You are now watching: Mother! Oh god, mother! Bon-bons! Bon-Bons! (video blog)

For Mother’s Day, I sent my mom the Universal Legacy edition of PSYCHO (Alfred Hitchcock’s classic, not that ill-reasoned recreation by Gus Van Sant). The movie speaks to our relationship, close, yet twisted… though I am unlikely to cross-dress to keep her memory alive.

For those of you with a more conventional bond, why not celebrate your very first landlord — she sold you a womb without a view, after all — with the special screening I am hosting tonight at Theo Chocolate. Even if you aren’t feeling sentimental, contextually, she’ll think you’re the sweetest! And isn’t that what’s important? Scoring brownie points with Mom just in case you need to move back in with the folks someday? (Given the economy, never say sever.)

To find out which of the all-time funniest, family films we’ll present this evening, watch today’s THINK piece below. To reserve seats for yourself and your favorite mother, click here. And if you can’t make, at least order some Theo Chocolate on-line so that she’ll know you’re thinking of her, so everyone will know “Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly…”
