The only adult people who watch those movies, are parents with their kids. Never saw any single adult persons in theatres. I have said for years no adult I know dismisses a movie as being "for kids" What theaters you going to? I'm not the only 50+ audience member. There are also a lot of 20-somethings

OP used to freak out everytime someone mentioned the movie Labyrinth on the IMDb boards and I mentioned Labyrinth in one of his threads today and he sent me a message saying he’s leaving this board forever... Oh well...

There are also a lot of 20-somethings I think Neo refers to intelligence age, merh. Biological age does not always correlate with the latter.

As someone who only read 2 of his works, what is the proper context of the ubiquitous quote? Whole essay here. I wrote about it for egon1982 in a PM (he’d asked me to give my take): Who rediscovered the quotation anyway? I’d never seen it outside of the essay until Raptor started ranting about it and how it “proved” that liking the MCU was OK. Of course liking the MCU is OK. I like the MCU. But the quote doesn’t apply to it. Also, isn’t the usage of the quote predicated on the idea that the MCU is childish? So those people who use it are shooting themselves in the foot [feet?]. the raptor also justifies his love for My Little Pony, SailorMoon & Co with this quote; especially his fanfiction on these franchises.

Tell me about C.S. Lewis, egon1982 . I’m particularly interested to know your thoughts on the famed but often-criticized Trilemma, or the distinctions between The Problem of Pain and A Grief Observed, or your opinions on how the Space Trilogy influenced Star Wars. Oo, oo, how about how Till We Have Faces offers a theodicy, and why Lewis chose Orual to narrate it. Why not Psyche? Why not the Fox? Or, if we must be simple about it, why must holy places be dark places? Go get em, Salz!

I'm not Sam, i'm a friend of his and he is right sometimes and so is Weirdraptor. Only 14 year olds think of "grounded" and "realistic" in films. Wait... You know Sam... IN REAL LIFE? ?

The only adult people who watch those movies, are parents with their kids. Never saw any single adult persons in theatres. That's remarkably difficult to believe.
Then again, I've seen every MCU movie in the theater save for Antman and the Wasp and I never see parents with their kids, so an explanation that works for both of us is I do late shows and you (for some ungodly) do to afternoon shows. Movies are my life and even then, they're not an option till after 7-8 pm.

So basically you're a moron who overpays. I go Sunday mornings, blazed out of my mind.
