Sophie and Laura Dern
Didn't Sophie look an awful lot like Laura Dern? I thought that when she first showed up in the movie, and then they went to see Blue Velvet and I thought that that was very ironic.
shareYes, that does seem a little ironic. However, I wonder how the older kid would've felt seeing Short Circuit, since there is a scene in there of Ally Sheedy's character in a bathtub and we don't see her breasts but the robot does. I mention this because he said he was going to see that film.
shareThe thing that stood out to me in that scene is that it was the kids who were at first going to see Short Circuit. But it was the father who mentioned Blue Velvet was playing. And true to form, the son went along with the father.
Interestingly, the father didn't immediately put Short Circuit down as being a fluffy escapism movie, as I might have guessed his character would. Maybe he was just trying to be polite by only suggesting a different movie.
There was another scene in which the father and the son were watching TV and were watching Three's Company. I wouldn't think that would be something the father would sit still for.
