'Parenthood' on Tonight

[MirrOlure]

A masterpiece.

Someday, you youngsters will understand.

Truly one of the greatest works of late 20th Century.

 

[Hank_Kingsley]

Agreed. And I felt it was a classic as a youngster as well.

 

[MirrOlure]

"Nice shot son! It's important to be supportive!"

"When you're slidin' in to home and your shorts are full of foam......"

 

[MirrOlure]

"No Dad......its Gary.......your other son......."

 

[Knoxville-Horn]

"Well if she's so smart, why is she sitting in the neighbor's car?"

 

[Doperbo]

Your Lower Intestines!

 

[Hayden_Horn]

the look on the grandfather's face when cool's dad is basically asking him to raise his child is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.

"l assume you're watching these because you're curious about sex... you know. Or filmmaking."

"Gee whiz, Julie, there is so much about this that bothers me, I don't even know how to separate them. Oh! Whoo! Here's one for my wallet! "

Diane Wiest was incredible in that movie. Coupled with her role in Lost Boys, she's definitely on the Mt. Rushmore of 80's movie moms.

i wasn't allowed to watch this movie as a kid, and it's always had this kind of taboo allure to it.

not sure what my parents didn't want me to see. divorce? dildo's?

 

[TXSooner518]

man, this is a great movie. i haven't seen it in years, gotta see it again now that i have a daughter.

 

[Drew Shirley]

He likes to butt things with his head.

How proud you must be.

 

[youknow]

plumbing supplies

 

[HornBud]

That was an electric ear cleaner.

I didn't know myself until a couple of months ago. You see a few years ago, I was living in Vegas with this girl. Show girl. She was in that show 'Elvis On Ice'. Anywho, we drifted apart as people do in these complicated times and then a couple of months ago, she shows up with Cool and tells me "You watch him. I shot someone. I have to leave the country."... That's a parent?

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming ******* be a father.

"You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming ******* be a father."

 

[Don Johnson]

So I told him - that's what little dudes do.

 

[Do The Lance Dance]

"How did this happen?"

"Show him, honey"

 

[HornHawk]

"I'm waiting for her head to spin around."

 

[SigPi_Horn]

This is my son...Cool.

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

this is such a great movie

 

[CenTex Horn]

Dad to Larry: "First time I got laid was in a car like this."
Dad to Cool: "First time I got laid <pause>, story for another time."
----------------------
Dad: Well, you think he's funny. Well, when he was a kid, he wasn't as funny. Stayed in his room all day. Boy, you were a moody little son of a *****.
Gil: Gee, I wonder why....

I remember watching it around junior high or so.

I tivo'ed it last year and was immediately turned off when at the beginning Steve Martin says he is 31 (or 32) in the narrative. I could not believe it. Dude looks 40+ and is supposed to be 31? I was 32 when I tivo'ed it. I was so pissed off that I watched a few minutes and then deleted it.
