Parental Guidance

I have the very good fortune of having really terrific parents who are well rounded in all aspects of culture. So of course when Inside Deep Throat debuted my parents were hip to go and support opening weekend. We went to the 4PM Saturday afternoon screening together and sat with an almost full house. It had been my third time seeing the film and, like something else people are fond of practicing, it just gets better and better.

My parents loved it. They have their own "seeing Deep Throat for the first time" stories. People are astounded that I would see a movie like that with my parents. Some say they "would never" – well, hell, how do you think you got here? Aren't some things meant to come full circle? If you can't have a good laugh about sex with your p's, what can you do?

I hope people are going to see the movie in the theater now. I was just in Chicago at the Esquire and I encouraged a really colorful couple to see the film. The bill on the marquee featured Inside Deep Throat and Finding Neverland. I have no doubt they found what they were looking for.
