Just a quick question for all yall,
At the first table scene, why is it such a big deal that Donnie says to Samantha that "you cant squeeze one out until the 8th grade". Was the director/writer trying to say that his other sister had that happen to her and aborted, therefore justifing her calling him a dick.
That is the only possibility I could think of because to me it didnt seem like that big of a deal. I thought of this because of things that weren't explained in the movie but rather in interview. (like Noah Wile's character eating hard candy because the character is Diabetic)
Thanks

Interesting, although it would appear more logical for Rose Darko to have aborted or mis-carried when she was younger, hence Elizabeth calling donnie a dick for being so insensitive. Then again it could be her, this is a wild theory though lol, but who can really say...

I don't think that there was any hidden meaning behind it... Rose didn't feel that it was proper dinner talk, especially to a child the age of Samantha...

I just don't think it was that taboo of Donnie to mention it around the dinner table. Elizabeth said that she wasn't going to squeeze one out until she was 30, therefore mentioning the topic, and Donnie just mad a smartass answer to Samantha's question. Grr, this is the only thing in the movie that I dont quite understand.

"pushing one out" in 8th grade is pretty early and Elizabeth mightve just had a problem with it

I don't know, but I thought it tied in well with the underlying themes of children treated as sex objects hidden under the picket fence charm of suburbia-
tying in with the whole dance team sexualizing children and the patrick swayze child porn.

The reason why he said it was him being sarcastic of how fucked up the world has become. That people are losing their morals and teenage girls are fucking around getting pregnant at a young age. And why Elizabeth had a problem with it is because that's not something you should say to a very young little girl.

Or you can think of it literally and find nothing at all wrong with Donnie's statement. Females start their menstration cycles around 13-14...right around the time of 8th grade. Thus Donnie is merely answering a question with a fact, as he is a smart individual, that is the time when samantha can first squeeze one out.
