'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I really liked The Time Machine, but now have to hate the movie.Really? But -- oh, wait. You mean the 2002 version, right?
Poe really had a thing about being buried alive, as far as I can tell.It was a Victorian thing. There was basically a media-induced panic about it. Some people had bells strung down into their graves so that they could ring for help if they woke up in a coffin.
Michelle Yeoh. How cool is she? None cooler.
You mean the 2002 version, right?
Yeah. Though I haven't seen any other version, and I'm not sure about how you'd make a faithful movie of it. Ah, well.
Bless Michelle Yeoh.
Perkins, there are pics, and I might even get around to uploading them tomorrow morning.

You misspelled NOW!
I know a young woman who has the misfortune to have contracted genital herpes.
She is on a daily regimen of Valtrex to prevent symptoms from manifesting themselves.
Recently she took her prescription to a pharmacist who was apparently a fundamentalist Christian.
Not only did he refuse to fill the prescription, but he tore it up and handed it back to her, saying, "God is punishing you for your sin."
I am not Michelle Yeoh. Why not?
That story about the guy who kills someone and started polishing his fingerprints off things obsessively is a Ray Bradbury short story. There's another story, also about a cat in an enclosed space, which is the shortest short story Ambrose Bierce wrote. It's about a half-closed casket at a funeral, and all the mourners lined up nice, and out of the close dhalf of the casket, the cat emerges licking its lips in satisfied fashion.
Just that nasty jolt, no real characters or arc or anything. I think a lot of short stories stay famous in order to prove to seventh graders that the past was not all bonnets and CBS movie. If your main exposure to the 19th century is earnest novels about the Civil War and Little House on the Prairie, then Poe, Jack London, and Ambrose Bierce are rather the wake-up call.
Also, they appeal to the gothy tendency among middle-schoolers. Certainly, I cottoned to London a lot more easily than I did to Mark Twain, because it wasn't till I was an adult that I could read past the surface-level funny.
HERB TEA! you idjuts. I mistyped.
The story tommyrot linked to - is my fear of this right to refuse. The only time a pharmasit should be questioning things is when the perscription is way beyond the norm or if there are conflicts with other medications.
