Hey Erik, will you be doing a Disclosure Day breakdown?

Saw it last night and I really think its a case of the Emperors new clothes.. if Speilberg hadn't directed it would be a Prime bargain basement movie in my opinion.

Plot points that went nowhere, strange acting choices, a sense of unjustified importance, aliens who obviously cant fly based on the amount they crash.. motivation of people to turn against the authority they worked for based on something they had to know about before.. just strange overall to me.

But of course dont let a randomer on reddit colour your opinion! Ha

Born in 80, teenager into the 90s. My parents were good providers but there were 5 children in the family and I was the oldest. Father worked a mid level job and mother wss a house wife. We were rural so thats at least good for a generation behind anyway.

It was a happy childhood in that we never wanted for basics and always looked after in that sense. But.. my parents never did anything for us children that we might enjoy, days out were things they wanted to do and we were brought too. Sports was what were were forced to play, no choice, GAA forced on us even if we might have been better at something else. I was a reader and fantasy/sci fi fan and that was actively discouraged.

I see they have mellowed now with grandchildren and I dont recognise how they act now, ha. Was it a product of the time really and how hard 80s Ireland was? I cant really talk to them about it as I feel they would be hurt as feel they were blamed for something bad. Its wasn't bad just I can say I never felt that I was important. Same for other families from what I saw then.

These days parents seem to 'like' their children and nurture and support them, that was not something I saw with mine or friends parents back then! I can definitely saw my children are centre of our worlds and we try to make them feel special as such.

According to a nurse friend of mine the majority of men dont pull their foreskin back in shower and wash underneath properly, well those who have foreskin anyway.. surely that cant be true!?

She has to deal with the 'great unwashed' quite a bit in her job.
