Interestingly, I found myself feverishly thinking of that movie for the first time in a long time and how ridiculous their depiction of someone DYING OF CONSUMPTION is. I mean, she coughs a few flecks of blood and thats it?
This is Amanda, by the way. I'm just about back to the States, and it would be awesome to hang out when I come by Eugene this summer. My association with you has always bothered me because you're such an obviously awesome person but we never had too much of a chance to really hang out. I think my partner and you would have a lot in common--he started a Masters in Buddhist Studies, tries to keep up a meditation practice, is really interested in Zen and Thai forest tradition, etc. My life's been too fucked mentally for me to will myself to get into a habit, but all my experience with zazen has been very positive, and I prefer it vastly to, say, Vapassana. Hit me up at yayforcancer@gmail.com and/or I'll drop you a line when I'm in town.

I mean yea, at the end she should be violently spewing up blood. She'd be all kinds of pale and pathetic looking. But its an all ages flick.
