Man, those tables he had though?

As you should, I do know and have some sympathy for, however, Dad's who can take a while to realize when boundaries are less relevant. He'd probably had that 'policy' in place from before older kid was as young as duplo kid. And once he had his 'aha' moment he adapted pretty quickly.

I think it's a fair bit more nuanced, but basically just that the song's aspirations and aesthetic qualities were in dissonance with its usage.

Well there was that, but I think the movie ended on a synthesis. I mean, the guy's set up was completely ridiculously awesome and the movie gave him that. The issue was more the need to share the leisure.

I think the appropriation theme is pretty strongly entrenched even in the basic production decisions of the film and its aesthetic.

I don't think it's the story that's taking too much credit in this conversation.

It's the medium rather than the message. You make an organ that works by sticking squealing pigs with a blade and it's certainly not the musical arrangement people are going to criticize.

I think that's a fair reading, but the number of other viewers who read it as her having become false or having been a glory seeker might indicate that there's some legitimate ambiguity there.

I usually play with the assumption that the F is a speedbump for the M.

I don't think there's a bad kind of pride in that context.

It used to be far more serious, but it's always been a "when you're this tall again then you can get back on the coaster" thing.

While that's a special case, there's a lot of flack for everyone. What's the line, "Baptists like to shout for Jesus, Catholics like to shout at the bishop."

You should be totally down for feeling pride, more skeptical of pride as a motivation.

Yes, in fact the whole point of excommunication is that you can recommunicate at some point pending penance.

I don't know with the 'guards' side of the fence I really feel like it's putting cross-hatching on cut outs. The basic composition of those characters is so tellingly 'this is what our drama demands' that it's hard to fill that in convincingly.

Excommunicated is a little more nuanced than that for anyone who isn't a political figure/medieval king. Depending on what exactly happened with her, it's basic meaning would be that she's out for sacraments until she makes amends and doesn't have any authority as a good catholic (can't participate in saying the mass,…

I'm down with the gay husband as being in line with the general laziness in the writing of that set of characters.

Actually, I am in no way an X-files fan! I know the word from Labyrinth and having rented an oubliette.

Yes.
