That's -- wow.

Probably more traumatizing than if she'd just freaked out, no? Surely the only dignity-maintaining response is her the parent in that situation to pretend not to notice, right?

The kids empty, emotionless gaze was what disturbed me. He had just been caught jerking off, fer Christ's sake. Definitely a sociopath in the making.

But, but it's not a candid camera moment from somebody's webcam, it is a re-enactment. To respond to it as if it were something in the real world is to miss the intent behind the composition -- which I don't know what it is, it looks sort of like it's taken from a propaganda piece from the early '80's or so, instructing parents on how to behave in that sort of situation; but there's also a strong possibility it is from a campy parody of such a propaganda piece, from a much later time.

Speaking of campy parodies, did you all watch the short film Apo linked to, under the title "Dear Hunter"?

The cold, detached, wistful stare while he's jerking is much more disturbing, imo.

I liked how Ricky's mom basically says, "you're old enough to have These Feelings, but too young to actually talk about them."

Also, this looks to be from the late 60s-early 70s, based on the hairdos and the "Make Love Not War" (irony!) sign on the inside of Ricky's door.

Is "orally sexated" intended to introduce ambiguity between fellatio and analingus?

31 I was going to write 'sexed,' per the local idiom, but 'to sex' technically means 'to determine the sex of,' which generally doesn't require an oral examination. And 'fellatio' just seems so overworked these days.

okay well I know the story of Ricky, not going to divulge my sources on this, but basically he was yes, still jerking off while she was talking and the reason why he was looking like that was because he had been masturbating imagining her intruding and saying the exact same things she actually did say when she did intrude. So there was no way he was going to let that opportunity pass him by, a fetish fantasy fulfillment story come to life.

"Pride's better at the higher weight classes. UFC seems more loaded at the lighter ones."

Yeah, that sounds about right. All Pride really ever cared about was heavyweights, anyhow. Although they did have BJ Penn, and didn't they have Yves St. Laurent for a while?
