Your photo essay is incomprehensible.

Wtf? I never once thought that... why does everything have to be made into something more than it is? just leave stuff alone! jeez!

You should have replied to the original poster, not me. I felt targeted by your mild attacks and I deserve an appology!

Wow, sorry. I never think about that when I reply, I just reply to the last person. My bad! I apologize!

I agree. even when I was little and watched this movie I thought there was something different with them.

i guess everyone has their own ideas..

reply

It's definitely there. I still maintain that this movie turned me gay ;)

If more than one person noticed it, it can't just be wishful thinking (although it's that, too).

reply

You too? :D I saw it in theaters when I was seven, and I had a wicked crush on both of them, which I didn't understand until I was a lot older. But, yeah, I agree that there's at least some lesbian subtext to the good girly girl running away with the big bad tomboy, if I'm remembering that part of the movie correctly.

reply

I always (and still have) had a wicked crush on Christina Ricci. But I do identify as straight and am in a relationship with a man, but there are women I'd go gay for, and she's one of them.

reply

Me too!! XDD

That is absolutely absurd. Can girls not enjoy one another's company without being considered a lesbian anymore? Girls at a young age prefer the friendship of each other because they are alike, and many do develop a bond where they really love one another, but that doesn't mean they are IN LOVE with them. Gosh.

reply

Yeah, "Gosh" overidentify a little?

It seems like if a girl has a lot of female friends, she is a lesbian. If she has a lot of male friends, she is a slut. Kind of stupid that some people think like that.

reply

That is the stupidest website ever.

She reminded me of Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World. Could that be who you're thinking of?

I have to agree in that when I first saw Jody, I could have sworn she was a boy. Until I realized, oh wait, she has what appear to be boobs lol. It was a slow, entertaining-ish movie and helped me fall asleep. The acting is also decent considering the lead characters comprise of children. Lesbian undertone, or no undertone? I assume would lie in the eye of the beholder. For me, it was just two little kids doing crazy mischievous things that we, as children once, should be able to relate to. Minus the criminal record, ofcourse lol.

reply

honestly, there is no question in my mind that the subtext is completely there. i did a whole project about it in a class I took a few years ago. this is probably the gayest movie i've ever seen.

reply

Spirit toe:
Any chance of the rest of us seeing said project?

Yup, I definitely got that. Especially when I watched it again after I realized I was a lesbian, lol.

reply

You mean when you chose to be a lesbian?

reply

I think I've always been one but it was hiding in the closet.

reply

You're unbelievable. You just opened up a new bag of worms because you're ignorant and closed minded.

reply

So now two girls can't be friends without being thought of as lovers?

reply

sooooo muuch subtext. im watching it now on i think hbo? and its screaming LESBIAN!
nothing wrong with it though.

A joke is a very serious thing.
