Those siamese cats will need a rewrite

Isn't that from Lady and the Tramp? I think they did change those characters when they made the live action one.

Nah they mean the ones playing the piano with chopticks i think. They went pretty hard on chinese stereotypes.

I've seen Yo-Yo Ma at a concert and he actually plays his funny guitar with a kind of large chopstick

Not to be confused with Yo Ma-Ma

I believe "They are Siamese if you please"

I liked Breakfast at Tiffany’s as a kid and I remember being 10 or 11 and realizing Mr. Yunioshi was fucked up. And then a few years later, realizing Holly Golightly is a prostitute involved with the mafia.

Parenting seems hard. I think my mom was like, “Whatever. An old Audrey Hepburn movie. It’s probably like My Fair Lady.” Nope!

I’ve never seen it because I was “not like the other girls” as a kid, but holy shit. I’ve seen clips of the yellow face, but I’ve never heard anything about prostitution or the mafia. I had several friends who got really into it in middle and high school, including one whose Facebook last name she changed to golightly, so I don’t think your mom was alone in that thinking.

Now I kind of want to watch it with adult eyes, is it worth it?
