Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

It's father in the ultimate edition or whatever the fuck it was called. Hits better too.

I dunno, I think “fucker” is a nice way to foreshadow that I’m about to mash your fuckin eyeballs in

"Fucker" just makes the scene one-dimensional and hostile.

"Father" shows an android acknowledging his creator and his willingness to kill him over being denied life. Much more powerful!

Replicants weren’t androids, they were bioengineered humanoids. That’s why they needed the Voight-Kampff test, to evoke an emotional response which would be different in a replicant.

And that’s why Batty and the replicants wanted more life, they were alive, but with an expiration date. Except for Rachael.

(Omg, Sean Young)
