tattle

high school. the dimension of our youth that defies comprehension. a dry run for the rest of our lives, according to the writers who conceptualised Sue Sylvester.

 do high school movies set in golden America, the cornerstone of existence? that's another blog topic.  what are high school flicks and fluffs that left specific imprint in my adult life? another blog topic.

let's talk Easy A. Emma Stone is marvellous. i like her in Superbad, radiant and cool amid the insecure dudes.  i got a glimpse of The House Bunny,  where i tried to recall where i've seen her. oh yeah, Superbad. by the time Zombieland came out, i was like, oh yes Emma Stone.

three years after Superbad where she was a high school senior, here is miss Stone in another high school environment, breathing life and soul to a likeable teenage character, Olive Penderghast, enunciating witty one-liners full of big words for an adolescent. she not only triumphed over adversity via a webcast, we were hooked by her kindness to the bullied and the downtrodden.  her act could have spun more out of control.  but there's the handy internet to clear her name. very modern.
