I mean, he’s not the ugliest girl I’ve ever seen
Also…like…I never questioned that he was a girl until I learned this factoid as an adult. So often when they put a man in drag for comedic effect you instantly know you are looking at a man but this kid passes yo.
sometimes I do look at women - even attractive women - and see a man’s face in a moment of contextual disassociation. And vice versa. And I think about how maybe men and women don’t really look facially that dissimilar, there’s just a lot of context that affects our perception.
I am terminally bisexual though so maybe thats part of it.
I’m sorry to hear that. How long do you have?
depends whether you’re reading my grindr profile or my medical records
Fuck. You’re right. A very interesting insight. Thank you for that. I honestly didn’t appreciate how easily primed I can be.
Nah, he probably had sisters, or cousins, or nieces, and he understood he had to take that one for the team. He’s proud today. He tells the story & laughs!
Probably paid for his college.
Look at that photo. It’s such a small part, but he posed for a great photo. I only notice as an adult who has tried to take a photo of kids. Man, they don’t know how to “smile naturally” or take any direction. Then this kid nails “smile like you like me against my wishes” or whatever direction was given.
what’s his name? I want to see interviews of him as an adult talking about it.
“So they used a picture of the Art’s Director unattractive son”
Woof!
Wtf are you barking at
I’m not really barking. I’m sitting here quietly. I typed “woof” with my thumbs. It’s a quote from the movie we’re discussing.
I mean, OK for not picking some random girl and mocking her particularly but what about all the girls in the audience that look like the kid? It’s still a pretty fucked up joke in retrospect.
Are we supposed to pretend that ugly kids don’t exist or something?
I don’t think the problem was the photo, the problem was the reaction of disgust, and the fact that the whole purpose of the photo was to laugh at the ugly person. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say maybe that’s not the best way to go
Yes. In today’s world, everyone is beautiful no matter what is what you’re supposed to say.
Not that being mean for being means she is good, but the directors made a good call, I think.
Directors son, woof
