Kissing the Nude Pot Smoking Mom in the Pool

Last night we watched a provocative movie called "Laurel Canyon," at the house with our friends Jack and Laura. We had a fire going and it was fun to enjoy a movie none of us knew anything about--another Blockbuster Surprise.

The movie began with a sex scene. A woman named Alex, (Kate Beckinsdale) told her partner she 'was good' before the gent even had time to finish. Interesting. The pair were moving west into the house of his mother, a pot-smoking hippy record producer, (Frances McDormand), who was in "Friends with Money."

The scene at the house was bubbling bongs, musicians and passing joints, and the uptight Alex is upstairs trying to write her dissertation about genetics. The musicians crank out tunes and inquire about what she's writing--"We've been to university, we will understand what it's about," they tell her.

Before long Alex gets tempted and as her hubby is off doing medical things, she tokes on the doob and kisses (gasp!) his mother Jane.

Later we see that Alex has become interested in the buzzhead musicians and especially, that the mom's boyfriend Ian is quite interested in Alex. We watch mom and Ian frolick nude in the pool, and Alex strips down to bra and panties (oh rats!) to join them. Whoa again, as she kisses mom and we almost see her going down on Ian. But no---this is only an R-rated movie, so mom comes to her senses, and then the hubby barges in.

Hubby of course is not saint, he is observed necking in the car with a foxy husky voiced Russian co-worker. But he turns her down, only to find almost-a-threesome going on, but breaks it up.

Needless to say, no one fell asleep despite the copious pourings of white wine and Belvedere Vodka.
