Went to cinema this week with DH, planning to take DS and his brother tomorrow for birthday treat. I can't believe that in 2016 we will be forced to walk past this poster and that they have even called the film Dirty Granpa!

Really??? Letching older man perving young woman's suggestively raised arse whilst other man holds 'petrol nozzle' pointing at her?? I don't want my sons seeing this sexist shit.
(only one cinema in our town btw)

There seem to be different posters floating about.

That's common, Cumbria. We were discussing a different version earlier (De Niro in stockings)

CultureSucksDownWords · 08/01/2016 19:39

What is that version even trying to get across?

"Bright-side, I'm not sure if the results of the study are caused by nature or nurture. However if their behaviour is detrimental to the other half of the population in the serious way that it is, then I don't think it should be catered to, no."

Good grief!!! Shock 😂

Italiangreyhound · 08/01/2016 19:42

YANBU, it's a horrible poster.

We should have a MN outing to this film.

goodnightdarthvader1 · 08/01/2016 19:47

You can "good grief" me all you like. Children are inherently selfish, that behaviour is amended by social conditioning. This isn't so different. But as I said, this could be caused by nature, it could be caused by nurture (eg media, attitudes and social conditioning).

But of course we can't expect men to change, can we? Nope, women should just put up with it. Like we have for thousands of years.

How many complaints to the ASA?

Not lust. You're hearing what you want to hear. The study was about the fact they view women as tools to be used.

limitedperiodonly · 08/01/2016 19:49

You are a nutter.

That's not a very nice thing to say, is it LordBrightside?

goodnightdarthvader1 · 08/01/2016 19:49

Brightside, we've covered this (what about the menz). Seriously.

LordBrightside · 08/01/2016 19:49

I apologise. I take it back.

LordBrightside · 08/01/2016 19:50

"The study was about the fact they view women as tools to be used."

According to you that's nature. So your complaint is?

limitedperiodonly · 08/01/2016 19:51

Why would anyone complain about that MMXXL poster LordBrightside?

goodnightdarthvader1 · 08/01/2016 19:51

Ugh. Ok, I've tried, I give up.

LordBrightside · 08/01/2016 19:52

"this (what about the menz). Seriously."

Indeed. Your contempt was made clear as was your sexism and hypocrisy.

LordBrightside · 08/01/2016 19:53

I don't think anyone would but it does contain semi naked strippers. How do we explain it to all of poor DSs and DDs if they had to walk past it in the cinema?

LordBrightside · 08/01/2016 19:55

Eh, the study measured the brain. It wasn't about nurture.

goodnightdarthvader1 · 08/01/2016 19:56

Brightside, again, I've explained that very clearly. Twice, I think. I'm not doing it again, I'd just be repeating myself. Feel free to scroll up if you've forgotten already.

SoupDragon · 08/01/2016 19:57

what about the menz

I tend to think anyone that uses the word "menz" is an idiot.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 08/01/2016 20:00

I thought this was another thread bashing fat Mners

goodnightdarthvader1 · 08/01/2016 20:01

That's nice, SoupDragon. As useful in the debate as Brightside calling me a nutter. Thanks for your valuable contribution to this discussion.

limitedperiodonly · 08/01/2016 20:05

I don't think anyone would but it does contain semi naked strippers.

Does it? I haven't heard of it but it looks like there might be some good dance tunes in it so I might be tempted to investigate.

At least the people with fit bodies in the poster have heads and are all doing things while looking at the camera as opposed to being a truncated arse being gazed upon by at least one person who is a sad old pervert.

Fucking hell. On closer inspection of that MMXXL poster I think all of them might be men.

You might be on to something here LordBrightside.

Keep it up

Do you SoupDragon?

Do you really?
