I mean, in the end, that goes for both sides of this argument. But if you must know, my own experience with a toxic parent certainly plays a part in how what he said sounds to me. Does that make me an expert? Of course not. But I know this kind of situation does not happen in a vacuum.

Don’t Breathe 2:  Hating to Exhale

It wouldn’t be used as a dunking target as much if not for the hubris they’ve shown throughout the road to release.

Tangential perhaps, but this movie fucking rules.

Jimmy, Ur out

Parenting: “Hey Quentin, I understand it’s your dream to write screenplays, and I support that, but there has to be a balance. It’s important to me that you do well in school and develop other skills that you may need someday. How about we concentrate on completing your school work while leaving you time to write…

Fuck you.

honestly, reminiscent of the comment sections whenever spanking comes up. people (and parents) that are cool with hitting kids show up in droves :/ .

what she said was awful, and i doubt it was the first or only time. plus, growing up in that kind of environment is not the kind of thing that just leaves you. most people remember their school bullies and how those bullies made them feel; with a bully parent, the impact is that much more. people mistreated by parents…

You’d think an immature homophobe wouldn’t wanna be a huge asshole...

As a proud fellow lover of long toes and wide soles - I highly doubt his fetish has anything to do with his clear and present hatred for his mother. Foot fetish is just that- a fetish. Not an obsession or addiction.

is it? I hold grudges when people say shit like that. Your words have weight. Fucking think before you open your mouth like that to a child.

his mom sounds like the worst kind of mid level manager. like the redheaded woman in Wanted who antagonizes everyone in the office and is generally a garbage monster

his mother got what she deserved. If she kept her fucking mouth shut with petty bullshit being hurled at a kid, then maybe she’d be getting the mommy…

this doesn’t sound like “worrying” to me, it’s exactly what it was labeled in the article: mocking. really disgusting that so many people here don’t see a problem with a parent addressing their child this way, and even worse, believe that the mocked child owes part of their fortune to the mocking parent. 

It’s amazing how often people will spout out some dumb comments without reading the article.

All I can say in response to your thoughtless comment is that I’m glad for you that you grew up in a stable and loving environment.

Nah. And I’m sure there are more instances like that behind the “straw that broke the camel’s back.”

I know a chef who speaks it.

Parallels do not equal “inspired by.” Allowing that parallels exist does not necessarily mean you take inspiration from a real life case. From the sources I’ve found about it, the tone Flynn takes when explaining the genesis of her story is entirely different from this one. But even if were the case, and like you say,…

ah, but you may find people are the real horrifying space monster.
