    No, no - kids are great. I am blessed for every single precious second I get to share with them. I’m just saying, if I had to make a choice between a killer beach house in New South Wales (and all the money that goes with that) and my boys...I might need a minute

    to gather all their shit and kick them to the curb.

    Kids are for plebs, amiright?.

     

     

    I love my friends children dearly and would take a but given sufficient funds (and sadly its smaller than I would like to admit) I would punt them all like footballs if given a chance. Granted I have a feeling so would their parents. Kids are great but my god are they assholes sometimes. I feel like I owe every adult who I every encountered before the age of 19 an apology

    I know at least 4 women with this exact look down to what I can only assume is a Newport Light though their hairdo's are a bit more crunchy and poofy.

    Though from the little time we see them together, he seems to treat his wife pretty poorly. And I get it, he felt trapped into the marriage. But it's as you say, just don't get married! If this movie took place in the 1950s I'd understand the heavy social pressure to get married, but in 2013?

    Oh no I fully feel they should NOT have married

    I just helped slap together a shotgun wedding for a poor 17 year old I didn't know (without knowing said person was 17 and pregnant until AFTER the wedding when I really put my foot in it) Why they had to get married I will never know. I did think it was a weird crazy shit show that only my two friends showed up to decorate the church and this bride didn't know how to hold a bouquet , and the "best man" wore fucking baggy jeans and a hoodie. But knowing it was a shotgun wedding everything makes sense now. A sad depressing kind of sense but sense.

    Just found out Robin Wright may have gotten married over Christmas to her boyfriend. This is somewhat interesting because he's apparently at least 20 years younger than her according to another podcast I listen to that's dedicated to interesting women ages 50 and over. According to Lady Watch I guess Robin has a Thing for hot younger men . Which like... Get. It. Girl. Maybe she felt drawn to the script because I'm sure she's felt disapproval from some people in the public or maybe even in her family? Maybe she just wanted to go lie on a raft for a while. God knows I would.

    And I never said that I didn't get that, nor have I tried to convince you to feel otherwise. In fact, I've agreed with you quite a bit. I'm not trying to change your opinion. Lord knows mine hasn't. I'm just offering an opposing perspective for the purpose of a friendly, intellectual debate.

     

     

     

    As the warm waters of New South Wales. :)

     

     

     

    ...my own as well. I'm not judging.

     

    Here's the 1 1/2 star Letterboxd review I wrote immediately after finishing the movie:

     

    "This movie proves that your characters don’t actually have to have sex for a scene to seem incestuous and weird...and then it adds weird, incestuous sex."

     

     

    It's like the stripper sloth shower curtain debacle all all over again.

    stripper_20sloth_20shower_20mockup_original.jpg

     

    The shower curtain in question. It has been pointed out during a skype chat with a group of friends the only way to make this shower curtain actually seem sexy/ obscene is by giving the sloth clothes like a pair of short shorts , a pair of heels maybe some fishnets and bra or something. The fact the sloth is naked makes it actually seem more wholesome. Either way now the world knows a sloth stripper shower curtain is a thing and it's GLORIOUS.

    I have to write a formal apology to Mr. Mendelsohn because I legit thought he was 10 years older than IMDB told me he was.

     

     

     

    Make sure you mention his cuckold status. Men love that from my experience. Also full disclosure I misread IMDB as IBS and was very concerned and confused that somehow IBS either ages you or that it's become so evil it now forces your bowels to snitch on you. The last thing I need is my persnickety intestines and other organs giving out secret information.

    Well, they say it was when she would be away on a job. Lil also says they would go weeks or months without doing anything. It wasn’t an all the time thing.

     

    Also, I don’t know that we need to accuse the victim of infidelity of not being smart enough to figure out it was going on. They were apparently discreet enough to hide it from the two people closest to them in the whole world for ~5 years. That should be enough.

     

     

     

    Saying she has an “arc” is being generous.

     

    I’m not saying this is the case, but it’s almost as if we’re meant to feel as apathetic of her as Ian does... ;)

     

     

    Also going from your point about not blaming someone for not being "smart" enough ... like this is his best friends mother and the women he has told his wife is like a second mother to him. I would NEVER in a million years think m partner was cheating on me with the person they call their second mother.

