I was amused at Himself's movie about nuns. The fact that he is using nuns and violence to talk about AA and the very things we discussed in class: trading in one addiction for another one (cigarettes, coffee, AA meetings, God).
Also, the young new nun is disfigured, and addicted. This all made me think of Joelle's experience at AA. This film would have been made before all this, but it still seems like it might connect.
The Blood Sister cartridge was totally hilarious. Some of the descriptions of the bad-ass nuns riding motorcycles, kicking people's asses, and having a generally feared reputation (but still having a heart of gold underneath that tough exterior that's willing to take a young punk girl under her wing). And then the twist, where we find out the nun WAS actually bad all along, and staging an underground drug ring. It was almost ridiculous enough to be an actual entertaining action/drama movie.
I remember reading somewhere about a (Japanese? maybe?) television program (cartoon?maybe?) featuring a badass nun that was thought to maybe have originated from Infinite Jest. But I've been looking online and can't find this fact anywhere, so I may be making this up! Or maybe it was something else. If not, though, I want to see this cartoon.
