Totally unrealistic film

I just saw "Lars and the Real Girl". (Darn, why can't I italicize on a Mac?) I have some issues with the film.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

So at the end, when Lars decides that Bianca has died, the church congregation graciously holds a funeral for her. While this is very nice and all (and how did Lars manage to avoid any major ass-kicking that ignorant-small-town-men always seem to do in movies taking place in Middle America?), who the HELL would have paid for a sex doll's casket and funeral and burial?! Coffins are, like, really expensive! And nobody in that town appeared to be particularly rich, certainly not Gus and Karin who were expecting a child...

I must give credit to the person who decided that (1) there was no birthing scene even though Karin was pregnant during the entire film and that (2) nobody suggested that Gus and Karin name their child (who was probably going to be a daughter since they had a "pink room") after Bianca, the anatomically correct sex doll that stole the community's heart.

But yeah. Coffins are expensive. (Gravestones, too.)

Happy birthday!

My dad would've turned 55 today. I sort of want to use that excuse to buy Fudgie the Whale (which was totally my obsession, pre-Office shout-out) and eat the whole thing tonight... but I'm being good and attempting to live healthily so that I can outlive the Wicked Stepmother.

Happy birthday, Dad!
