Reply to Positive family representation in movies? by tasfa10

This may sound surprising, but Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and the original Nat'l Lampoon's Vacation movie. The Griswalds aren't perfect, but despite all the zany antics the dad gets them into, they do feel more like a real family than a lot of movies portray.

I am not pretending anything. There can be a way a crew work on it and a director envision it and then a network promote it or categorize it differently. I never said you said animation is just for children, I said what GDT said about animation. It really ISNT presented that way and I think we just both view the movie very differently. Like I wouldnt recommend to my friends to show their kids this movie alone. THATS my pov.

>Then is your question only about Schulz’ hidden gun?

Calvin Candie: Mr. Moguy, would you be so kind as to collect the pistol hanging off these buys' hips here?

If they were hidden how could Candie know they had them? No one had drawn any guns yet except for the guy with the shotgun behind them.

>Do you know what it means to call someone “the lowest of the low”?

Maybe not, I thought it meant bottom rung on the hierarchy.

Because huge numbers with tiny percentage differences are massively different.

Suppose the content library was 10,000 properties. You reduce that number by 2.66% and you're removing 266 properties. If you supposed the difference was 20% films, 40% short series and 40% traditional US style series, that would be, say, .226690+.4266360+.4266946 = just under 2,400 content hours.

What determines significant in this context is how much less stuff you've got to watch. I think having 200 fewer shows and movies is a significant difference.

>It sounds more like cope than anything honestly. "Oh the content library is so large that you should ignore the percentage because then it doesn't make the point I might want it to."

Search: construct validity.

Percentages are not a good way of measuring a lot of things. This is one of them.

When he refers to Stephen as the "lowest of the low" he isn't talking about his importance at Candyland. He's talking about him as a person specifically the fact that Stephen does everything he can in order to keep black people enslaved and ensure he has the absolute easiest life he can as a black man in the South during that time period.

He's essentially calling Stephen the biggest piece of shit out of the entire pile of shit.
