My uncle was the opposite. He didn't see combat, but first he was stationed in the Aleutians and then in Panama, where he developed trenchfoot

I'm Miss Emmeline Reed, who keeps a boarding house in town with my friend Widow Harris. We try to stay respectable, but sometimes look the other way when women boarders have gentlemen friends, or the men play dice and drink. We really only stay afloat because my brother is sheriff.

I agree with you both in part. But I still think it isn’t as straightforward as that, because the movie is confused in its own mind about its POV

I'm not sure i would mind its conventionality if it could make up its mind about what her crime was, or if she had really committed one, which i don't think it ever does

This one can never decide what it wants to be. Both she and her husband are mistaken about why they got married. So first the movie is on her side, then it decides she's a neglectful slut, then she becomes a paragon of selflessness, then then then . . . It's an incoherent mess

They didn't have such things in my day. Once a customer entered the store, they were on their own. I worked hardware despite knowing nothing about it, reset displays, and spent one memorable shift individually repricing hundreds of plastic flowers

I worked in a fucking KMart for one miserable summer. (The power-mad assistant manager! The Muzak on an endless loop! The scary stockroom!) It made me determined never to have to do that again!

I spent five years in a miserably mismatched football-crazy office. They forced me to join the pools every year because just telling them i had no interest wasn't acceptable. I picked randomly to shut them up while they crowed about my losing record

This sign was at the Levis store at 6th and Lombard. My grandfather used to take me for hot dogs and Champ Cherry soda

In 1927 i'll have the chicken pie lunch, with green corn chowder and blackberry pie. Then in 1952 i want to come back for the smorgasbord, hoping it fulfills my Restaurant Felix fantasies

I'll have two stuffed peppers (aka chilis rellenos) with tortillas and a Coke. When victory is ours, I'll see what other additions they have to the menu
