Notes on a Conversation about Billy Elliot

Spring [1] has been trying to get me to watch Billy Elliot [2] since we rented several days ago. My relunctance to watch it has a bit to do with my relunctance to see many movies (I do have to be forced to watch certain types of films and often times I end up liking the film but I digress) but it has more to do with the subject matter—someone who is hiding what they are doing from other people and the inevitable Embarrasing Scenes that I find way to painful to watch.

“But it's got a riot in it,” said Spring.

“Yea … ”

“It's got kicking down of door,” she replied.

“Woot!” [3]

“It's got judicious use of sledgehammers in it,” said Spring.

“Are you guys talking about Office Space? [4]” asked Rob. [5]
