If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.
Watched the Jennifer Lawrence horror movie “house at the end of the street” because I remember watching it on a high school band trip. It is not good but Dylan from bates motel is in it. Would’ve benefited from less teen shit and more family tragedy.
Basic premise: teen j law and mom move to some house next to a house where a family got killed. Specifically disabled daughter kills parents, 19 year old son left behind. Daughter presumed dead. Plot twist daughter is alive and the son is keeping her in the basement. Plot twist again the daughter died when she was a kid and the son is keeping random women in the basement pretending they’re her. Plot twist 3 he does all this not just because he feels guilty for accidentally causing her death as a child but because his parents made him pretend to be his sister after her death until he killed them and started living as himself again.
I do enjoy joking that he’s a trans icon but the reality of the movie is that the parents forcing son to be daughter is just cis gender panic about good cis kids getting fucked in the head by parents that try to make them gender nonconform. It’s like psycho adjacent gender panic.
That in mind, the movie could have kept the transphobia and still been a more enjoyable film if they 1. Went all in on the fucked up family dynamic, make Ryan weirder with his fake sister(s) 2. Made the cop more ineffective and 3. For somebody weirder for Ryan. Max Thieriot (who would later appear as Dylan, Norman’s older brother, in my favorite show bates motel) is too blue eyed and normal. He’s just some guy with eyelashes.
