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.

BWAH! Love you back.

"I believe the novels of Brett Eastin Ellis are less than zero!"

Ooooh - Tom Clancy!

"I believe the novels of Brett Eastin Ellis are less than zero!"

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

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!"

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

Definitely Shelton should have warned her, even if it was never meant to be more than a nice little sexual tension point between Sarandan and Costner's characters. That's just rude.

If was less of a movie, I doubt it would have mattered. But the damned film is just so good all the way through.....

I can't imagine him writing "Thomas Pynchon" in there, though (yes, I know, tangent woman over here). Crash Davis is exactly the kind of man to keep a tattered copy of "Gravity's Rainbow" in his locker.
