In today's world, she'd probably be Amanda "The Wall" Waller. Kickass character, don't get me wrong, but there's a reason for her nick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Grandpa....
That was back in Nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" because the Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty."
Hayden beat me to posting that quote.

I've never heard of her, but you're right, she could totally do that.
Isn't she some kind of superheroine in Taxi ? Can't she like control taxis with her mind or something? I mean, why else would anyone go see that movie?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Because she is awesome and all of her efforts should be supported.

Hey, wait! Does this mean you won't make me feel bad for liking Bringing Down the House ?

Interesting essay on Donnie Darko over at Roger Ebert's site, by his webmaster: [link]
The thesis is basically as described in this quote:
You can hardly blame Donnie for feeling that his life has become a cosmic joke, and that he is the butt. And the punchline is: He's sexually fixated on his older sister and can't admit it -- even to himself.
I've seen that movie about three times, and I've never gotten a sense Donnie was attracted to Elizabeth, even in the looking-at-linoleum sense. Anyone else?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
He had a sister?

Yes, played by his sister.
And his little dancing sister. I hope she's not the one he's supposed to be attracted to.
