Spanking The Monkey
sharegaah, beat me by three minutes.
this is the right answer.
What did you mean by "beat me"?
shareas soon as i saw the thread title, spanking the monkey was the first thing that popped into my head. haven't seen it in 25 years, but it is permanently etched in my memory. and my memory truly sucks, so that's saying something.
and i came in only to find bull had posted the exact same thing 3 minutes earlier.
Could add some others to the list, but I think this would be the absolute worst: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067778/
At least Spanking The Monkey and other such movies portray mother-son sexuality as something sick, not to be encouraged. Murmur of the Heart has a teenage boy who ends up in bed with his mother, and treats it as a very special moment of closeness between them which will have no harmful aftereffects. Show that one to Mom and she'd likely think her son was coming on to her.
naturally it's french!
it's on the criterion channel...maaaaybe i'll watch it tomorrow. that's not something i'm pining to see, necessarily, but it's got a pretty tidy 3.8 letterboxd rating, so i'll probably check it out.
> it's on the criterion channel
Wow, that startled me. I had never looked at the Criterion Channel and didn't realize it was a streaming service like Netflix, I assumed it was a cable channel like HBO. I thought, if they're airing that movie on Mother's Day weekend, there are some real sickos in their executive ranks!
Central/Western Europe here - we've had it today as well.

This is news to me. I guess it's country by country.
shareDid a bit of research:
In most countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, among them the USA, Canada, most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, the Philippines and South Africa.
One notable exception to this rule are the UK and Ireland, which celebrate Mother's Day on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Most Arab countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 21st (vernal equinox). Most East European countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 8th.
That explains why a few of my relatives in the UK were posting Mother's Day stuff on Facebookon a different date and others on here saying they had it today.
