I think they would definitely show Olaf drunk.. these books are meant to be scary. Think what you would do if you were Violet, Klaus, or Sunny, or if Olaf or an assistant was waiting for you in the dark to take you away? I would try to make it scary, but not like a scary movie. More like unfortunate/scary. Also, if they didn't, it would take away so much from the movie.

Not to deviate from the present discussion, but olaf's bad breath is largely because of his floss philosophy...Floss is useless, unless you're strangling someone with a really weak neck.

Bad enough in itself, but his other hygiene habits are just as digusting ... remember the curtains in his room at Uncle Monty's house?

Unfortunately, yes.

By the way, the next book will definitely be called "The Xylophone Xerophyte" ;D

Why would a children's book have to refrain from saying that someone was drunk? Even those of you who "aren't exactly adults" know that drunkenness exists. It's not something parents try to prevent their children from knowing, so I don't see any reason it shouldn't be in a book for this age group. Not to mention that several of Olaf's theatre troupe were already drunk in TBB.

I don't think the Valley of Four Drafts was a bad V.F.D. headquarters. Didn't Lemony say in TSS that Beatrice, himself, and some others were there? Unless it was before the schism. But I doubt that the bad members of V.F.D. (TWWHBNB and TMWABBNH) would burn down their own headquarters.
