Used to make me cry when Frank dies. My kid loved it, but wasn’t emotionally effected like I was

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Cool movies for a 12 year old boy to see?
- Thread starter Harry Powell
- Start date
Prey (2022) if it hasn't been suggested.
Surviving the Game (1994)
Surviving the Game (1994)
Surviving the Game is a GREAT fawkin’ CHOICE, that’s going on the list
We watched Prey (2022) on an airplane. He dug it and I wanted to fuck that Squaw. I should make a post about it.
With Halloween coming up, if he's into horror the original Alien rules. I really like the original Dawn of the Dead, although the special effects were very dated even when I saw it. If you can get past that though, it's a great survival movie. Also enjoyed the Evil Dead movies back then.
@McGowan6 I get what you mean about a couple years making a difference. Those years kind of blurred together for me. My parents didn't mind action or some horror, but I wouldn't have been allowed to watch something like Taxi Driver or Blue Velvet back then. Even if they're less gory, I guess they considered the content too adult and disturbing for a teenager.

Big Trouble in Little China
has he seen the warriors? 12 year-old me loved it. the kill bill movies might also be good picks
Also Blues Brothers
Kill Bill is perfect for 12 year olds (though the whole 'pussy wagon' bit is a bit much)...but as an adult it doesn't hold up. They quote a Trix cereal commercial. It's cringe.
Also, women would be terrible kung fu artists/ninja.
I always forget about the comatose rape section; such an uncomfortable and pointless scene. @Harry Powell if you do go with kill bill, maybe fast forward the movie after she wakes up in hospital and realises her baby's gone
I mean, it's basically a live action cartoon. just enjoy the fun movie, stupid
Sure, but it's part of the propaganda that women are the same as men.
"Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" was also just a fun movie. So was "Roots." The aftermaths of those films, not so fun.
I’m a lifelong Cubbies fan because of this movie, despite being from southern California.
"Women don't make good ninjas." I wish I realized that sooner.
On the other side of the coin, here are good movies I saw around that age that I think were highly inappropriate and my parents should be ashamed of themselves.
Sophie's Choice, just a depressing fucking movie.
The Boys From Brazil, really psychologically horrifying stuff in there. I don't remember much of it, but the impression I have is very strong and unpleasant.
Gandhi, but that was my psychotic 4th grade teacher's fault. Not a movie for 10 year olds.
The Shining, I might have been 13 but I was alone in the house at night and had decided to get drunk on brandy. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if I were sober and my dad was watching it with me.

All the Naked Gun movies
Get him into old school Rasslin. WWF and ECW.
It will teach him how to figure out that Politics is fake bullshit.
It will teach him to always question unfair authority, even if it means putting a target on his own back.
It will teach him to give bullies a fuckin' CRACK if they try the fake tough guy act with him.
It will teach him that gays and most minorities are showy and just want negative attention.
It will teach him that women are property who can be bought, sold, won and lost in contests between men.
It will teach him to turn on his friends if they take advantage of him, or if they take credit for his achievements.
It will teach him that sometimes the only way to survive is to grab your competition by the throat and to choke the life out of them.
It will teach him thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, and thou shalt not Fuck with The Dudleyz.

Fawk I just remembered, if he’s into sports especially football he’s gotta see Friday Night Lights.
damn that's a real ass post right there. I second this, The Warriors, Ace Ventura and Beetlejuice which were all mentioned.
I'd add:
Office Space
Silence of the Lambs
Young Frankenstein
Jeremiah Johnson
Fargo? you may need to wait a year or two to introduce The Big Lebowski
if you really want your kid to be fancy schmancy you should also force him to watch some longer format stuff. Spartacus would be a good first.
