EXPLAINING THE JOKE FOR WHO DIDN'T GET IT: (movie spoilers)
::: spoiler spoiler
This is about the movie My Girl, which is about a hypocondriac girl and a boy (on the lower image) with tons of allergies, one of them being bees, who develop a friendship. At the movie, the girl drops her ring near a beehive, and the boy goes to look for it, only to get stung by bees and die due to his allergy.

Ah. I never saw this one, but the way people were talking about in this thread it reminded me that the movie Happiness exists, a film I couldn't fucking finish and makes me nauseous to think of to this day...
Yep - ended up that he actually pulled through and went to live with his biological mom and touched the lives of many. It’s called “The Good Son,” and it’s a heartwarming foil to the very sad ending of My Girl.
I thought that was end of the Home Alone trilogy, where Kevin didn’t get any help for his abandonment issues but with Harry and Marc locked up for good sought other targets for his sadism.
Also, if you are looking for a good foreign film about family I suggest visitor Q
it is about a family that is on the brink of falling apart, until a mysterious stranger enters their lives, befriends them, and reunites them in the end.
That's such a shame since neither word rhymes with the word "disagree."
Anyway, if what you say is true, Annie Lennox sure has a weird way of pronouncing the word "this." She pronounces it EXACTLY like the word "these." Art is weird.
I'm 60, and I have refused to watch My Girl to this day, because I learned how it ended back when it was released. Sometimes, spoilers are a good thing.

When I first watched it, that part was hard to watch
Did you lose your glasses too?
Wow, Wickerman will never hit the same way again after reading this...
Uhhhhhh.....
what did he say?
If I remember correctly they were asking if that was all to the plot (your spoiler). Modlog says he was banned, and this comment was collateral.
Wait, how did this manage to get him banned?
The modlogs says vote manipulation, I don't think this is related.
Hm, maybe.
Too soon
Ah, thanks for reminding me that this movie gem exists. I'll just go to bed and stare at the ceiling for eight hours now.
What's the name of the movie?
My Girl
You guys talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl, my girl?
Because, you see, I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
One of my favorite songs for karaoke.
Ate gravel and rocks.
And the seven cheese.
Everybody's looking for Sasquatch
Why did it have to end like that?!
Because the writer and/or director was a sick son of a bitch 🤷🏻
I shouldn't ask because I'm sure I don't want to know... which film?
My Girl

Fucking love Happiness. My Girl is family friendly, it just has a sad ending.
It's a cute love story between two kids and then MACAULAY CULKIN DIES. HOW DOES HE DIE? BEES! MANY, MANY BEES
don’t worry they made a sequel

I suspect you are lying as well.
everything I say in this comment is the truth
You're a fantastic individual.
You sonofa bitch. You almost got me. You almost got me...
Now with more bees!
Which was utter shit
I didn’t even pay for it and I want my money back
BUT HE CAN'T SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES!
A briefcase full of bees ought to put a stop to this!
I'd like to point out the actual lyric is 'made of this', not 'made of these' as most people hear it.
That's such a shame since neither word rhymes with the word "disagree."
Anyway, if what you say is true, Annie Lennox sure has a weird way of pronouncing the word "this." She pronounces it EXACTLY like the word "these." Art is weird.
Controversial opinion: Marilyn Manson's version is superior.
Also he says these.
She says more "theeeeeeis", there's a hint of an "is" sound at the end of the word.
I don't get it. It's meant to rhyme with "disagree", and it's not like the song is interpreted differently if it's "these" vs "this".
it's called a slant rhyme, and it is the playground of the devil.
See: "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane" for another famous example of two words rhyming that don't.
But "I am" and "hurricane" does rhyme
Is that meant to rhyme?
not even a little bit, but that didn't stop Lenny Kravitz.
So, funny enough the actual lyric is "disagris", not "disagree" Annie Lennox just says it a little differently, but they both rhyme.
Absolutely fantastic

I wish I could tell you that the rest of the movie is worth it, but it really isn't.
In fact, it's how great the preceding 99% of the movie is that makes the ending many times more devastating than it otherwise would be!
