'Carrie'

Sissy Spacek is dangerously attractive in that in two of her more seductive films -- Carrie and Badlands -- she plays a set of teenagers.

The rub being Spacek was well into her 20s when she made both films and despite her very girlish face and skin, all of her features are that of a 20-year-old woman. Therefore, men lust. Over a 20 year old playing a 15 year old. Does that make me a pedophile. Doesn't anyone else see my point here?

Here's my helpful hint toward being high school: Don't fuck with anyone. For good or for bad. Don't pick on kids, don't fight, don't get stressed, don't get revenge. And don't try to help people.

There couldn't be a more ephemeral time in one's life than the four years you go in high school and there's not another four years that will royally fuck you up. I doesn't mean anything and, yet, for that time, nothing could be mean more.

Just imagine having to telekinetically drive a handful of knives into your mother. Now that'll force you to seek out therapy.
