But isn’t her sexual aggression a result of the boy’s programming (because they wanted a woman who wanted to bang them)? So in this case, have the girls program a soft romantic man, or whatever. And then it can end with him teaching them about toxic masculinity, which they’ve never examined because they are just teens…

Yeah, Lisa was also portrayed as very sexually aggressive, almost to the point of be predatory. That’s a dynamic that was frankly a little inappropriate even in the original, and definitely doesn’t gender-swap well.

This. Iirc, the movie also ends with Lisa (the manic-pixie dream girl with super powers) as the coach of an boys PE class, with the implication being, well, something akin to what we are currently sending a teacher a week to prison for.

I doubt RDJ even remembers he was in the original. Or the year he filmed the original. Hell, probably most of the 80's in general.

Ahh, my favourite movie as a preteen: Making Mr Right, starring Anne Magnuson and John Malkovich. Except she was a cool, smart scientist, not a nerdy loser, and he was gentle and lovely. I loved this movie, and it’s exactly what you described.

I just re-read the whole piece and I am scratching my head even more as to why she felt compelled to waste everyone’s time when the gist of this piece is simply humblebrag about her dad and her family without even realizing the savior element tied to it.

Never forget:

On the one hand, I am a Missourian who just penciled in “beat up Jared Leto,” so I can’t really criticize your instincts. But I suspect a truck stop on I-70 is where Leto’s big mouth would be most welcome.

“It got exacerbated” 

I was telling my dad how creepy Trump was toward Ivanka and my first few examples he was like “that’s not so bad” and as I kept going he was getting more and more creeped until he finally made me stop because he was so creeped.

I have never hoped for someone to die alone, in prison and flat broke more than I wish it for Donald Trump.

With Kaley, I guess it could be any one of the 27 guys she’s gotten engaged to after only a few weeks of dating.

He is so tone deaf that he doesn’t even see the irony of “Cheatin’ Obama” while Stormy Daniels is still a story? I can’t even with this motherfucker.

And she’ll probably still look like she’s 28. Nothing angers me more than the knowledge that she’s older than me and I look like an old McDonald’s bag.

Jennifer Aniston is going to be 70 years old and still have pregnancy rumors, isn’t she?
