Episode 181.5 - Minisode 181.5
taylor anne photo replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
As the resident young person here I was 16 when Facebook was opened up to high schoolers and lemme tell y'all that going through that age in a time when everyone was just figuring out what the fuck was going on with social media was rough. I honestly I'd rather have it now than in 2006. But maybe I would have still just been a dumbass 16 yo on the internet who knows lol. Thank all y'all for the conversation! There's so much going on in the world and sometimes just seeing people be horrible in 140 characters or less can get exhausting. -

Lol yes that's true. Exactly the reason why I, at 9 years old, was able to see American Beauty. -

I fucking love Big Fat Quiz of the Year. It's my fave NY's tradition. Yes we have a ratings system on all TV, movies, video games, etc. etc, but I guess when something here is rated PG, for some parental guidance needed, people tend to think that's a catch all for this is a fluffy piece of children's show that I shouldn't have to worry about. Mostly my comment was how the political climate in this country has spilled over onto ALL things. There are a couple of right leaning media outlets that heavily rely on the words "triggered," "safe-space," and "snowflake," and they hammer that into the minds of everyone watching/listening to the point where that's the words they use for anyone that disagrees with them on ANYTHING. It's how they are purposefully trying to stop any conversation on rights for minorities and then justify swinging the confederate or Nazi flag around. So it's gotten to the point where you bring up the fact that Peter Rabbit is a bit problematic for children with deadly allergies and people will freak the fuck out and claim that these parents need their "safe-space" when all they are trying to do is create an environment for their children where they don't feel like they'll be killed by blueberries. -

Not to get political but there are certainly a few different kinds of media being thrown into people's brains to cause that shit. It's also seems to be sparring from other things like if you see someone agreeing with a Nazi then that's a black and white scenario but like you said other situations (like a fucking Peter Rabbit movie) have nuance to them and deserve a discussion. -

I'm also thinking that obviously every kid is different. If, for example, Peter Rabbit traumatizes a kid that has a severe allergy are we as a society not wrong for telling that mother or father to get over being angry at the movie that's supposed to be fun for children to watch? I have to agree with Triple Lindy that we really will never be able to tell what sticks in a child's mind (curse words tho - those always seem to stick) but I guess what I'm REALLY tired of is people telling someone they're overreacting and to get over it. Probably a little bit of personal exhaustion there since women certainly get told that a lot lmaaaoooo. -

Yeah I was about to say that not only can kids be stupid they can be intentional dicks. It does chalk up to the parenting a lot of the times but I've also seen kids in great households that take cues from society that they need to act a certain way (there's also the sociological discussion that picking out the "others" is inherent in ANY sense). I guess I see this new age we're all living in and how important it is to be represented properly in the media we digest. I mean both Whoopi and Oprah can site specific moments from TV where they knew they could actually do something good with their lives (seeing Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek and Sydney Poitier win an Oscar respectively). So why wouldn't seeing the hero of a movie attempt to murder by food influence a shitty kid to go do that to this kid he hates that has an allergy? IDK I'm not like advocating for censorship or whatever, but definitely at the very least an honest discussion about what we're putting out there for everyone to see. -

Cameron H (and other parents as well I just know Cameron has two kids), I have a random question Do you believe that the media your sons take in can have an effect on the way they view the world? I know that the "violence in movies" debate has been going on for decades now, but we see that movies and tv shows and video games can have a positive effect on people so could they then have a negative impact? I just saw that parents are wanting to boycott Peter Rabbit because they show the rabbits attempting to kill their nemesis by purposefully forcing him to eat something he is allergic to (knowing that he is allergic) and that does seem really fucked up, and by all accounts kids could file that in their brain as a valid thing to do if the cute little bunnies are doing it to a bad man. It's a weird debate for sure and I'm still not sure what side of the aisle I fall on but lbr kids are fucking idiots and apparently over the summer a British 13 yo was in fact murdered when his bullies put cheese into his food knowing he was allergic (idk if they didn't believe him or thought watching him struggle to breath would be funny but the poor kid did die). EDIT: Oh Cameron I just saw you were sick and I hope you get better soon! -

Yep exactly. I am inclined to believe that if my friends and I were to be invited to some big CEOs house I wouldn't be saying a lot of "we" even if we were all going. I literally can picture myself saying, "I'm gonna drink so much champagne," because I am the one who would be doing that not a collective we. Who the fuck knows what things my friends would indulge in! -

Honestly I didn't even understand why this line gave away so much. In a normal conversation I think "I'll be eating caviar!" is a proper way to show excitement about being among the rich. I mean how was David Johansen supposed to know if Furlong even liked caviar? Maybe he was trying not to make assumptions and shove some metaphorical caviar down the dude's mouth!? -

This is another instance of this working well but I do think this trailer sparked a movement of using melancholy covers (usually more melancholy when performed by children). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB95KLmpLR4 -

I feel like a lot of my grievances with this movie have been talked about, my biggest complaint being exactly what Phoebe brought up when Rene was talking about how much older she was now (I literally said the same thing as her and went "Oh fuck you movie" when that scene happened). But I kept thinking of a Matt Gourley quote when I was finished watching this - "The biggest sin a movie can make is be boring." And honestly I was so fucking bored during every part. There was no attempt to make us care about Furlong before he died other than showing his relationship to Rene, which in my opinion had zero chemistry whatsoever. So by the time he gets sent to the future and he's trying to escape Mick Jagger I found myself not cheering for him just so the movie would fucking end. I'm pretty sure I scrolled through Twitter on my phone twice before the halfway mark (I checked because I could have sworn the movie was about to end and when I looked it was only at minute 46). -

Is Emilio supposed to be a sex symbol in this movie? Or at all? Like I feel literally 0 attraction to him in this and don't understand why he was considered this leading man material for this. -

Dude I was literally watching that trailer on Netflix thinking, "Didn't I just watch this dumb movie?" I think what's worse is they're making this into a show so it's like 12 hours of most likely the same dumb shit with things they think are twists but probably can be seen a mile away. -
