• Memetic Mutation: Hoo boy. Pretty much the grandma of all memes that don't come from 4chan. Gave the internet the phrase: "You're the man now, dog." and spawned the website YTMND.
• Narm: The infamous "Punch the keys for God's sake! Yes, yes! You're the man now, dog!" It's even weirder in context.
• Narm Charm: For some.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: A Black inner city teenager befriends a famous elderly reclusive author. The concept sets the story up for rich drama, complex characters, and compelling developments. There are a million things the story could have explored. It didn't. Neither of the characters grew, or learned anything from each other, or changed in any way, or even had any meaningful conversations. Regarding the necessary theme of racism, the only thing the story did was show us that some people will assume Black people are dumb and those people are bad. Thanks a lot. People interested in that kind of film already knew that, thank you very much, and would have liked to see the more complex aspects of racism addressed at least a little bit.
