That was his 18th birthday on the ship. So maybe barely a pedophile, but definitely the sad HS senior that has to date freshmen girls.

Ariel is explicitly stated to be 16 in the movie. according to an extremely cursory Google search they're all 16+ except snow white and we knew that one already

trap sprung but Ariel and Eric is like...not weird at all? that's 16 and barely-18, that's high school. much more than that and it'd be pushing "ok no stop now" territory though, some of the other Disney movies are a lot weirder about it

I haven't seen it but I assume she's fully human in the sequel? I would chalk that up to the magic that gave her legs also giving her the human anatomy to give birth. It's obviously a situation where you can rule out mermaid caviar.

The sequel has one of the most realistically horrifying scenes in a Disney animated movie, where a girl very nearly drowns alone in an underwater cave, so if anything the sequel would prepare them a little better for the original story.

Also, to be completely honest I probably haven't seen the title sequence since the movie came out. It's been years since I've caught it in the wild, but mostly it's one of those "oh poo poo, that's in? Cool." kinda films.

Kinda like how I didn’t see the first ten minutes of The Shawshank Redemption until the twentieth time I had seen it? It was one of those movies I’d always leave on if I saw it while channel surfing but never tuned into it in advance.

This happened to me with Predator. Saw it about a hundred times growing up on cable t.v. but I guess I never started right from the opening credits because when I sat down to watch it in my mid-20s I absolutely did not remember that they show a spaceship arriving on Earth at the beginning.

Probably said itt before, but the first two Predator movies do an interesting thing where they seem set up for a more standard action movie of the time that turns into a horror movie when a heavily armed alien starts picking people off with little apparent rhyme or reason.

Kind of a forgotten theme about horror stories is that a lot of the classic ones present themselves as a different genre that a terrible, mysterious monster intrudes upon. At the Mountains of Madness comes to mind, a lot of Lovecraft stuff to some degree.

That's perfectly fine-- you're supposed to! Imagine watching Predator in the theater for the first time. They have to give you a taste of what's to come to get you through the whole faux first act and to supplement Maria's story about the legends because there's no other way to 'complete' the premise. The movie needs you to remember the half-plot you already kinda know as it makes its way towards the reveal, because it would be a twist out of nowhere if an alien just showed up in the middle of a rad action flick. Which would still be cool but very puzzling.

The Thing is a creeping progressive reveal inching out of the shadows that's only resolved halfway through when they watch the footage from the Norwegian base of finding a ship in the ice, and the monstrous survivor in the ice block. Aha! That's what the Norwegians found, why they were trying to kill the dog at all costs, and how they doomed themselves and maybe the world! The ship in the beginning is a big dumb flag reading 'IT'S ALIENS JUST WAIT IT'LL BE COOL' because the producers were hedging their bets against you being stupid or getting bored... somehow. It's just the worst goddamn decision that is only mostly ignored because of how insanely good every other decision was.

Psycho: They show Mrs. Bates dying and Norman weeping before having an 'I have an evil idea' look directly towards the camera in the trailer

Citizen Kane: Opening credits preceded by b-roll of orphans sledding in front of Rosebud Sled Corp.

Hateful Eight: Characters keep stopping and asking the audience directly if anyone heard thumping/giggling from the floor

Goons also have a conspiracy theory that From Dusk Till Dawn was supposed to be a heist movie until a shocking twist Midway through reveals vampires but it was ruined by marketing.

They can never cite a source on that though, unlike Terminator 2 where they can cite a source saying Arnold as a good guy was supposed to be a twist that was ruined by marketing

I keep forgetting George Clooney was in Dust Til Dawn. Like I remember Tarantino, Hayek, and Keitel, but I'm face blind on Clooney even though he's one of only two characters who survived. Maybe because it's so different than any other film he's done since.

I do remember being very surprised in theaters when it became a vampire movie.
