BUT HE CAN'T SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES!

EXPLAINING THE JOKE FOR WHO DIDN'T GET IT: (movie spoilers)

spoilerThis is about the movie My Girl, which is about a hypocondriac girl and a boy (on the lower image) with tons of allergies, one of them being bees, who develop a friendship. At the movie, the girl drops her ring near a beehive, and the boy goes to look for it, only to get stung by bees and die due to his allergy.

he can’t see without his glasses!

When I first watched it, that part was hard to watch

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Did you lose your glasses too?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Wow, Wickerman will never hit the same way again after reading this...

I'm 60, and I have refused to watch My Girl to this day, because I learned how it ended back when it was released. Sometimes, spoilers are a good thing.

I wish I could tell you that the rest of the movie is worth it, but it really isn't.

In fact, it's how great the preceding 99% of the movie is that makes the ending many times more devastating than it otherwise would be!

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd like to point out the actual lyric is 'made of this', not 'made of these' as most people hear it.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That's such a shame since neither word rhymes with the word "disagree."

Anyway, if what you say is true, Annie Lennox sure has a weird way of pronouncing the word "this." She pronounces it EXACTLY like the word "these." Art is weird.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago

Controversial opinion: Marilyn Manson's version is superior.

Also he says these.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She says more "theeeeeeis", there's a hint of an "is" sound at the end of the word.

I don't get it. It's meant to rhyme with "disagree", and it's not like the song is interpreted differently if it's "these" vs "this".

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

it's called a slant rhyme, and it is the playground of the devil.

See: "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane" for another famous example of two words rhyming that don't.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

not even a little bit, but that didn't stop Lenny Kravitz.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

But "I am" and "hurricane" does rhyme

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

So, funny enough the actual lyric is "disagris", not "disagree" Annie Lennox just says it a little differently, but they both rhyme.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ah, thanks for reminding me that this movie gem exists. I'll just go to bed and stare at the ceiling for eight hours now.

[–] skoell13@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What's the name of the movie?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] toynbee@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You guys talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl, my girl?

Because, you see, I've got so much honey the bees envy me.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

One of my favorite songs for karaoke.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ate gravel and rocks.
And the seven cheese.

Everybody's looking for Sasquatch

[–] protist@retrofed.com 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Why did it have to end like that?!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Because the writer and/or director was a sick son of a bitch 🤷🏻

don’t worry they made a sequel

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Yep - ended up that he actually pulled through and went to live with his biological mom and touched the lives of many. It’s called “The Good Son,” and it’s a heartwarming foil to the very sad ending of My Girl.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

I thought that was end of the Home Alone trilogy, where Kevin didn’t get any help for his abandonment issues but with Harry and Marc locked up for good sought other targets for his sadism.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@quokk.au 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also, if you are looking for a good foreign film about family I suggest visitor Q

it is about a family that is on the brink of falling apart, until a mysterious stranger enters their lives, befriends them, and reunites them in the end.

[–] HeyMrDeadMan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I suspect you are lying as well.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@quokk.au 1 points 2 days ago

everything I say in this comment is the truth

[–] HeyMrDeadMan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

You sonofa bitch. You almost got me. You almost got me...

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

You're a fantastic individual.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Which was utter shit

I didn’t even pay for it and I want my money back

[–] protist@retrofed.com 5 points 2 days ago

Now with more bees!

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

A briefcase full of bees ought to put a stop to this!

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 2 days ago
[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago
