Okay but I’m going to need you to explain what you mean.

Yes, please explain this one - this is one of my favorite movies, and hopefully the part about Daniel’s head doesn’t apply to your father.

All answers are fine, I guess, but I was taken with the joke about summarizing my take on my father–of course as expressed from a psych perspective.
ETA: and in typical persiflagilistic tradition, I was going only on the title, re-applied. I’ve never even seen that movie.
