A Ghost Story sounds dumb as hell. Another thing that’s really creepy about CMBYN is that the parents are fully aware of what’s happening and just seem totally cool with it. It’s like a horror movie.

It’s like a horror movie. the thing about the CMBYN situation is, as gross as it is, it's absurdly common among gay and lesbian people and you're going to have a very bad time trying to campaign against it on any broad scale, because old gay and lesbian people will get very very angry at the implication that they should be loving people their own age and not "introducing newbies to the lifestyle," and the teenagers they gently caress will get very very angry at the suggestion that they shouldn't gently caress "daddies" or... is there a corresponding cutesy term for old lesbians? i feel like there is but i'm blanking on it. basically it's gross as hell but it's unfortunately a very, very accepted kind of gross, and probably the result of decades of rear end in a top hat homophobes going "HURFA DURF ALL GAY PEOPLE ARE PEDOS WHO ARE COMING FOR YOUR KIDS" and the pendulum swinging the other direction so hard that it's now unacceptable to call out actual gay pedos as long as it looks vaguely consensual. e: as a note, i'm speaking from personal experience on this. i'm bi/pan, and being 18-19 and open about this on grindr basically summoned a loving horde of 50-year-old men wanting to "break me in," many of whom were openly hoping i was secretly younger than that. bringing this up to other LGBT people I knew just led to a bunch of "yeah that's totally normal, you should try loving one of them." i'm 25 now, and things have largely not improved on that front, because i still look... younger than i reasonably should.

Oh yeah, I know it’s a very common thing and the olds get super defensive about it. It loving sucks that they do it, and it sucks to hear it happened to you. The “breaking in” line is uhhh... wow man that is loving gross, I’m sorry. Is it becoming more common to call that behavior out or is it too normalized? I’m not gay so I don’t have any experience with it personally and I’m just curious.

CMBYN and Affleck chat is just reminding me how hilarious it is that Timothee Chalamet grows up to be puffy-faced Casey Affleck in Interstellar.

WeedlordGoku69 posted:is there a corresponding cutesy term for old lesbians? i feel like there is but i'm blanking on it. I'm not aware of a specific term, but apparently the dynamic you're describing is not unheard of among young and recently-out lesbians, though not even CLOSE to as common as that among gay men. I'm conflicted because if young, college-aged kids genuinely want to gently caress "daddies" as some kind of consensual kink, they should go for it. But older people seeking out that dynamic with young people who aren't looking for it...yeah, they're predators.

To the surprise of basically no one at this point, Artemis Fowl is getting savaged by critics right now. On a semi-related note, has there been any live-action Disney film besides remakes of their animated films and the MCU/Star Wars stuff that have actually done well? There's the PotC films and maaaaaaaaaybe Tron? Those are the only ones that really come to mind.

If we're talking about the OG Tron, it was a very technically impressive movie, probably up there with Terminator 2 or Jurassic Park for what it did for special effects. I feel like it ended up like a lot of movies that didn't do well at the box office in the early 80's and became a staple on TV and rentals. I think (hope) I still have the copy of the Making of Tron book I saved from my dad tossing at some point in the 90's, I recall it being pretty interesting.

Tron: Legacy is the perfect sequel to Tron in every way—for better and worse. They're both rad-as-hell ambitious movies with really interesting ideas, innovative visuals, great actors, and lousy scripts that are buoyed by being fun to sit through while leaving you kinda empty on the other side. The sequel's kickin' soundtrack probably kicks it up one notch above the original, though.

Doesn't Disney also have another studio they use to release films that skew too adult to fit the Disney brand? They used Touchstone as their PG+ brand for a while. A lot of people forget that Who Framed Roger Rabbit and a Nightmare Before Christmas were both released through Touchstone and it was only after they became successes that they became WALT DISNEY PICTURES PRESENTS and the characters added to the theme parks and whatever. I believe Pirates of the Caribbean was the first time they released such a film under the regular Disney banner, and without much fanfare. I don't even think you get the animated castle opening in Black Pearl.

Artemis Fowl should have been a James Bond style villain for a team up with Gizmoduck and Darkwing Duck. Was disappointed to see what it actually is.

Is there, like, a good version of io9 out there? I occasionally visit to peruse through some good ol' Dweeb News, but I usually get annoyed after scrolling past a dozen inane lowest-common-denominator pop culture posts.

Hollywood has the tendency to learn nothing from it's mistakes. In this case it's botching would-be franchises in the first installment. Artemis Fowl is yet another dead YA property to throw onto the pile. What else am I missing? Seventh Son City of Ember Spiderwick Chronciles Cirque De Freak Percy Jackson Stormbreaker Eragon
