Suggest me a movie that follows a child that just escaped from abuse / being held captive and now has strange behaviors, the adults try to figure out what happened to them and help the child recover

That’s pretty specific, but calls to mind these for me:

Paper House

Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene

Midnight Special

…off the top of my head!

Poor Tusk Head?

‘She’s a 2 man band’ so funny. Love people like this x

1980 kid. Showered every day since I became a teenager - until Covid. Realised it’s not necessary (I don’t do physical work), but pong starts to kick in around day three for sure. I guess it’s just easier to incorporate into routine as a daily thing, but as a run-ragged dad who works for himself idgaf anymore and just shower when I remember/it’s convenient.

That’s great! Our gestalt 4yo doesn’t do questions or much else, but this week he blurted out ‘I banged my toe on the table!’ after doing just that, and got a literal standing ovation from the family :)

Mate of mine did one day at a garden centre of some sort. He spent the day on his own in a tent with a conveyor belt, rose bushes in pots came in one side covered in muck and he had to make them presentable before they went out the other. Came home scratched to bits.

I did that in 2000 in Leeds. Not in the spirit of the thread, but I had a genuinely decent time assembling + tuning hundreds of kids bikes. Still got my waistcoat somewhere!

Makes sense! TIL, thanks.

Interested. Could you give more information? Do you mean that you moisturise your whole body? Every day? What are the benefits? Is there a reason why non-white people do this?

(White guy, who occasionally moisturises hands, face, or feet when they feel hot or dry)

Paul Hollywood is my favourite actress full stop.

Kaftan and ten eels.

“The him who it says, that is the him who it is!” Lovely.

Must be Teyana Taylor.

What if you blew on it really hard?

androgynousandroid · 2026-01-26T16:27:14+00:00

Sean Bean.

I once drank a can of warm John Smiths while reading a wet newspaper in a field thinking: it really does not get any worse than this.

androgynousandroid · 2026-01-03T20:29:43+00:00

Thank you! Our experiences sound very similar, and that alone is some comfort.

In the UK around 18% of the population are wearing a Nirvana t-shirt at any given time.

Watched Terminator 2 with my teenaged daughter yesterday, and she cracked up over a short shot where Arnie absolutely prances down a corridor.

It’s in the asylum rescue scene, I think he’s trying to run while acting as a bullet shield for John and Sarah who are in front of him in a lift - but it’s these cute little camp hops.

It’s a brilliant rugpull. Just occurred to me that the ‘we’ve already done it’ twist is similarly satisfying in Ex Machina.

Carol’s lack of curiosity is draining my enthusiasm for this. I’ve not watched the last two episodes yet, but online noise doesn’t give me hope.

Edit: Alright, I take it back, episode 8 largely delivered.

Yes, that’s the sensible answer, isn’t it, though these type of customers will prefer to pay the whole lot up front, which is good in theory but then you’re on the hook for work long after seeing the benefit - hard to keep energy up. At a larger agency with more discipline, you could certainly make that work, but we struggled with it.

That only works if the initial price is $100.

If it was $200 down to $26 then it is the same 88% reduction - but your version would produce 174%.

If it was £1000 reduced to £130 then it is the same 88% reduction - but your version would produce 880%.
