But it's never as high-key and socially critical, and certainly hasn't been mythologised as much as the US Prom Night. The US school leavers seem to have such high expectations for it -- and as we know it always ends in death and disaster. Maybe we should be making horror movies about "Schoolies Week". Hands up all the Americans who know what THAT is! In Australian schools there is an End-of-Year-12 dance that I know the kids get all spivved up for.

Meanwhile, I've been thinking about this American thing called the Prom. I'm sure our view is distorted because our main source of information is Carrie and the like -- but maybe not that much. Good stuff.

It seems a good idea to me. Do you submit your reviews to the IMDB for listing? It seems a good idea to me.
