I'm all tetchy about it, because I used to get approached by admiring acid heads at a record store my stuff hung at in those days... Oh shit, did I say my stuff hung at in a comment to Jordan?!

Why yes, Sam, you did. Do they still hang there, maybe just a little lower these days?

SRaffa In reply to parliamentFunk [2009-07-11 09:53:03 +0000 UTC]

Well, at least he only thieved his own ideas to get it done-- and yeah, not his finest couple of hours.

parliamentFunk In reply to SRaffa [2009-07-11 10:31:39 +0000 UTC]

Thieved his own, eh? Unlike Misery?

SRaffa In reply to parliamentFunk [2009-07-11 23:26:19 +0000 UTC]

Wait, no, that's not right-- translating a book (especially a King book) into the language of cinema is a seriously difficult thing to do-- I've never seen King do it well with one of his own books-- and Goldman's treatment of Misery is a textbook example of how to do it RIGHT-- I guarantee King would tell you the same thing...

You really think so?

A cat mauled a pigeon in our back garden while I was at school. My mum had to go out and scoop it into the trash using a spade, and then she had to sterilise it and burned part of our lawn...

I'm very sorry to hear that.
My own cat just looks with curiosity at birds; she doesn't seem remotely interested in bothering them... We won't talk about her relationship with mice, but still...

Since 2001-- the lovely and generous year of the snake; how was that year for you, my liege?

synconi In reply to SRaffa [2009-08-29 22:28:48 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad it was a generous year, that one.

I was eight, started a new school that year- went from being the eldest in my infant school to being one of the tiniest and youngest in the junior school...strange change of power that.

I was industrious-- I was making puppets, building puppet stages, and putting on puppet shows with neighbor kids-- I was the nonprofit PT Barnum...
