…Another classic moment that the movie failed to deliver:

OK. I can understand if you find the book distasteful, mysoginistic, witless, or - simply put - bad writing. We're all aware of the shitstorm that this book's publication caused. But BORING??? Yes, I will admit that there are many valid reasons that one could find this book to be "bad", but never dull.

Preparation Heche, that made me laugh so hard that I'll be cleaning the crumbs off my keyboard for days! Well done, sir (or madam?).
