Oh! This reminds me that I was just gossiping with Teppy about this. Susan Sontag and Annie Leibovitz just broke up. I didn't even know they were lovers! Reported in the local paper.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
OK, that doesn't surprise me - not the breakup part, which would suck because I am a huge sentimental sappy romantic and like couples (especially where at least one of the partners is a strong woman) to stay together, but the lovers part. I can see them together.
I love Bull Durham; brilliant flick. But I don't think Sontag's novels are crap, because how could I, whenI haven't read them? Talking to her while young killed the early desire to read her stuff; she was very flip and New York and that's very tooth-grindy. Should I try her now, after a passage of years? Opinions?

Deb, I adore you more and more every day. That's my favorite movie.

Thing is, she saw the movie and really liked it and got sucker punched by that line. Really hurt her feelings.
Curiously, in the original script he says Thomas Pynchon's novels are pretentious crap, which is a much less defensible position.

I suppose Bret Easton Ellis doesn't pre-date the movie? Damn. Because he would be perfect.

David, I can't believe she'd have taken that seriously. hell, the character starts that speech with "I believe Lee harvey Oswald acted alone!"
But Shelton should have warned her, definitely.

Snerkity snerk. If I hadn't tagged my shrink just today, I'd tag this.

Eh, it'd sting. Susan Sarandon's character does defend Sontag later at the batting cages.
