His book is a bestseller and he’s going on shitty podcasts talking about how the experience showed him who his true friends were. If only he actually were cancelled.

In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.

The TV version of John Carpenter’s THE THING had a lot of this. If memory serves, Keith David refers to the creature as a “monkey fellow” at some point.

Yes, people from Southern California, the region and the school, know. If he’d been playing just a little more recently there would have been more stories about it.

I saw it at 14 or so at an art theatre in Costa Mesa and the ‘sex’ part of that description definitely was a big part of the draw at the time. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve appreciated the rest of it even more

Also, this is in my personal top tier, a movie I rented from Blockbuster as an 11 year old & proceeded to watch dozens of times. My wife and I watch it at least once a year still. Everyone is perfect—well, Kingsley is something anyway—and play off each other beautifully. Great heists, great gadgets.
