that kid could not be any more annoying


damn!

I don't think he was annoying at all. He was just a very lonely child with heart problems and his father had recently died. He was very sad and needed a friend, and when he had finally found a friend in Ben, everyone decided they wanted Ben dead. I think he was just going through a rough time in his life and needed the gift of friendship.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

He didn't annoy me once...which is a novelty for me, most kids do.

Life ain't easy when you're a Froot Loop in a world full of Cheerios.

He didn't annoy me either. People act like he was just supposed to tell the cops "the rats are right here. Sure you can come right in and kill them all! Be my guest." Most kids in movies annoy me too. I notice they're either so foul mouthed and disrespectful that you wish their parents would just smack them, or so overly polite and sweet that it makes you cringe. I like them somewhere in between and I think Danny was just fine.

Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!
