I couldn’t think of any movies that “defined” me (that’s usually music’s job), so let’s just go with “movies I liked to an insane degree”:

Are those...live snakes? I have questions.

+1 for Jurassic Park. Also the Digimon Movie, even though I haven’t seen any of the others - the first was my jam.

It’s really not surprising, though, that there are male “internet vigilantes” that have an issue with normal, not-crazy feminism, too. Like, honestly it shouldn’t even qualify for an article. It’s its own trope by now - male gamers are generally stuck in their “girls are icky” phase until their 30s.

That’s not what gets people talking. More radical users have also advocated for women pregnant with sons to get abortions and allegedly outed gay men married to women. A Megalia user’s post about a teacher who said she wanted to rape a kindergarten boy went viral. These users’ governing principle was to exact on men…

It’s not like I don’t understand why they’re upset - modern life has gotten so dull and cloying, I could see why some would cling to old comics as an escape from the digital age. Not for commentary on it. I read old Calvin & Hobbes anthologies for the same reason.

I’m childfree. So no.

Yeah, but they’d only appreciate them as action movies. In terms of scariness, I doubt most would even flinch.

I saw it when I was 13 with my mom and uncle. We then spent the next several hours making fun of it.

Wow, I didn’t know they were considered a form of mini-seizures! 0-0

...I saw all those by the time I was seven. Those would bore a pre-teen.

Except most parents don’t want their kids to discover horror by being shown The Exorcist at a friend’s house in 3rd grade, thus triggering another bed-wetting phase and uncomfortable discussions with others about why their kid now has a violent phobia of pea soup.

It could also be a great movie to introduce if you have a kid who’s kind of “meh” on science. The JP franchise has been directly responsible for many kids going through a dinosaur phase growing up (myself included).

Same re: The Shining. It was good, but it wasn’t scary.

OR, you could just swing ‘em by the ankles straight into the deep end of the pool, like I was.

Oh, there were. As well as people secretly putting their daughters up for adoption, or just straight-up abandoning them someplace.

I actually would not be surprised if something similar did start to happen, especially if standard of living in India or China ever drops and a bunch of people want to marry their way out.

This might be a generational thing. I’m in my mid-twenties and distinctly remember everyone being little caffeine addicts in elementary school.

Tea?? How does one hate tea???

Banana peppers. I’m not a fan of raw peppers in general, but I can at least stomach my way through the others if need be. But banana peppers are a solid “hell no”. If I see so much as a sliver in my food, I stop eating.
