Ever since my kids stumbled upon the “Dunk-a-chino” scene in Adam Sandler’s movie Jack & Jill, they’ve been a little obsessed.
I can’t explain it in all it’s glory, so here it is:
Amazing, right?
They randomly sing it during the day. I get up to pee and it’s playing in my mind at night. 🎶 Dunk-a, dunk-a, dunk-a-chino! 🎶 Its great!
Just kidding. It’s not great. It’s very annoying.
One good thing that’s come of this is that my eldest wants to watch all Al Pacino’s movies. This is something I can get on board with!
We recently watched both Godfather movies (does 3 even really count?). He loved part one. The second, not so much.
I’ve always gone on and on about 2 being better than 1, because of Vito’s backstory (I mean, it’s young Robert DeNiro after all 😍) but watching them back to back, I have to admit that 1 blows 2 out of the water.
Speaking of blowing things out of the water, or in this case, being blown into the water — a pool of water right below the balcony of Cuban drug lord, Tony Montana’s, bedroom — we just watched Scarface.
He loved it.
I mean … of course he did.
As I’m writing, I feel the judgey judgerson’s judging my parent. To that I say – give me a fuckin break 🙄 When I was 15, I was doing a ton of bad things that were not under my parents’ watchful eye, and I turned out ok.
Right?
Right?

Well anyway, he has access to the internet, so let’s all wake up and realize they’ve seen it all already, ok?
It’s such a ridiculous, over-the-top movie, it’s pretty much like a comedy.
It’s also an incredibly effective PSA on the dangers of doing drugs!
Right up there with South Park’s Mr. Mackey warning: Drugs are bad mmmkayyyy….
Teara doesn’t like The Godfather movies and has never watched them. She claims she “hates movies that glorify the mafia and violence.”
I think it’s really because she thinks they look “boring” and “dirty” – the top 2 reasons she doesn’t watch movies that don’t glorify the mafia or violence.
So when Tony Montana has a giant pile of yeyo on his desk and sticks his face in it to sniff it up, then gets shot like 20 times and doesn’t die because of all the pure cocainaaa coursing through his veins, I asked, “Do you think Aunt Tara would like this movie?” His reply, “Definitely.”
Next up… Scent of a Woman. HOO-AH!
