Most people I've talked haven't liked the book much. I mean, if you're writing a thriller and it takes that long to become interesting, you need a new fuck*ng editor. I'm not lazy or impatient when it comes to books, but when you're writing a thriller, unless you're establishing some awesome atmosphere or you write amazing dialogue, don't fuck around for more than a few pages.

Quoted for fuck*ng truth.

This makes me wonder, since the books were published after the authors death maybe there wasn't a complete editing process on the book or books.  Seeing the film made me want to read the next books in the series, but not read the first one.  That the film didn't leave me with a feeling that I hadn't gotten the whole story is a unique thing in and of it self.

That doesn't seem like much of an excuse. What's easier than editing a book without the author around to argue about it?

I liked the book that most people didn't seem to like (from the beginning).

I finally saw Some Like it Hot tonight, and thought that it was distinctly mediocre.  I find it baffling that it appears on so many lists of greatest films.  The one saving grace of it, and it went a long way towards salvaging it at all, is the sheer presence of Monroe.  I only really understood in a sort of second-hand way that she was a major sex symbol, but until you actually see her melting the cameras you don't really realise what a breathtakingly horny presence she was.

It's no Seven Year Itch. She's a fuck*ng bomb in that. I don't mean to slag on the poor girl, but anyone who sees that and still finds the Kate Moss waif look appealing . . . no. You're doing it wrong. That movie makes me happy to be married to a woman with serious curves.

If you're not married to a woman with serious curves (or if you're not a woman with serious curves your ownself) . . . well, I can't help you. You're fucked.

i agree with you, but im glad that no matter what lady-shape grabs a persons attention, there are a variety of them out there to admire and interact with.

You have a good point. Sometimes I am too inside my own head.

[wombat]

Maybe that is because inside Nabu's head is such a good place to be.

There are lots of interesting people here to talk to.

I recently watched "The Thin Man" (1934), w/ William Powell and Myrna Loy, and was positively charmed out of my ##### by it. All that you need to know about it is "married detective couple solves crimes with zing and zest (also alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol)!" (and if this premise sounds tiresome, there's always the fact that - for all I know - this was the movie to use it, or at least use it so well).

All evidence to the contrary I'm not a sourpuss, however it is a rare occurrence when the funny in my head is sufficiently strong to make me shake the ol' ribcage. I mostly smirk. But this line here had me waking the neighbors:

. And believe me, it's not half as funny if you can't see Mr. Powell's delivery.

A word to the wise: Drinking games along the lines of "I'll down one whenever Nick or Nora Charles have one" will get you fucked up real fast.

FYI - the first sequel is still very good, but after that the series goes downhill fast. Nick and Nora have a kid – ugh.

[dejavroom]

Yeah, I think I'll just catch the second (I read about the teetotaler thing as well... now that is sad.)

I just saw Horrible Bosses, and it was so bad.  Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx and Jason Bateman are all actors I've enjoyed in other things, but this movie?  Steaming pile of shit.

thats exactly what i expected of that movie.

What about Bridesmaids? I've heard mixed reviews, including gushing from a guy I don't trust and panning from someone I do (except she didn't like Hangover, so hm).