    I think the fact that the sons wind up having wives and children of their own moves this into "bad" territory. Those kids don't deserve to be put through this.

     

     

    To be fair the one son did not plan to have his child. From my understanding his child and eventual wife is the result of an unplanned pregnancy. I will personally never understand why people feel like they need to get married and have a child in those situations. There are a variety of options to that kind of thing. Like even if you both decide to keep and raise the child you don't HAVE to be married. A family friend's son had this happen and instead of getting married they decided to just keep going like they were and have been together for like 10 years or something. Also does any child really deserve to be put in the situation of their parents cheating?

    Blonde guy, Naomi Watts son

    Brunette, robin Wright’s son.

    To b fair I only saw clips and I was recovering from food poisoning plus I suffer from Blandly Attractive Face Blindness. Pretty much anyone on the cw and any dc/ marvel whatever tv shows are interchangeable to me.

    Can we talk about how attractive these women are? Like not just normal movie pretty . Robin Wright is down right stunning and Naomi Watts doesn't look so bad herself.

    Like of course you gave birth to a gods woman look at yourself! YOU'RE A GODDESSES! I mean yes it makes sense that they feel shocked that their son's friend might want to sleep them but more because it's a kid they've pretty much raised since birth and maybe less with the fact they are old and undesirable which is what I felt like the film was implying. Like look at these two ancient old ladies! Shocking these hot bros want to sleep with them isn't it?! With much less emphasis on the incestual issues of the relationship. Honestly it seemed like the women's biggest issues with their relationships with each other's son's was the fact they were older and that would make their lovers eventually lose interest, not that they were sleeping with men whom they had helped raise.

     

    Like no. Fuck that. Even this idea that these men would lose interest because their partners were older is ridiculous for these characters to have. Look at them. These women are drop dead BEAUTIFUL. Just because they are over the age of 28 it doesn't make them less desirable or worthy of love because of that. Outside of the age difference they don't really seem to have any issues with their relationships. In fact out side of these weird incest lite relationships the seem to have pretty great lives (? Like they seem to spend all their time on the beach or that raft. I couldn't handle this film and only watched clips so feel free to call me out on this or anything)

     

    I get that in Hollywood women aging is seeing as a sin. The moment a woman stops looking like a baby she's thrown a way for a newer shinier embryo. But something tells me these women probably would have a bit more confidence and wouldn't have called off their "amazing" (creepy ) affairs because they thought their lover would leave them for being old.

    It's crazy to me how y'all seem to keep the two dudes straight in your heads. Like, I watched the movie and MULTIPLE times, I had to be like, "Which fuckboy is that one again?"

     

    I mean I tried so hard to watch it and just... could not do it. I just had an icky feeling in my stomach the whole time . Of course I was getting over food poisoning so that didn't help . I manged to just watch clips of the most important scenes after reading the plot on Wikipedia and I had your exact problem. I just assumed it was because I only watched clips but it looks like a lot of people had trouble with it too. Everyone looked the same to me. The only person I could tell was the same was Robin Wright but that's probably because I've been in love with her since I saw the Princess Bride.

    I felt like the events did affect the 4 characters emotionally, but it was kind of one-note. Basically, everyone was jealous all the time. Tom witnesses a pantless Roz leaving Ian's bedroom and what does he do? Sleeps with Lil. Tom gets married and both Lil and Roz are jealous of Tom's wife and Ian's dance partner, respectively. Roz breaks it off with Ian in part, I think, because she wants to spare Lil of jealousy. Ian sees Tom and Lil going against their group pact and the shit hits the fan. I'm speaking in broad terms, and surely there were other emotions involved, but to me a big theme of the movie was jealousy. Well, jealousy and salads. Was it me or were they always eating salads?

     

    If movies and tv have taught me anything it's that rich white ladies LOVE their salad. According to tv/movies rich women in their natural habitat survive on a steady diet of salad, wine, and yogurt . Occasionally they will nibble a bit of cheese or eat a grape.

