Oof, that's a sobering realization.

This post is starting to make me think people say "strict" strictly as a euphemism.

What I think it means: The parents never bend the rules for their kids.

What it apparently means: The parents have anger problems.

Knowing is in the Biblical sense and comes after the entrance ceremonies!

I used to know a woman who would make up names like "North American yodel-hound" or "white-toed chipmunk dog" as the breed for her dogs.

I also think a collage of bumper stickers looks tacky. I wouldn't condemn it in such strong terms as you used, however.

“proven science”

Vaccines are a good example here. Handwashing is another. We've had empirical proof on the latter since the 1850s, but it's STILL super hit or miss whether people will bother :(

Yeah, that's true. Writing alone isn't enough for a good movie -- I'm really just saying that it's the most important element for me.

To me, not very important. Quality of writing ranks higher for me.

I don't think a different voice can fix a bad movie. That being said, I can't think of any actors whose voices I can't stand.

OTOH, Brotherhood of the Wolf does come to mind here. It's a French movie; I've watched both with subtitles and dubbed. The voice actor for the English dub doesn't quite fit the character.
