[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched it today. The ending was beyond stupid. And Simone looked like a child, so the whole premise of 2 older rich dudes falling desperately in love made them seem like pedophiles.[/quote]

Uh, sounds exactly like every rich old guy in the news.[/quote]

They are falling for someone who looks 12?[/quote]

The actress is 25 and the character was 25. Forty years younger than Kevin Bacon but your comment is projecting something that wasn't there. [/quote]

I didn’t personally think she was a bombshell 20 something. She was not really super attractive. I just didn’t buy it - she just was young and child like.[/quote]

She only looks old and childlike to old women who aren't around young adults.

To anyone else, she looks like a typical 20-something.[/quote]

Look, 12 may have been an exaggeration, but she is very VERY young looking for a mid-20 something adult. She is by no means some drop dead gorgeous woman.[/quote]

it is a shame to reduce this show to a long conversation about whether the female character was attractive enough to warrant the interest of the male character. Don't you have anything more interesting to discuss?

On the other hand, you are providing a *perfect* example of misogyny/internalized misogyny, which basically underscores the themes in the show, so I guess thanks for that.

The whole point is that the dude wants to relive his youth, he literally says that himself and it's also hinted at implicitly many many times. He wants to be around someone pure and light so he can feel like his life meant something. This isn't about her. This is about him. Like the rest of his life.

Gah. Sometimes I read this forum and wonder if anyone watches the shows that they "watch" anymore.[/quote]
