I'm back. Did not love the movie. The entire concept is disturbing.

I can't get past the concept of it, either. There are so many reasons I can think of why it would be so unlikely - not to mention the uncomfortable factor of being a parent - that this is a movie and book series I intend to skip.

It's one thing if you have a Lord of the Flies set-up. That remains a favored book. But that is a much, much different scenario than the Hunger Games, and far more plausible to me.

So here's what happened.

We walk in the mall. As we walk in, there's this old guy, alone, walking out. He seems to be eyeing my girls. He gets to the door and then changes his mind and comes back in. We buy our tickets, but it's 6pm, and our movie starts at 7. There's a food court right there so we get dinner. (I had a gyro.)

The old dude meanwhile seemed to circle the food court, then he took a seat at a table not too too far away, but not that close either. He didn't have anything to eat or drink or even read. He just sat there, took a good look in our direction or the other direction or he fiddled with a bandanna that he had. He seemed to look in our direction more than once, and also at another table in the other direction where 3 or 4 girls about the same age sat. Eventually, he got up and went deeper into the mall.

So, what does everyone think?

I didn't even think mall security. I thought police, but nothing he did was illegal.

I did check NYS Sex registry. He wasn't on there.

Amazing how many were. And how many people were convicted of sex with minors or forcible rape and yet only got probation or 1-3 years.

Oy.

Thanks for sharing. As a parent, I've heard enough to know I don't want to see the movie.

I had a similar experience at "Kick-Ass." My daughter couldn't understand why it disturbed me.

Ditto!

Unless they're trying to start a new Anthology or something.

Creepy and wrong.
Oh, my. Aren't you all looking fetching.

I'd forgotten it was April Fool's Day. Even though that's my uncle's birthday.

Or maybe especially because. Who knows?

Yup, it's that time of year.

And instead of an overhaul, it's a little mystery. Complete with clues and everything.

:D

Wait? Clues? I expected something to happen today. I've also noticed that not everyone had their avatar changed. I just assumed that the mods either didn't get to everyone or some people logged in, saw it, and then changed it back again.

Is there something else we're supposed to do or be looking for?

I have no idea what all else we're supposed to be looking for (although not everyone's changed avatar is exactly the same, if you look), just that there are clues scattered throughout the forum.

:idea:

Only if you want to, Vince. Only if you want to.


You can also just follow along - somewhat - in the April Fool's Thread.
