Oh yeah, I want to cry, LOL when I think that instead of that 
wonderful supporting family fol;ks who will see the movie will think 
that Will has bullies brothers and emotionally cold parents. 
Stantons, emotionally cold. Grrrrrrr

And is it confirmed that Max will be a traitor in the movie, or was 
it a bad joke? ( Somehow I think it is true, sigh)
