It's not the rule-makers I look askance at, it's the blind rule-followers. AH shows up heartbroken, newly single, and in need of comfort at your doorstep, and you whip out your ... calculator?
Heh. It's a general rule. I have no problem entertaining the fact of dating people over the age of thirty OR people under the age of eighteen, the limits of my half-plus-seven, but I'd still generally call most 31-year-olds "too old for me" and most 17-year-olds "too young for me." But, yeah, if AH showed up looking for comfort I'd probably whip out... well, probably my handcuffs, based on her Maxim interview.
Kids these days are already on top of the pathetic nostalgia.
Hence that song about 80s nostalgia aimed at current teens.
There's a college that does "Mindset Lists" for each year's incoming freshman class. The worldview of those born in 1985 and 1986.
Scary, isn't it?
How old IS Alyson Hannigan anyway. I realized that I thought she was over 5 years younger than I (like 24 or 25), but D. Griswold's comments make me think she is just about my age. As is Leonardo DiCaprio.
I think that I think I am the same age as all the people playing teenagers when I was young (like Molly Ringwald and Rob Lowe) when in reality they are like 10 - 15 years older than me.
I am the same age as everyone but the very old and the very young. Sometimes it's confusing, but it makes dating simple.
Or would, if I did.
You should. Because everyone ought to do so. When you rent it, make sure you get the version titled "Leon" instead, for the extra-disturbing extra 20 minutes.
Yes. Absolutely.
I liked Natalie Portman in Garden State. She can emote. I've seen it happen. I haven't seen Closer yet, but I don't know if I'd like that better than GS.
I still have yet to see Kingdom of Heaven. And now there's RotS to see. My babysitter needs to clear up her schedule.
Alyson Hannigan is 31. She was 23 when Buffy began. If she were 24 now, that would have made her 16 when Buffy began, which would have been far too close to the age she played for it to have been allowed.
(SMG was the youngest member of the cast, and she was 20 when Buffy began.)
[Ewan] just breaks my heart in the big final battle scene.
Does he sing "Come What May," while his TB-infected hooker girlfriend dies in a shower of rose petals at his feet?
Sorry; complete other rant. I hate the Hooker With a Heart of Gold storyline, even when the hoor is as heart-stoppingly beautiful as Kidman was in Moulin Rouge.

I'm right there with you, honey.
