Yes – but, again, not in _IWTV._

In the book Claudia is six years old, not 12.

Today I watched _Cool Hand Luke_, which is a prison movie. Featuring lots of prisoners.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners lounging on their bunks.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners working on the chain gang.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners boxing and wrestling in the dirt.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners sharing a group shower.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners who have a failure to communicate.  
Shirtless, sweaty prisoners eating 50 eggs.

BTW: That was a young Kirsten Dunst in the role. Not many people remember that.

I wasn’t thinking of Claudia. She wasn’t of any sexual interest. I was thinking of some of her other characters, the irresistible Mona of the witch books, for instance. She was 13 I believe. Some of the boys soon-to-become-vampires have been pretty young too.

I’ve never forgiven her playing Claudia.

By all means, I’ll bring my copy of Spider Man (that’s enough to put anyone out of action).

Right before the duel starts, shout “BRING IT ON!” You’re guaranteed to win.
