Movie: Midnight Express

Midnight Express is a classic and a reminder for Americans to be careful when they're smuggling drugs out of foreign countries like, hmmm, let's say Turkey.  Maybe Turkish justice has improved since the 70's or perhaps this is just one example why that country is not being welcomed into the European Union.

I had actually seen this movie many years ago and forgot almost everything about it.  When you've totally forgotten a movie, you can see it again be surprised, shocked and horrified all over again.  The only thing I remembered about the film was when the girlfriend visits him in prison and showed her boobs.  Those boobs stuck with me all these years.  Instead of full, round breasts, hers were kind of cylinder and she had great big monstrous nipples -- nightmarish tits.  When the scene came and she was exposing her tits, I said:  I remember this!  And then I made a disparaging remark about her breasts.
My boyfriend said, with his tongue hanging out:  Her boobs are fine.
Then I said something like:  Yeah, her boobs could look like a cow's udder and you'd be fine with that.
Then he said:  That could be interesting.
And then we shut up and watched the rest of the movie.
