Theme Jar, Lessons Learned, etc.

An engaging and accurate account of our first meeting, D.S. I am brainstorming ideas for the theme jar and will doubtlessly arrive with dozens next week. I think it's worth pointing out that the "Dream Quest" scene in Young Guns, while hilarious, also functioned as an important turning point in the movie. Note that Billy the Kid, Doc, Charlie, Chavez, and Dirty Steve, despite not necessarily considering themselves to be "a tribe" or even "pals" prior to the Dream Quest, were fiercely bonded and loyal by the end of it. Note also that uppity, boring Charlie Sheen was the only young gun who abstained from taking the peyote, and he totally got smoked later that afternoon. I think we can all learn something from this: drugs are good for the group. Also, abused young outlaws will always go to great lengths to avenge the death of their molestor.

In honor of your profession, I purpose a books on film theme. Perhaps we would all have to read the book first too. One rule: fight club not allowed.
