And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If we're generalizing, I'm with Cindy -- 18 isn't a clear-cut "adult" age in my head, and that's where the squick comes from.* But I've also known more than enough individual exceptions to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[*Re: making out with someone over 50. 50 year olds conversing with 18 year olds is just fine.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I didn't make the threshold till I was at least 23.

Either I passed it early, or I haven't passed it yet. There hasn't been a quantum shift in my conversationalistimicity since I was 18. Well, not in the dingbat reduction, anyway.

Sophia, BW (in this case) = Bruce Willis. LL = Linsay Lohan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but when I was 18, I was a notable dingbat.

This is hard for me to imagine.

This does squick me. Although, I personally would probably date someone under over 18 and under 20, given the opportunity. Maybe they are "soul-mates"

I am just glad it is not bradley Whitford--what would he be thinking, cheating on Jane Kazmareck?

Sounded more like drunken grope-mates.

"I totally made out with Bruce Willis last night!"

What is even happening?

I am hoping he hung out with a group of peeps and she was one--maybe he was scamming autographs for his daughters. I know someone BW pursued in the last year, and she was 38, so he isn't all about the youth.
It was the part of the item where he was groping her publically, such that her ass tat was visible that made me squick.

Are you 30ish, though? I don't know, to me that's different than a 50 year old, where the 18-21 year old is concerned.

There's my ew. It's BRUCE WILLIS!!!

I tried watching That 70s Show (for Dushku) and couldn't get over the idea of AK boffing DM and VW with LL. Way too meta and groiny. They're supposed to be pointlessly randy kids.

I think that's reading a bit too much one-sidedness into the situation.

Not that there isn't a certain amount of squick inherent in the phrase "public gropefest" on its own.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I read that as "the way practically any two actors behave when they meet each other". Many MANY actors I know behave towards other actors they barely know like Buffistas at a F2F, all that's missing is the candy necklaces. Hugging, flirting, nuzzling--that's how all the boys from LOTR act, for example (and Viggo is way older than Elijah). It's a level of physical intimacy that most regular folks don't engage in unless they know people real well, but it isn't necessarily sexual. For example, I had met Roger Rees ONCE and we went to a show of his. His greeting to me was a huge hug, followed by cupping my face in his hands and telling me my smile was gorgeous.