    Because I'm a big dumb dumb every time I see this movie mentioned /hear people talk about it I assume people are talking about Adore Delano until my brain remembers that not everyone is unhealthy obsessed with drag queens and this movie is a Thing. 2014 was a confusing time for me because both of these were a Thing.

    Dudes... I figured out who wrote this movie.

    https://youtu.be/FCHZqT3mR5I?t=9

    (Because you probably didn't watch it)

    Rosemary (Carrie Fisher):

    "OK, let's find a pen and start that screenplay. This movie is going to knock them on their asses!"

    Liz (Tina Fey):

    "Right... what's it about?"

    Rosemary:

    "Women in their 50's join the army, and get laid by a bunch of grateful 18 year olds."

    Liz:

    "Oh god"

    Rosemary:

    "Yea, exactly. I predict opening week...a million dollars!"

     

    Carrie Fisher truly was a treasure. The universe is darker, less glitter filled place without her here with us.

    I’m not sure you are referencing something that was brought up in the episode, but again, I cannot stress this enough, this has nothing to do with a younger men/women with older women/men dynamic. And even though the movie tries to make that a thing, it really isn’t. Everyone in this movie is legally an adult. I could give a shit about their age differences. It’s the familial closeness that’s bothersome. It’s incest without technically being incest. Naomi Watts and Robin Wright even look remarkably similar.

     

    So, just for clarity’s sake, age difference? NBD. Engaging in a sexual relationship with someone you raised from an infant and is practically a family member? BD.

     

    Or, in other words, the problem isn’t that Woody Allen is older than Soon-Yi.

     

    Yes this is my exact problem with the movie!!! These women are so close and so a part of one another's lives that they are in their own way a family and are if not surrogate mothers to each other's children they are at least surrogate aunts. It's not that these guys are extremely young that is what makes me feel the most uncomfortable with this, it's these familial bonds. If it was a story about two older women hooking up with their son's friend from school, without this close backstory it would be another thing entirely.

    What if this movie starred Brad Pitt and Matt Damon fucking each other's daughters?

     

    "Did we do that?"

    "They're young Goddesses."

     

    I think we'd all have to register as sex offenders for even watching it!

     

    I couldn't watch this one one. The trailer alone made me too uncomfortable. I'd rather watch a movie made up of nothing but that God awful kiss from the Lakehouse reenacted by Rodney Dangerfield at his worst and one of the Garagepail Kids grown up than sit through this. The uncomfortable ick feeling that you get when seeing explicit sex scenes with your parents or just the general feeling of getting a pap smear is what this movie is giving me.

    I figured as much after you said QOTD woke up your bisexual heart cause SAME

     

    I mean this movie has it all

    The height of 90's costumes that i still want to wear to this day ? Check

    Stunning women who kick ass AND SAY AWFUL PUNS

    CHECK

    Awful puns in general? CHECKS ACROSS THE BOARD

    I mean I think I like this movie so much because of how young ( I want to say like 9?) I was when i saw it and how much more fun it was than some of the other Batman's. It's an awful film. Truly awful. But that said out of the 90's Batman's I still find it the most enjoyable, not the best mind you, but it's the most fun and the one I will happily watch if I find it on tv . It's like kraft mac and cheese. Not the greatest form of the product to be sure, but there is something oddly satisfying about it and I know a lot of that has to do with my childhood.

    I feel like it depends. Is this a date, are you going with friends, or are you flying solo?

     

    I would take a date to see Boss Baby. It's cute and an Oscar caliber movie.

     

     

     

     

     

    When you say Oscar caliber movie are you saying you think its worthy of an Oscar or are you acknowledging that because god enjoys fucking with us mere mortals that technically speaking this movie was in fact nominated like its predecessors Shark Tales, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, and of course the 2000 winner Shrek (which is actually a decent movie) which beat Jimmy Neutron.

     

    Side note we should really start doing animated movies. I HAVE to know June and Jason's opinions on the TERRIFYING looking fish people

    I have a sneaky suspicion this is gonna be like Across the Universe and I'm gonna be the one person to love a movie everyone else hates...

    i love Across the Universe. It's like a movie made of nothing but music videos and is some how oddly soothing. I also have a huge crush on Even Rachel Wood so there's that.
