When you're laying in bed trying to sleep but just can't or you're sitting in class and don't want to pay attention, or you just need something deep to think about, consider these for food for your thoughts:
In the movie "Back to the Future", when Lorraine AKA Marty's mom kisses Marty in the car (ew. Gross!) she immediately feels wrong about it and describes the feeling of kissing him as kissing her brother. On the other hand, in the movie "17 Again", Maggie, the daughter of Mike, tries to kiss her young-again father and totally doesn't feel weird about anything that happens between them. We must ask ourselves this question: which is right? Which would be the most true-to-life, the most plausible, or the least yuck-inducing? Think about it.
In the movie "Sky High", the children of the superheroes inherit talents similar to those of their parents (for example, Will Stronghold can fly and has super strength, and Layla can control plants, both of their powers being related to those of their parents). On the other hand, in the movie "The Incredibles" all the Incredible children inherit talents or powers entirely UNrelated to those of their parents (Violet does her force field thing and goes invisible while her parents have super strength and stretch, Dash runs really fast, and Jack-Jack...well, none of us is really sure WHAT he does). Anyway, why the difference? Which is more realistic? Which should be the "norm"? What other movies can we compare this to?
These are the important kinds of thoughts you should be having frequently.
