Kiersey Clemons does a bit of spear-fishing in the 2019 survival horror Sweetheart…

You're probably too young to have been terrorised by regular TV showings of "On Golden Pond" with Henry & Jane Fonda and Kate Hepburn trying to express their emotions over fishing rods in a canoe.
Most of the fishing is Henry and grandson, but each of the women gets a little rod time.

Also Carole Lombard at the start of In Name Only iirc

An actual woman actually fishing is almost the entire premise of 1964 Howard Hawks sex-conflict comedy "Man's Favourite Sport" with Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss.
The other half of the gag is RockH has been pretending to be an expert fishing journalist for years

Implacable. As winter must follow Autumn, Paddington will be there as the late-afternoon sun finally slides beneath the horizon, and with it the last iota of warmth that yet animated you.

God, it really chills one to the core doesn't it. He is entirely unshakeable.

You open the door, of a sunny morning. There he is, gazing up at you, imperturbable. "No...," you stammer, "not..." "Yes," says the bear. You have 50 blinks left." He takes off his hat. You cry out in terror. You aren't ready! Please, Paddington! No use begging. His blade gleams. He eats a sandwich.

Being beloved will not save you from his unyielding grasp - au contraire. He is unblinking in his mission, to mow down all who ever claimed our love. Beware Paddington, his narrow eyes and withered paw. Once he has you in his sights your days are surely numbered.

Merciful and merciless at once is he, as he wields his scythe upon the great and good. Many dread his awful knock on their door, his flatly fatal voice... cold, so cold. Paddington will not fail to claim you.

A 30-year-old-woman with a mumsy haircut getting together with a man who is visibly 33 does not perfectly convey, to me, "a grande bourgeoise hooking up with a daredevil beatnik"

Good film - but it does slightly fuck with your perception of a drama in which, crucially, two middle-aged people in a broken couple are supposedly depicted getting together with younger people.

We're now at nearly 100 Palestinians killed in 2 days by the Israelis while waiting at food centers / for food trucks.
They are clearly gathering them in a few locations to make it easier to kill as many as they can.

Are you actually able to work out some way to believe in your own lie, or do you just expect us to believe it because we're stupid?

It's so old and unfashionable that it's become relevant again.

It's also got very, very obvious themes that are extremely difficult to miss which is useful for GCSE teaching (if intensely dull for all concerned at times)

That's quite depressing really isn't it

The boring answer is:
A) schools have class copies in the cupboard and no budget to buy sets of something else
2) there's loads of teaching materials available, and a touring play
iii) teachers know it back to front so they know how to teach it
d) the themes are obvious and it's not too long
