This is awful, man. So sorry to hear this.
Short answer: know your kid. Know what their limits are, what frightens them, makes them laugh, makes them cry. Most importantly, know WHY. My son watched MMA with me when I know its not going to be a bloody fight. He's not phased by that. Andy Serkis' voice in the new Star Wars trailer? TERRIFIED HIM. Hands over ears, eyes shut, "NO, NO DADDY!" So what does that (and my countless other observations) tell me? He's not afraid of the physical. He's not afraid of stuff happening to our bodies. But tone and mood can wreck him if I don't present it well. SO...I act accordingly. I show him stuff that's within his comfort zone, but up to the edge of it, with the goal of expanding it. Because that should be the goal of all us parents. Media is out there and younger an younger kids are getting bombarded by it and with an unprecedented amount of access to it. It's going to be out of my hands sooner than later. All I can do is not insult his intelligence, lead and occasionally push, and most importantly of all, digest and discuss everything we see together. I say, take them to Hobbit. TALK about beheadings and why in that scenario its ok. Drew McWeeny just showed DIE HARD to his kids, and his oldest accidentally let a "Yippe Kai Yay MOTHER FUCKER," before realizing what he said. Drew calmly responded, "Buddy we don't ever say that word. John McClaine is fighting terrorists, he has an excuse."
Whats the worst that happens? A discussion? We should be welcoming all that.
*shrugs* from episode 1 this is pretty much how I suspected it would end. That said, I'm sure this isn't the last time we've heard of Adnan's fate. As a slice of life of the process of investigation, I loved it. Then again, I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't mind unconventional endings.
Here's one I saw (extraordinarily illegally, I might add) after recording but it's already in my too 5 for the year. A Korean Documentary called, "MY LOVE, DONT CROSS THAT RIVER." Purely devastating.
A friend of mine produced it. I go on at length about it in an upcoming episode.
I've been public about it, but the Boogie Nights commentary is great. It's so casual, people are cooking, there's a baby somewhere, but in the middle of it all people are having a great conversation about the film. It fit for the ensemble nature of the film. Just a lot of fun.
I have an allergic eration to hearing my own voice, but in terms of WAYDM commentaries I've been on, I think the ones I can stand to listen to are Twilight, LOTR, Alien, and The Prestige. Of commentaries I wasn't on but I really dug, Raiders was great. Abyss was the very best of the man called Trey. There's a million I'm leaving out, but off the top of my head those are good ones.
for podcast topic glee.....topic glee...topic....
...oh my god. the orphanage....
HE'S GOING TO BOMB THE ORPHANAGE!!!!! WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!!!!!!!!!
I think the fact the listenership is so large is sort of the theme of serial so far. It's easy to get wrapped up in the hysteria of the pursuit of a person's innocence or guilt, but the fact is trying to actually figure out the truth is hard, frustrating work.
I'm calling it now: the ending will be unsatisfactory to most of the listeners, and thus prove the whole concept: that the pursuit of truth is often unrewarding and bitterly dissatisfying, and yet we have to try anyway.
I'm absolutely addicted from EP 1. I'm calling it now though, I don't think for a second we're gonna get a conclusive answer to the mystery. I'm ok with that but I think the internet is going to shit in it's own mouth once the last episode drops.
It was the first movie I took my son to in a theater and what an awesome choice. It's really something special. Vastly superior to Frozen with great characters, a story that doesn't pander to kids, and carries an awesome pro-science message.
I blame you all.
That's very kind of you and greatly appreciated. Even more than money, time is our most valuable resource, and you donated a good chunk of it. It's not unnoticed.
Jerry Lawler.
Aaaand we're back! Tonight in the US on Bravo the season premiere of The peoples Couch.
I cut the amazing race segment.
This is to say nothing of David, Mike's boyfriend, whom we've all gotten to know these past couple of months, and is facing this situation with as much fortitude as anyone could hope for.
