You can just be Caf-fine.

Yeah, I think the “he’s had no other consequences” is not correct, but I’m fully on board with “he hasn’t had enough consequences” in any case.

Lol great. Argument. Then what’s the difference between 10 and 8? And 8 and 6? And 6 and 4? This baby is flirting with me and making me uncomfortable.

Weird way to measure your self-worth, but have a nice life I guess?

So you came into an article about a show you know and care nothing about to shit on it. Sounds like fulfilling life there champ.

Lol I literally started by saying that plenty of kids are aware of their sexuality by their early teens. I certainly said nothing about “18". That was all you. Of course my 10 year old has started becoming aware of his sexuality - we’ve had many conversations about it already.

You think doing a what *4th* paintball thing would be “pushing boundries”?

A single person making a “concerted effort” is a often used phrase and in any english dictionary you care to look it up in with that definition. 

Losing ones virginity has little to do with flirting and the understanding of using ones sexuality means, so I’m not sure that this is relevant. I’m the father of a 10 year old and the idea that I could experience any of his friends (whatever gender) “flirting” with me without a very disturbing amount of projection by…

I feel like it’s one of the best movie musical adaptations we’ve had. They keep (in my opinion) fucking up the Sondheim ones by cutting a bunch of songs and casting people who can’t really handle the part (I generally like Helena Bonham Carter, but I couldn’t understand a word of her patter in Sweeney Todd). Granted…

It also has to be written by another person entirely.

Ok, yeah, 15-17 year old kids can be sexual and start to have the idea what that means and that they can “use” it. We’re talking about a 10 year old.

Sure. “Your child was using vulgar phrases that they probably don’t understand and I don’t think it would be advisable to have her on a movie set” would be totally fine. “She was flirting with me” is...pretty weird.

No twitter poll is “valid” for any meaningful definition of that term, whether or not there are bots or vote rigging. Just sampling “whoever feels like answering” is not reasonable polling methodology. 

I like how your only definition is “not what you are saying”. Like if destroying your relationship with your daughter because of your own unresolved issues with your father isn’t trauma, I don’t know what is? Does your definition say it needs to be violent? Like what counts?

If we ignore the multiversal stuff, this is a woman who is about to lose her daughter because she’s too afraid of the judgement of her father and about to lose her business and possibly her freedom because she’s too ashamed or proud to admit that she doesn’t speak english well enough to handle the tax laws. I guess…

Does it? I do think the article is a little over the top in its “this is the first time movies have ever done this” nonsense, but I fundamentally agree that Everything is about multiversal conflict as a metaphor for generational baggage and trauma in a way that by all rights should not work at all but somehow does.

As evidently the only person on earth who really enjoyed The Nevers, I’m pretty disappointed, but I am slightly heartened that there’s at least a chance it will get to be seen *somewhere*.

“Come back, Shane Company”

I don’t think she’s a great actor, but I think she’s a good wonder woman. Or in any case the problems with WW2 (and if I can get on my soap box, that last 20 minutes of WW1) can’t really be laid at her feet.
