Hi. Re: the movie "Slingblade";

I hate passive women too.
Call the exterminator.

(The good thing about offending passives
is you don't get much response.)

What about passive men?
Maybe we just hate passive "people."
(And aggressive men?)
(Getting angry yet?)

I appreciated the fact that the movie only insinuated the, well, hair splitting,
and even resisted the usual visual
"Gee do you get it" substitutes,
like beet juice squirting the curtains.

I think it would have been nice if he'd been
wearing a Brave's baseball jacket at the time.
Or if the bad guy's behavior had been explained,
at precisely that moment,
by a purple Barney squeak-toy
popping out of his cranium.

But what DID piss me off about the movie,
was the wholesale quantities of passive taters.

Who's our favorite strong women?
(MJ liked the woman in ~ Terminator,
I think it was. Forgot her name.
The only part I saw was a preview,
of her one-handed "chambering"? of a shotgun,
and I LIKED IT ~
and ran back to the kitchen.)

Uh-oh.
Back to my den-cozy.
See you Groundhog Day.
(Bring my shades.)
-Phil
