    oh, I did Streetcar last year. And today in eng lit (last period on a friday. Guess how much we get done) we watched a (totally and utterly legal, honest) Simpsons episode where Marge is in Streetcar. Good stuff.

    [RANT]It's just boring.
    This is the bloke who wrote three pages on the noise the wind makes when it blows through harebells. THREE! thats 3, yes, you read it right, iii. Shouldn't be allowed. Think of the trees!
    He is trying too hard to write the epitome of a tragic novel and in doing so fails to make it a) believable, b) interesting and c) ...tragic
    He should just stick to poetry.[\RANT]

    I just typed that out twice. The computer crashed on me :mad:
