You’ve maybe heard of her father, Eric, and almost definitely have heard of her aunt, Julia, though.

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, I think most people will probably miss my attempts to correct the error. Ah, well. Having strangers think less of me online for mistaken reasons is still better treatment than most teachers put up with.

I’ve got it! A “genre slash-up”!

I’m not sure. I’ve kind of lost touch with vampire fiction in the last several years. It wouldn’t be Shadow & Bone, would it?

Going to an alternate, Buffy-less universe is a great way to skirt around Sarah Michelle’s Gellar absense. No need to recast or anything.

I also had this same thought.

I was just barely asking this same question on Letterboxd (along with wondering what this sub-genre of high concept slasher mashups should be called).

Maybe they could do a movie Barbara Handler, now a real woman in the modern world, attempts to place herself into the role of Mattel CEO, only to get predictable pushback from the (still male) CEO and board of directors currently in place.

And then there’s also Stakeland, which is literally a post-apocalyptic vampire movie.

That is precisely the metric I was trying to apply to Deep Blue Sea, so I’d say it counts.

“the people they need to attract and retain not run off (sic) are the ones that seem to leave.” I was trying to call attention to how this part of their comment applies to teachers, too. Far too many talented, excellent teachers leave the profession due to burnout.

None, and only now do I realize how my comment communicated the opposite of what I was trying to say. I was trying to call attention to the “the people they need to attract and retain not run off (sic) are the ones that seem to leave” part of their comment. Being married to a teacher, I’ve seen far too many of my…

I’m only now realizing how poorly construed my response was.

You are right about teachers being shat on. My wife is a teacher, and some of the ways parents have communicated with her have... sigh.

It’s not ‘til I re-read the comment I was responding to that I realized how I could be misconstrued. I was referring to the “the people they need to attract and retain not run off are the ones that seem to leave” part of their comment.

So exactly like the teaching profession, basically.

Can I get an “Ayuh”?

Oh, yeah? Is that one good? You’re right, I did give that one a miss.

Doesn’t help that Renny Harlin’s last “good” (okay, okay, entertaining fun, if not actually great) movie was Deep Blue Sea, over twenty years ago. Even before that, he’s always been hit-or-miss in terms of quality.

Yep. As soon as it was announced for a July release, I was thinking “it’s probably so it could be on Disney+ by October.” Didn’t even think of how that screws the actors out of profits. Totally diabolical of the Mouse House (as usual).
