The Bridge to Terabithia

Calvin: Stunk!

Nevin: The movie stunk!

Calvin: He never even got to defeat the Dark Master.

Me: Well, he couldn’t Calvin.

Calvin: Why not?

Me: Because the Dark Master was death.

Calvin: So? What about Harry Potter? “The last enemy to be destroyed is death.”

Me: But in Harry Potter they never beat death. The whole point was to admit that they couldn’t yet?

Calvin: But he will be defeated eventually! Why not show that?

Me: Because then the story would have to be about the end of the world.

Calvin: But the story was pointless! It gets an F.

Nevin: Yes! An F-F-F…. (begins singing and dancing as he says the letter grade for the movie over and over.)
