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

Now I'm left to wonder -- does Iceman (not that one, juliana) have control over other people's ice? I'd call Storm in, myself.

Something Something Winn Dixie?

Because of Winn-Dixie. I haven't seen the trailer yet, but the story, as written by Kate di Camillo, has NO talking dogs. It's a good story for intermediate readers, truly. But if there is a CGI talking dog, then Hollywood has fucked it up.

But half-nekkid men playing volleyball!

Sadly, though, one of those men was Tom Cruise.

It's not a talking dog. It's a smiling dog. A very inspirational smiling dog, and it made me want to throw up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'd just like to point out that Winn-Dixie is a supermarket chain in New Orleans. Or used to be.

The supermarket's in the story.

Oh, good. Otherwise, it'd just be weird.

I should have know there was a reason behind the run on Because of Winn Dixie at the library.

Yep, Dana. In the story, the girl, whose mom had died and whose pastor father moves her into a new town where she can't make any friends, is followed home from the Winn-Dixie by this dog who she then names Winn-Dixie.

A very inspirational smiling dog, and it made me want to throw up.

Hmmm... smiling is even a little bit much. Would it make you feel better, ita, to know that the dog dies in the end? Cause that's what happens.
