Venus

This is a good movie. But not for me. Jon and I were the youngest people in the audience by at least 20 years.

It showed promise in the beginning with the old friends exchanging old-person pills and living it up in a senior citizen kind of way. But as soon as the young girl was introduced and we are asked to see Peter as sexual, it goes south, so to speak. The image of Peter O'Toole saying "cunt" is burned in my head and it is not sexy. Peter O'Toole is an old, old man. I don't want to think about Peter O'Toole being sexual.


Not even this young Peter O'Toole.




And certainly not this old Peter.




(UPDATE: I just realized that "peter" is sometimes used as a word for penis, which makes a) his name hilarious and b) my post hilarious.)
