My “favorite” experience to tell people about is when I got sexually harassed IN A CEMETERY while searching for a relative’s grave. True story.

God, this is so true.

I would totally do this with cheese. Sometimes I’ll treat myself to a small chunk of fancy cheese from the $3 and under bin at Whole Foods. If I don’t eat it fast enough my kids will steal it.

Demanding booze on-hand at all times

Yeah, the emptiness of American materialism and self-absorption. I thought that was very clearly what American Beauty was about — everyone in it feels empty and they’re chasing a way not to, but they can’t connect to one another.

So did Charlie. They were kids in a fucking candy factory.

Speak for yourself. American Beauty came out at the height of the late-90's boom, as did Fight Club. At that time, these were the only two voices against the go-go materialism that was at its crazy height.

I didn’t take each plot point as being the point of the movie. I took both movies as vehicles to get certain…

I have always been an adult. Ethan Hawk’s character is worthless.

Andy was the girlfriend.

I would like to think that Barron is getting therapy and support for having one of the most hated men on the planet as a father, but probably not.

Jeannie Bueller is and will always be my QUEEN

Reminds me of The Addams Family where Morticia bemoans the fact that the Cat in the Hat lives in the end of the book.

I was a relatively polite and contained child. I really hated the cat in the hat and agreed wholeheartedly with the fish. I still get upset that so much children’s media tells kids that they need to be loud and destructive. So yes, team fish.

I had a similar reaction to The Giving Tree as a kid—that boy was a spoiled brat who used and left the tree over and over, finally SITTING ON THE STUMP!

I’ve never seen the movie, but I read the books to my kid, and when he was just almost 3 he told me, “We should kill the Cat in the Hat.”

I was an overly-empathetic kid with a single mom, and I absolutely hated the idea of upsetting her or getting into trouble. That story made me so anxious thinking about what would happen when their poor (single as far as I could tell) mom came home to all that destruction. She must work really hard to make their home…

I hated how the movie had him quitting his “stressful” job and working at McDonalds with a huge smile. I still know executives who mention that as a dream - because they just assume low-paid customer service jobs are easy and fun and have no stress at all. You could tell the producer/writer had no clue what it’s…

Also? Ben Stiller’s character, Michael, in Reality Bites. He’s supposed to be the lame boyfriend alternative to hot, inconsiderate, wounded musician Ethan Hawke. Stiller gets dumped on because he has a job, wears a suit, tries to be socially adept, and makes a reality TV pilot that focuses on Winona and her friends’…

YAAAAS! I used to watch her show back in the day!

Mostly fabulous, but please Jennifer, NOpez. There is only one Iris Chacón.
