Ok, maybe not a Rant per se, as it is an observation.
I call it the Superman Returns casting error, even though it predates that movie by years.
In Superman Returns, we find out that Lois has had a kid, and even if you don't go by the actresses age, she still looks like she would have been 12 years old when she and Supes hooked up.
Now this last year, my wife has been watching a show, called Fairly Legal, and while it's not a bad show, the main Character, she has went to law school, spent 5-10 years as a lawyer, quit, and is now a negotiator for her dead fathers firm. Mind you during this time, she has been married, divorced, and has the wisdom to remain well adjusted in her dealings with her ex husband, a local DA.
All this, and she looks like she just got out of diapers.
One of the earliest cases of this, is going back to one of my favorite shows of all time, the Six Million Dollar Man.
In the chronology of the series, it shows that Steve And Jamie shared a kiss at his High school prom, which is really disturbing, because later episodes would make Jamie 9 years old.
under 1958.
http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/ChronologyDoes Hollywood ever consider these things? I can suspend belief for the most part, but given the rapidity of sex on tv, and the younger our kids are noticing these things, are we sure that we are putting our own Enjoyment of eye candy, ahead of realistic goals for our kids youth?
It's almost like the Barbie Doll situation of years past, where young women tried to get her measurements, which would be all bu impossible.
am I wrong here, that such things disturb me?
