"Using a secret camera to broadcast naked high school students on the internet."

"The Notebook (2004), back then people thought it was cute and romantic. But, the dude hangs off a Ferris wheel and threatens to jump unless the girl dates him. In all honesty, even then it was really creepy."

 "I still enjoy it for what it is for the most part, but there are a few things that are pretty problematic, first and foremost being Jake Ryan telling Ted to take advantage of his girlfriend while she's passed out.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's is a really bizarre adaptation. The whole Mickey Rooney thing is by a country mile the most egregious example of the strange decisions that the studio made but there's also so much other stuff that is equally baffling. The story is almost exactly the same as the novella but the tone is completely different, the chronology of events is swapped around so it feels more like a series of vignettes rather than a coherent narrative, and some seemingly minor characterizations are changed which completely transforms the overall feel of the story. Breakfast at Tiffany's the book is a tragic story about the platonic friendship and bond shared between a 19-year-old girl who is constantly exploited by men in her life and the one man who views her as a human being.

Breakfast at Tiffany's the movie is a romantic comedy about a 30-year-old call girl who acts like she's 19 and a male prostitute who do random things together and then fall in love for no reason. I'm begging Hollywood to do an accurate adaptation of this book someday."

"It’s about a “lovable drunk” and the first scene is him having a humorous crash while driving hammered. Oh, we all chuckled." 

"If Kevin Spacey perving on his high school daughter's close friend was creepy back then, it's only become worse now."

"The comedy about how crazy having a black President would be. Released in 2003."

"Drew Barrymore posing as a teenager and having a relationship w the teacher who gets MAD when he finds out shes not a teenager and is his age, then we're just supposed to smooth it over at the end."
