Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had no interest in sex whatsoever until I was 15.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

In response to Big, is it a prevailing opinion that a thirteen year old (chronologically and mentally) having sex with an adult woman is icky?

When I first saw Big, I don't think it pinged me at all, and I was around the age Josh would have been. I did not know what sex really was, though, and I think that part went mostly over my head. From my adult perspective, I think that 1) yes it was statutory rape, even if she was not a knowing perpetrator and 2) yes, it's a little odd and creepy. But I don't think it's out of character for a 13 yo boy who's trying desperately to seem like an adult to be interested in sex and also just go with the flow and not really know what's going on. If I'd been the woman I would have been seriously wigged out and guilt-ridden after finding out.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

clearly I remember the movie wrong. I thought the "do you mean sleep over?" scene ended in sex.

I too would have wigged the hell out when I found out the truth.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

At the time I didn't think of it, but I was much less inclined to take stuff apart than I would be today.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I feel like I should see the movie again when I'm not stupid tired. I don't remember half of what you guys are talking about. I may like it better when I'm fully conscious.

I did like Captain America better when I was fully conscious! Turns out I kind of slept through most of the rescue scene, so I had no idea who the Howling Commandos were and I had no idea what the hell was going on in the latter half of the movie because I missed the part where Cap saw the map of the other Hydra outposts. It sure does improve the movie experience to be awake!

One thing I appreciated on a rewatch was the very first scene after Steve gets the serum. When he's chasing after the guy, you can really tell that he's a little guy in a big guy's body. He doesn't know how to move with this strength: when he leaps over the fence, you can see that his hands are out because he expected to grab the top and pull himself over.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

When I was 13 I would have known that spend the night means sex. (And again does not mean I would have been capable of giving meaningful consent. I would not have thought about the possibility of pregnancy or disease, or how deep trouble I could get in or the woman could get in. ) And I know people vary on this. But I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who was interested in sex at 13.

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

Apparently Laurence Fishburne will be the new Perry White.

Are they worse than the new Spider-Man ones? It's fucking Morpheus, dudes.

I was interested in sex at 13 but when presented with the opportunity I ran. But yeah I'm female.

I am going to print out "don't read the comments" and paste it across the top of my screen.
