I still haven't seen this movie.......

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2005)

but I'm from Odessa. I haven't seen it yet because I went to Odessa High, not the other school and I don't really appreciate the way they make it seem as if there is only one high school in Odessa. But just so everyone knows, there are THREE high schools in Odessa (only 2 at the time the book was written). I guess I'm just being stubborn about the movie and not wanting to betray my heritage, ha ha.
But from what I've read, I don't really like the way they portray Odessa. I know it's not the best place in the world. But we aren't all dirt poor redneck racists. It's just kind of annoying to hear things like "oh that sucks" or "I feel sorry for you" when people hear that you're from Odessa.
