Film Review - A Nightmare On Elm Street

Karl is a paper boy. Karl delivers his papers flawlessly every day. Karl's round encompasses Elm Street and Willow Drive.

One day, Karl is distracted from his endeavours by thoughts of a vaguely rude film he's seen the night before. Karl's only 11. It's easy to get distracted by things like that when you're 11. Karl absent-mindedly posts a copy of the Sun through the door of a house who ordinarily receive the Financial Times.

Unable to retrieve the paper and now bearing one copy of the Sun too few, Karl attempts to make the best of things by reapportioning the newspapers in such a way as that everyone will receive a newspaper of roughly the correct type, if not exactly the right paper.

With a Sun too few and an FT too many, he attempts to deliver a marginally higher-brow newspaper to everyone, thus breaking down the disparity between all of the houses, rather than inflicting a clearly inappropriate newspaper on just the one customer.

Having to think on his feet and in a state of mild panic, Karl clearly fails. He has A Nightmare On Elm Street.
