We always kinda forget that Breitbart has an entertainment section, because the only thing that ever goes on in it is culture scolding or promoting those terrible Christian movies no one will ever see, but today they weighed in on Shirley Temple's death so we thought we'd go over and LOL at it. We were not disappointed. Well, we were disappointed in that it is stupid and terrible, but we were not disappointed in that it met our expectations for stupidly terrible Breitbartian things, so yay us, maybe?
I know very little about the folkways of Facebook. I do have an account, but I only log into it every month or so, and I only do that because I have a couple of relatives who have decided that FB is the only way they are ever going to communicate.
Nevertheless, even I can figure out what this situation means, as (obviously) can you. Your question isn&#039;t really &quot;what does this mean?&quot;, but &quot;any ideas how I should handle this?&quot;. Being 66, and pretty much post-relationship and get-off-my-lawn, my first suggestion would simply to be frank. After all, the reality must actually be apparent to <i>him</i>; he&#039;s just in denial.
As an alternative, persuade someone else to give him the news. They can mention it to you, also, so if you have to discuss the matter, you can cite the bad-news-deliverer. Acknowledging bad news is less stressful than supplying it.
I hadn&#039;t thought about this particular aspect, but I&#039;m 66 and I&#039;ve never watched an entire Shirley Temple movie. Why the fuck would I? They were dated by the time I was in my teens.
When I was a kid, nobody my age gave a rat&#039;s ass about Shirley Temple. When I got older, I suppose a few of my contemporaries developed an interest. I became rather taken with the Marx Brothers, but there&#039;s no accounting for taste.
But fuck, she was a little happy-happy-joy-joy thing during the Depression. In later life, a not-particularly-evil Republican minor celebritician. Invoking her as a symbol of anything is just stupid.
In her career Shirley Temple made 3.2 million and most of that was wasted by others. Her movies made 32 million for Fox Studios. Charlie Chaplin made $100,000 a week in the silent era. Even a female child actor gets ripped off.
<i>&ldquo;My sadness is that we are probably today more race and difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school.

Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody doesn&rsquo;t look at you right, somebody says something. Everybody is sensitive.

No sexualizing children in the 30s? Try the Baby Burlesks - Miss Temple&#039;s first films.

Wut?
I&#039;ve never seen a movie in Venice Beach, and my cultural background is Wisconsin, but I think I understand your point.
There are outliers. Some of us lost ours in the 60&#039;s.

Wow . . . that&#039;s taking passive-aggressive to a whole new level.
Mr. and Mrs. Black should have been ashamed of themselves.
