One for Sorrow

Yeah, it might have been more interesting for it to be figurative... Bruce being emotionally separated from the world is LIKE the separation suffered by the restless spirits the kid sees. And more satisfying, because there's an opportunity for him to change things, unlike those who are already dead?

The Village, omg. When we saw the movie, very_improbable and I agreed it sucked for that reason, and then talked a bit about how from a fanfic writer's perspective (ie, making sense of nonsense), you'd have to conclude that the ~Village Elders~ were acting that way to fool *themselves*, and that perhaps an interesting story could be written about why a group of people would do that. That, however, was not the totally uninteresting story MNS decided to make a film of.
