This is making me think of Chasing Amy, but I dare not google to make sure.
Haha. I forgot about that scene until you mentioned it. Those were some funny stories.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Well, Garp doesn't have a sister. Although, his mom screws a comatose soldier (hence the existence of Garp), so you could say that the not-kosher, non-con sex issue is quite present.
Garp still has weird and inappropriate sex with -- hell, I can't remember any more -- a friend's wife?

Just for the record, what sort of sex is not weird?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
::resists urge to google::
I think if you judge sex against itself, you're going to align "weird" within its boundaries. If all sex is weird, but some is really fucking weird, then the application of the term will shift.

I can't recall any other instances of specific circumstances that were identical to the one in question, so not quite a trope yet IMHO. But I have run across literature with other vaguely analogous mishaps. And Beecher and Robson acted out something like it on Oz, with the car crash being replaced by malicious intent.

Speaking of the Hotel New Hampshire, I TiVoed it this weekend just to catch a glimpse of the super tiny and wee young Seth Green in his movie debut as Egg.

LONDON (Reuters) - Producers of the upcoming movie based on the blockbuster novel "The Da Vinci Code" were not allowed to film in Britain's Westminster Abbey after church officials denounced the book as "theologically unsound."
"Although a real page turner, 'The Da Vinci code' is theologically unsound and we cannot commend or endorse the contentious and wayward religious and historic suggestions made in the book -- nor its views of Christianity and the New Testament," the Abbey said in a statement.
"It would therefore be inappropriate to film scenes from the book here."

I actually think it's a bad idea to allow filming in cathedrals anyway. On religious grounds: if you believe in the concept of sanctified ground, then you don't use it for entirely secular purposes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
...Also, quoth the Abbey, "It would really suck to have to close for a day, because that 400-mile line of Americans waiting to get in would probably hurt us."
Although a real page turner, 'The Da Vinci code' is theologically unsound and we cannot commend or endorse the contentious and wayward religious and historic suggestions made in the book -- nor its views of Christianity and the New Testament.
For the record, this sentence is both more complex than you'll find in aforementioned page-turner, and possessed of more $0.50 words than you can shake an SAT booklet at.
