I doubt it would be related--why would any Americans care enough to make any use of the term, derogatory or otherwise?
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

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.

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

I care about the Jamaican Maroons! Totally badass! "Fuck all y'all, we're up in the mountains. It's bad for you if you come at us."

Maroon was always paired with "im-bess-ill" for imbecile with Bugs, so I suspect it had nothing to do with any known terms, just comical miss-prow-nun-see-ations.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have never read the book, so-- I have seen 2 trailers for Perks of Being a Wallflower, one of which features "come on Eileen", and one of which features David Bowie's "Heroes", and I can't tell whether this is a period piece, and the people are my age, but teenagers in 1980 whatever, or if they are hipsters. Please advise.

I think it's this. Also it's gotten really good reviews.

Hey. New board.
The book is set in the 1980s.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.

God bless Shane Black for giving me someonething else to ship Stark with. He is my favourite Marvel LBD.

I just saw Frankenweenie. That lightly hit a few current hot buttons, but what a fun movie. Definitely the best Tim Burton movie since...I think I may go with Jilli here and say Big Fish.
And, again, agreeing with Jilli, I'm not sure I could see Big Fish again anytime soon.
