You know how I know you're gay?
1. You ordered a Toyota Prius two years ago, but cancelled the order after waiting a year and bought a PT Cruiser instead. A shiny red one.
2. You think that Jodie Foster is "hot".
3. When you watch "West Side Story", you sometimes answer email when Natalie Wood's character is onscreen, but know all George Chakiris's lines, and silently mouth them along with him.
4. Subscribe to "Maxim" or "Details".
5. You think John Derek was the REAL star of "The Ten Commandments".
6. You were raised in the New York City area, but root for the Yankees and Jets, not the Mets and Giants. Well, that may make you more "gay" than actually gay.
7. Have watched an entire episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond". Although, again maybe more "gay" than truly gay.
8. You have the DVD of "Top Gun" somewhere in your video library. And deny having it when asked. And may actually have it mixed in with the Jenna Jameson tapes.
9. You've watched "Titanic" not once but (and this is crucial) two or more times.
10. Can't wait for the shorts-wearing UPS man to arrive at your office every day, because he might possibly have a package for you.
-------------------------------------------------
"The 40 Year Old Virgin" has to be the funniest movie released since '99's "There's Something About Mary". The only ones I can think of that compare are "Shawn of the Dead" and possibly "Napolean Dynamite".
Apparently, a good part of "the virgin" was improvised during shooting, including the whole "you know how I know you're gay?" tangent. Seventeen or so minutes needed to be cut before release to avoid an NC-17 rating, which the vast majority of movie theaters won't show. Yes, Steve Carell's chest hair really was ripped from his body during the shooting of the hair waxing scene.
And yes, Asia was a kick butt band for a week back in the early '80's, with two kick butt songs. So I can see how someone would put a poster of them up on his wall (for 20 years).
The DVD contains some terrific stuff: Deleted scenes with commentary, including a great bit between Seth Rogan and Jane Lynch about the possibility of working for Home Depot. And a mercifully short "Bloopers" reel, as those tend to kind of suck.
Awesome DVD.
