There go those hands again...

On the one hand: I had my tooth re-bonded, but this time I'm also going to shell out for the more permanent veneer to the sum total of 1500. Argh and ouch.

But on the other hand: I'm watching Hook, which is love, for the 1st and a half time (caught the latter part of it last night). Does anyone else watch this movie and have deep philosophical thoughts, or am I just strange like that? Like I could feel the stirrings of meta when Granny Wendy is at the top of the stairs and Peter's at the bottom and she says "Hello there, boy." Presuming that Hook is Peter Pan canon and not it's own thing (like unto the way the Wizard of Oz fandom happily mashes up all things Oz-related), then grown-up, 40-something-looking Peter is actually much older than 70/80-something Wendy. As are all the lost boys still in Neverland.

I love Hook. Ru-fi-o!

Hook rocks! :)

Yeah, but to Wendy, Peter is a boy! After all, when he chose to grow up, she was already a woman grown. (In Hook canon)

Aye, but he lived many a year as a boy. So just counting the years he was alive...he's at least Wendy's age if not older.

But he was always a "boy" - child, not a man :)

I'm not disputing that. I was really just focusing on years lived. Definitely 13-year-old Wendy was a lot more mature than however-many-years-old-physically Peter.
