One of the many films obtained from my recent DI pillaging was the Ron Howard classic Cocoon staring Steve Guttenberg, Wilford Brimley, Brian Dennehy, Jessica Tandy, and D.A.R.Y.L.'s Barret Oliver. I recommend checking it out so that you can enjoy Mr. Guttenberg's bulge in his teeny tiny shorts, Wilford Brimley's nasty jokes about his drooping balls, the weird alien sex scene that was in all the previews (I never knew we were all watching Guttenberg climax when you see that blip) and one of the greatest sequences in movie history: the scene where the old men are nancing around the pool like a bunch of little girls accompanied by synth rock.
Guttenberg's bulge (which I am unable to find an image of on the internet oddly enough) has inspired a new piece of slang around the house which I plan to submit to the urban dictionary.
Having a Guttenberg: A large bulge in a tiny pair of pants or shorts; having to make emergency crotchal adjustments in public due to one's junk being bunched or pinched into a tight spot.
Eg: "Wow, that guy's got a serious Guttenberg"
or "Pardon me while I fix my Guttenberg"
GUTTENBERG FOREVER! Dude, Cocoon freaked me out so much when I was a kid. The shriveled dying aliens in the cocoons... *shudder* I didn't get that they were supposed to be nice. I had nightmares about swimming in pools with aliens lurking in the water trying to kill me.
