to sneeze yet..
That is gross, but it's just maternal instinct, so I actually find it beautiful :)

Beautiful? You're *beep* delusional. No doubt that you're a woman with a child. No, I won't think different when I have a child. I will use logic and common sense that sharing *beep* with your family is the worst thing you could do. That causes the flu, strep throat and other diseases.

I have no kids, and I'm from the south of France where people live less sanitised like where you must come from, and guess what, despite I might have shared a lot of germs with my mum, I have a very strong metabolism compared to people around me and I never get sick.
People like you I call them hypochondriac,you're so scared to get sick and scared of the smallest bacteria that you weaken your immune system and constantly get sick.
If you can't chew a gum your child chew before you, you have a problem, just remember he\she used to live inside yourself, and that is more "germs sharing" than anything you could ever do after that

reply

No doubt you freak out about stuff like that whereas you might smoke, take drugs, eat Macdonalds, or do otherthings that are way more dangerous to your health, but you're just to childish to actually being able to admit it.
Does that also mean you never kissed anybody cuz that's germs sharing through saliva as well ?

reply

Yeah, kissing someone is not even close to the same thing as sharing a chewed up piece of food. Think about it for a minute.

The very thought makes me want to vomit. I don't care if it is my own child. And I'm not a germaphobe by any means, but I draw the line there.

Just the mental visual of someone doing that and made me feel nauseous just now lol

Gee, what do they do if the kid gets constipated?


Go ahead, make my day....

reply

You saw a mother put her mouth over a kid's nose and suck the snot out?

That's completely disgusting and very hard to believe.
They make an apparatus that's sole purpose is for exactly that. Sucking out the mucus from nasal cavities.

reply

That was absolutely disgusting. I agree.

reply

*eye-rolling*...

reply

LOL, I barely noticed that in the first viewing.
You can be assured they switched the gum wad before she actually put it in her mouth. And the colander on the boys head was probably not the same one she put the spaghetti in. Those Hollywood types are probably more timid and squeamish than you and I together.

reply

Well, frankly speaking,
considering what Connie put in her mouth & in her body the rest of the film (sans condom too, yuck!!!).....gum was the least of her offenses!





I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

reply

No mother is disgusted by her child.




If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

reply

The chewing gum incident ...there is a different bond between a mother and son...I agree...I have done that to my daughter a few times....but the colander part....I think it was to show how she wasn't there....she was there physically but mentally her mind is scrambled....she is not focus...the chicken burning...in a hurry....she is losing herself on top of her being a mother and wife.....

filth..i shut it off.
