Guess what I just finished doing? Watching the rough cut of Babysitting the Baumgartners! Perks of being the author – I get to pre-screen. And OMG… you guys! You guys! I’m dying!
This was me as I’m watching the opening scene, listening to the voice-over of Ronnie, speaking my words (my words!) as she packs her bag for a hot time in Florida with the Baumgartners…
It’s sinking in… this is a movie. Made of my book. These are my characters, brought to life, walking around, talking. Whoa… not just talking. There’s Mrs. B in her microbikini… and she’s oiling up… everything… and there’s Ronnie watching… and OMG Doc’s there in the background watching… and I’m all…
The next thing I know… I’m lost in a story. Oh don’t get me wrong, there’s sex. All kinds of sex. SO. MUCH. SEX. But there’s emotion, and love, and care, and tenderness. And heat. Oh my god, so much heat. I’m dying. I can’t even…
Except, uh… this thing is three hours and fifty minutes long! It’s longer than Titanic! But I’m not bored. In fact, I can’t look away from the screen. And if you think the shaving scene, and Ronnie and Gretchen playing with Mrs. B’s toy, and Mrs. B and Ronnie together are gonna be hot? (And OMG they are… they soooo are…) But it’s the kitchen sex scene with Doc and Ronnie that blew me away. I mean… seriously… that was one of the most jaw-dropping, panty-dropping, Sybian-worthy scenes in porn I have ever seen in my entire life.
And before I know it, it’s over. Wahhhh!
That’s right, I cried. I literally cried. Don’t judge me! 😛 When Ronnie is on the phone with Gretchen, and she’s got that secret little smile on her face, remembering her time with the Baumgartners, and they agree to hook up… What an ending!
And then I was all:
I can’t wait for you guys to see this movie! I couldn’t have imagined it better. Kay Brandt is just a genius director, and she nailed my vision (in sooo many ways!) You guys are gonna love this thing. Two-ish months and counting. The premiere will likely be some time at the end of June. Hold onto your butts – (or, someone else’s!) – because this is gonna be SO. GOOD. And I can say that with complete confidence now.
Now… I think I’m gonna go watch it again… 😀
