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

Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I love Bull Durham; brilliant flick.
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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!

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.

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.
