Definitely the best part of Michael and Phenomenon. Ugh, how I hate that Eric Clapton song for giving me a resistance to the rest of his music for a decade.

Blow Out, Get Shorty, Look Who’s Talking Now.

Blowout was a revelation. Travolta is great in a role reminiscent of Hitchcock’s “Man Who Knew Too Much” style protagonists. Probably Depalma’s most successful Hitchcock homage.

The Germans were saying the same thing after WWI.

Yeah isnt it terrible that he thinks for himself and sometimes draws different conclusions than you. What your saying is that the right wingers would have been justified in their tactics if communism had been a larger threat.

This is what he does.

I’m sorry but you’re going to explain yourself on that one. Because you may have topped yourself in the outrageous hyperbole department.

Are you paying attention?

Then the woman should get a gun and blow his dick off. But she better plan well so she doesn’t get caught.

oh of-fucking-course you find that concept wonderful. Too bad the Twilight Zone isn’t a real place, you really need to visit that place someday to gain some perspective...

You’re not helping.

oh c’mon. If he had said the opposite he’d have just as many stars. You can’t have it both ways.

yet you replied to show just what a cool dude you are.

JJesus, try calming down. This is fiction, after all.

Did half the vampires get killed in infinty war too? But theyre already dead so how would that work?

Ill always mourn for the writer who wrote those 70s and 80s books, you onew exactly what year the book took place in at all times, IT of course being the granddaddy of them all in terms of evoking time amd place.. (the 1985 sections are really underrated in this aspect.)

Pity, I’ve always dug the schnoz.

Surely more like Moby and Michael Stipe, with the pretensions and all, no?

I liked some of the Boulder stuff too. I think I’m just anticipating the let down real early. I just finished the section where the army is unraveling and shooting civilians and each other, and I dread the hangover of all the “silence” in the backhalf of the novel, the emptied world. Also I’m not looking forward to…

yeah, Eddie Dean mentions The Shining when he first looks through one of the magic doors in THe Drawing of the Three. In the Outsider, a movie buff says that “Paths of Glory is one of Kubrick’s best, WAAAAY better than The Shining!”
