Since I named this place Adults Only and clearly stated that children aren't allowed, I better get down to the nitty-gritty at some point, and explain what the fuck that means. Since lists are all the craze right now I decided to make one of my own. Just remember, it's never too late to grow, mature, better yourselves! So here we go:
10. You don't think it makes a difference if you write 'u' instead of 'you'. Afterall, people aren't stupid. They get the point, right?
9. You've had an emotional response to any movie that Kevin Smith has made. They're comedies.
8. Same as no. 9, except insert Pixar for Kevin Smith.
7. You're a patriot. Putting any sort of value to something as arbitrary and random as where you were born is insane to say the least.
6. Your idea of realism is when Bruce Wayne gets stitches.
5. You hate children. It surprises noone that people who hate children, mostly are children themselves and that their hate is spawned mainly out of a sense of jealousy. Kids hate other kids. Adults hate parents.
4.You prefer Star Wars over Star Trek.
3. You're religious. I hate putting this on here, because it's such an easy target, but that happens to be the precise reason it needs to be here. Even if you can't take it seriously, you have to realize the horror that some people do, even if they are just children.
2. You think that look matters as much as content. In any part of life.
1. You're an optimist.

Reason number 11. that you may be a child:
You've just blogged about finishing the seventh Harry Potter book.
ZING
Now now...
Who's passing judgement on unknown material this time Jay C.?
Since when is having an emotional reaction to a comedy childish?
Since I made it so.
I definitely didn't say comedies as a whole, I said Kevin Smith and Pixar movies. That's the major difference.
The problem I have, arises only when people treat movies that are comedies and nothing more, as some sort of emotionally engaging piece about where they are in their personal lives. Like The Incredibles actually has something to say about being middle-aged, or Clerks is a poignant commentary on being 26.
"The problem I have, arises only when people treat movies that are comedies and nothing more, as some sort of emotionally engaging piece about where they are in their personal lives."
I highly doubt that all of Pixar's films are made solely as a comedy. Take Ratatouille for example. One of the themes that I really like in the film is about finding/creating excellence.
I'm going to split hairs with you here Henrik ...
10. I frequently write 'u' instead of 'you'. Mostly because it's funny.
9. I think laughter counts as an emotional response, but if you're talking about feeling any reaction towards the poignant or deep moments of his films, then no.
8. I felt genuinely weepy at the end of Wall-E.
7. I am not a patriot, thank God.
6. Well, that's a moment of relative realism for a Batman movie.
5. I hate children. I hate couples who have children, especially old friends who are getting married and doing this.
4. I prefer Star Wars over Star Trek. But I don't make a big deal about it.
3. I am not religious at all, though I also wasn't emotionally scarred by my religious upbringing.
2. I think in a lot of areas look matters as much or more as content. It depends what your goal is. Selling shit to a mass audience? Definitely. Magazines, popular music, movies ... I work in the magazine industry, and I know there's a reason why designers are paid more than writers. Their work translates more tangibly to the bottom line. Not saying it's right, but it's a fact of life. So in general, I don't begrudge anyone for taking a little extra care for the superficialities of the packaging/look/etc. of their work.
1. Hard to say where I fall with this one in the long run, but I think right now I'd lean towards optimist. Six months ago? Pessimist.
Henrik's diagnosis: CHILD
You may be on to something. I still feel like a child. I live with my parents. I still love to eat bowls and bowls of sugary cereal, sit in my room and play Mega Man in my underwear.
You are allowed to be a child.
