Creepy, disgusting, and unnecessary plot point (Spoiler)


Why was it necessary for him to make out with his own niece? There was no need for it and it was creepy as all hell. It was even worse that they left you thinking he had played tonsil hockey with his own daughter before you find out it was *just* his niece.

Agree!

I thought it was acceptable because if he would of stayed in Carlinville he probably would of had a child with that woman instead of the chick that cheats on him.

*would have
Anyway, I fail to see the connection. How exactly does this make making out with his niece acceptable?

Ok, heres a scenario. You walk into a bar. Your almost 50 years old. A hot 20 year old girl(who you never met) wants to make out. Are you really going to be thinking, "I cant do this, what if shes my niece that I never knew about?" No, your not.

Case closed.

*you're
I may not think so but I will definitely feel at least slightly uncomfortable if I realize I shoved my tongue down my niece's throat. As any normal man will in a similar situation.

And Hank was very uncomfortable that he wouldn't stop asking about the girl's paternity.

If you think that's bothersome, the girl's clueless father was just sitting there watching.

@tiger86-2 - that habit you have of correcting everyone's grammar before you reply to them is a bit tragic. It makes you seem like some middle-aged cat lady with some kind of worrying OCD. Apologies if that is really the case.

reply

I don't have such habit.

"I don't have such *a* habit."


That was such a perfect response to the grammar Nazi! I love it. And apparently along with OCD this tiger person also suffers from being in denial. How sad!😄

Too bad it came almost a year after my previous comment...

Perhaps because he read almost a year after your previous comment. But it's never too late. 😃

"If he had stayed"
At least correct it correctly, or you'll stand corrected. Correct?

reply

It's just meant to be an unnerving reminder of his irresponsible youth and how long he's been away from home (considering he has no idea if she could be his daughter and if it was, he clearly had no idea she existed).

Sure, it's a bit weird, but it's actually pretty tame compared to some of Robert Downey Sr.'s movies, hehe. 

completely gross and like the poster said unnecessary

reply

That was absolutley hot and awesome.

And very funny too...it would have been better though, if it was his daughter instead of his niece...

Hahaha!

Because things like that happens in real Life, like many other things in this Movie.
I'm so glad some in Hollywood finelly gets that and not just the ordernary Hollywood version that most people Think is true!

Hollywood often does have a strange way of making people forget what reality actually looks like (looking at you, Nolan). Then when a movie tries to show reality, audiences don't know how to recognize it.

On the bright side, at least Duvall was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Judge (not bad for a supposed flop).

A FLOP????

One of the best movies made in the last ten years, thank God I found It and saw it!

Absolutely, I agree. Of course all the people here who were constantly pointing out The Judge didn't make Avengers money (not the same type of movie at all) are nowhere to be seen once it gets a nomination. 

An Americun! This is why they make so many PG-13 movies nowadays.

reply

I consider it a cautionary tale when you live in a small town and continue to raise children their whole lives in the same small town, you probably shouldn't play around with paternity. Otherwise your kids will end up unintentionally dating their own cousins, half siblings, uncles/aunts, etc.

reply

My half brother (twice removed) agrees with that. Small towns - yikes! I don't think they could make a movie about it and have people follow it, at all.
