The Overnight
What are your favorite examples of coitus interruptus in movies? What is your favorite way we try to pronounce it? I don’t even think we agreed on what the term means, but, as per usual, that doesn’t stop us from holding forth on the subject! Listen to the show to hear us lay out our picks and to hear Kelly read some listener submissions.
Jarhead - Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard train as a sniper team, go through endless boredom punctuated by witnessing the aftereffects of other units’ combat action in Operation Desert Storm. They are finally given a sniper assignment. Action at last! They get into position, snap into perfectly drilled procedure, spot the target, aim, and just as they’re about to finally take the one and only shot of their combat deployment…
Cruel Intentions - staged; Sebastian “catches” Kathryn and Ronald the chello teacher (or whatever it was he was tutoring Cecile in). Phillipe and Gellar are pretty entertaining when they’re going at each other in this movie (verbally, I mean). It’s not even the best one in the movie though.
Cruel Intentions - also staged! Sebastian walks in on the obviously gay Blaine and closeted proto-Frat boy Greg, aka “the Gregster”. Just in time for an “Oh Baby”. Where as Gellar’s attacks her scene with a feigned but amusing innocence, Blaine’s reaction is amazingly blasé (and 100% authentic, as opposed to Kathryn’s feigned innocense). He even starts filing his nails, sparing only a single eye roll for the back of Greg’s head.
