My daughter, a typical adolescent, has parts of her life which she tries to keep private from her parents. Anyway, this morning, she wanted to show me something on her "My Space" page so I got to see that she has herself listed as "Hannah Fucking Nicoll." All right. I thought about that for a minute and then said, "So, who do you think you are, anyway? Jack Fuckin Twist?"

That got a laugh.

LOL! You gave me another laugh too!

I remember reading something that said that the use of the word "fuck" generated an instant R rating. That was awhile ago. Then some movie came out, a teenage movie as I recall, and fuck was said once. There was a debate and eventually it was given a PG-13 rating. I wish I could remember what movie it was. Anyone?

OH I do Jo and I agree. I love living here  :) Have you ever been to Holland?

Yes - I number of times. Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities. It manages to be beautiful, mysterious and cozy all at the same time.

As far as the word "fuck" being an issue - why don't they just say f**k? Problem solved!

It's funny - I was just talking to someone who had recently seen BBM and told them about the storyline of the Saga. I also briefly mentioned all the kerfuffle it had stirred up. She immediately said "Well what if it were to be made into a film - that would really upset them." I said "A film?" She said "Yes. If someone who knew someone and gave them the story it could be a film."

Louise maybe she was channelling a message from the cosmos. Take note.

If someone was going to make a follow-on movie to BBM, what would be the choices?

1. A sequel, wherein Ennis never gets a life and lives in a trailer til he dies of lung cancer.
2. A prequel, maybe filling in bits and pieces of Jack and Ennis's life before the summer of 63. Maybe Jack has some sort of sexual experience and gets laid, but it wouldn't be with Ennis.
3. A fill-in-the blanks movie, graphically illustrating all the things we didn't see...3rd, 4th, 5th night in the tent, all those fishing trips...cue the porn director for this one.
4. The Laramie Saga

Which movie would you go to?
