I liked it a lot...wish I'd seen it Aimee. But Halle strikes me as having the wrong appeal for it. I like the way the man writes Nutty but you are so very Wrod.(don't forget the "bull dykes") But at least you're not wondering "Dude, what did your mama do to you?" Cause, duh. Alibelle, he is very talented but, well, frightening. I feel incredibly ambivalent about reading it/him.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. Ellroy's got an entertaining bebop shtick, that wears thin about as quickly as shtick tends to do. Personally, I think he thinks he is cooler than he actually is.
Okay, it's unfair to forget Renee's Bridget, considering how much crap she put up with about her weight.
True. I think I forgot this example because I thinks he looks soooo much better with a bit of meat on her bones and I am actually blocking out her skinny periods.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it's unfair to characterise forgetting as unfair.
But I'm with Nutty -- I think she looks best somewhere between weights, and I much prefer her Bridget size to the size she prefers. When Clooney/Crowe/Diesel gain fat, I've never heard anyone say "Oh, that's better! I hope they don't go back to looking like they did before!"

Not only cooler, but having answers They don't want to get around. I suppose the novel for me part is finding a writer one, instead of on the bus wearing a helmet.

I saw a fascinating documentary about James Ellroy a few years ago: James Ellroy's Feast of Death, I think. He's a pretty repugnant guy, but it did make me want to read more of his books. The documentary also had a lot of background on the Black Dahlia case. erika, you at least should search it out.

Of course, I don't doubt that I will. I don't really need to make small talk, right? You all knew the Black Dahlia was physically incapable of accepting penetration, right?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I didn't know that. How so? Cast-iron hymen? Built like Barbie?

She was congenitally unable to grow in that part of her.The theory is that she came on really hard to some sick fucker, thinking maybe she'd roll him but he caught on and got so enraged he carved her up. Damn, I am a classy bitch. The really SADDEST thing? That still doesn't narrow it down all that much. Mercy, mercy me.
