Four Rooms
|
IMDB rating: 6.10 Plot: This movie features the collaborative directorial efforts of four new filmmakers, each of whom directs a segment of this comedy. It’s New Year’s Eve at the Mon Signor Hotel, a former grand old Hollywood hotel, now fallen upon hard times. Often using physical comedy and sight gags, this movie chronicles the slapstick misadventures of Ted, the Bellhop. He’s on his first night on the job, when he’s asked to help out a coven of witches in the Honeymoon Suite. Things only get worse when he delivers ice to the wrong room and ends up in a domestic argument at a really bad time. Next, he foolishly agrees to watch a gangster’s kids for him while he’s away. Finally, he finishes off the night refereeing a ghastly wager. |

My mother is a pain. Is she right or wrong?
I’m 23 years old, and FOR NOW, I am still living with my parents. That’s my grandmother, my aunt, and Godzilla… I mean, my mom. Now, everyone in my immediate family makes me want to pick up something heavy and throw it at them, but my mother is by far the worst. I can list almost all of the irritating and maddening things she does that make my life a living nightmare, but I’ll keep it to a minimum of four. First off, whenever I want to go somewhere special to chill (and yeah, I still have to ask her if I can…), or if I want to do anything remotely fun, she comes up with every reason possible to make me stay home and tells me I’m wrong for going to the same places over and over again; when in fact, I don’t! She does this every time. For example, there’s a sports bar I like to go to in Dallas called the Regal Beagle. It’s a pretty chill place for the most part… perhaps a bit of a dive, but… what can you do? I know a lot of the bartenders there, and they all seem cool to me whenever I’m there. My mother, basically, hates the fact that I have a social life, and frequently says that "people who like to hang out a lot are thugs…" Okay, I’m a thug for wanting to have a little fun, freedom and frivolity? When I try to explain my case (which gets very heated VERY quickly), she starts yelling "Go ahead! Go to the Regal Beagle, wander around and look stupid like you always do at that place! That’s why they’re tired of seein’ your ass now! Stay at home!" So much for reasoning, huh? Another thing is that she sucks at those ‘little talks’ we have. For example, whenever I’m feeling like my best friend is distancing himself from me (something that has been on my mind for the longest time…), my mom isn’t the one to help me feel better. She says things like "I don’t wanna keep hearin’ these sob stories about how your friend may be abandoning you! He ain’t your boyfriend! Shit, you need to focus on getting a girlfriend!" I’m always looking for someone to date, but what she doesn’t get is that my friends matter to me a lot, too; and it hurts badly when I think I’m being treated wrong by them. Plus, she’s always, ALWAYS talking (or shouting) over me when I try to express my opinion on anything! I can’t ever get a word in inch-wise. Very irritating and rude. And the biggest thing that really gets me pissed? In December, I signed a lease to a new place and I have a roommate named Laura. The apartment is $753 flat ($376 between us two), and features a fireplace, two huge rooms with two huge closets, and a poolside view. It’s amazing. However, it’s been two months and I haven’t gotten the chance to move into it yet. Why? Because my mom insists that I get furniture first, and she thinks my roomie is someone who’s out to boss me around and take advantage of me. Laura is my friend, and I know she wouldn’t try anything. My mom really needs to realize that I’m an adult now, and I’m not going to listen to every little thing she says (or yells) anymore. Am I right or wrong on this one?
first at 23 why are you still living at home? Your mother still thinks you are her "baby" and is treating you as such. . You live in a house full of women and they do not know how to deal with an adult male in their midst. Your mother’s comments are straight out of the man hating society and probably left over issues from your father. You need to move out and get a life.

You have a very very controlling mother. You have a place to stay — GET OUT NOW. Don’t continue to wait for your mom’s approval, you will never get it. I think everyone wants approval from their parents, but sooner or later, you’re going to have to realize you won’t get it, and even better: you don’t need it. You are better than that. Don’t lower yourself to her level. She’s already angry, no matter if you are there or not. Get out, get yourself some space, and take a deep breath.
