Idk how to say this in way that doesn't sound insulting, but movies push my ability to suspend disbelief when they have hot young things fall in love with 50-60s Jimmy Stewart

#like if all the girls in the movie are somehow into silver foxes that's pushing it kind of but I'll go along with it #but just liking silver foxes isn't going to make Jimmy Stewart work #and like when he was young sure whatever #I still see plenty of women mooning over young Jimmy Stewart NOW #but like #middle aged and on Jimmy Stewart is your dad #your cool uncle at best #an attractive 20-something gal is NOT going to fall in love with him #this is all because it's the second time I've watched Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak paired #and I still feel like the heroine's interest might make sense with some other guy much older than her-- but not with Stewart #like they throw a 20-something at Cary Grant and I'm like ethically I'm against how normally this is being treated but it works ok #and then like Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief feels like she has enough daddy issues that of course she's into him #meanwhile Stewart shows up at the door in Vertigo and it's like your father's sad friend is here #no old man thirst in the world is powerful enough to jump that “hiya pops!” energy #watch me immediately be contradicted by somebody on this site who hasn't hit 30 yet and still dreams of jumping Stewart's avuncular bones
