We're at a baseball game and it's another gorgeous day in Portland.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It bears repeat viewings.
That's why she owns it. So she's got very good taste.

“Not dead yet!”
MY* age had nothing to do with it; it may be infuriating to some people, but in WA schools were invested with some of the same responsibilities as day-care...they don't get to make any decisions that would normally fall to parents.
Which is exactly as it should be.
Any teacher or coach or superintendent that was part of THAT clusterfuck would be not only out of a job, but probably up on charges.
Also exactly as it should be.
Sadly, I'm not surprised at the willful stupidity of the coach, or even the superintendent.
The coach, no, definitely not surprised at the willful stupidity there, but OMG, the superintendent's arrogance is absolutely mind-boggling to me. Church member or no, if she's got a parent breathing fire down her neck, she should be full of deference and "We're so sorry, Mrs. Ammons, it was a grave mistake and the district most definitely doesn't approve."
Then again, I grew up in the heathen confines of Miami-- I was shocked when Lewis told me that they used to say the Lord's Prayer over the stadium loudspeakers before every football game when he was in high school. Public high school in Pensacola. Also Bible Belt-y. That sort of thing would have been absolutely unheard of in Miami.

I am SO Darwin Mayflower.
Edited to say: And, finishing my thought - YES, show her this film!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sunset Boulevard was FANTASTIC!
It's one of my favorite movies. Although I've only seen it the once. I mean, you've got to love a movie where the main character starts out dead.

Sean, that sounds like a very good talk. I really hope things work out the way you want them to.

The opening as originally scripted had Wm. Holden's character sit up in the morgue and start to tell his story to the other corpses who listen raptly.

I... don't see that as working quite as well as the way they did it in the final version.
