Yeah, but the people writing the movie didn't, and they're the ones who wouldn't let him have his ice cream.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The unappealing looking folks deserve their happies, too.
Course they do. I see it as a life like storytelling device. So very often we as people are denied, oftentimes through no action of our own, our happies.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Huh. I never even considered body image issues in the Tourist Who Can't Get His Ice Cream. I was happily chuckling at a well-worn comedy trope.

He could have been a thin schlump, but you never see the pretty people being denied their goodies. It's always the hang-dog guy or the fat guy--the one you're allowed to make fun of.

That Trix rabbit still needed to just start shanking some kids, though.

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

I'd pay cash money to see that on YouTube.

Possibly related to why I thought Lucky the Leprechaun needed to shank a few kids to get them to stop trying to steal his shit.

See, this is my problem with the Trix bunny. I don't think the kids were being arbitrarily mean; I think they were performing a citizen's arrest. Damn bunny never seemed to want to *pay* for his fruitily delicious part of a well-balanced breakfast, he just wanted to *take* it.
Fuckin' bunny throws some bills around, those kids would be pelting him with boxes of faux-fruit sugar balls.

a) This is SO TOTALLY GLOSSING OVER the racism inherent in singling out his bunniness every time they snatched sugary bliss from him, and b) You mother never taught you to share?
