So, when I started out with the intent of writing this blog it was going to be about the chain of events that led to Jennifer and me watching "Soapdish" this weekend. But then I had some additional interesting thoughts.
As it started, we were looking for a movie to watch and came across one with Maggie Smith and Kevin Klein in it called "My Old Lady". It's about a man who inherits an apartment from his father and learns there is under un viager. Towards the end there is a possibility the woman he sleeps with is his half-sister, and so when the movie was done and we wanted to watch something else, I said, "Well, since we had the chance of incest in this one, we should watch his other one that almost had incest 'Soapdish'."
And then, I thought he was really great in "A Fish Called Wanda" but... wait. Wasn't there an incest twist to that one? Sure, Otto and Wanda weren't really brother and sister, but everyone else thought they were, and there was Wanda's great line about how her intentions wouldn't be different if he really was her brother.
Maybe, I should look through some of his other movies and see if there are any others that have an incest theme in them.
