Do you think that's a product of the material they were working from to start with Jess? I couldn't help but note as I read the novel that the style has a certain distance built into it, in the telling and I wondered if that was because of when the novel was written (1961) or if it was a technique that Yates employed because the story was so gut-wrenching he maybe felt the reader needed a bit of distance to be able to take it in. I couldn't help but wonder if he was writing the book today if he wouldn't go for a bit more visceral, intimate style of writing.

I haven't read the novel, so I couldn't say. All I know is I hated almost every second of it. It was like being hit repeatedly over the head by someone's thesis statement.
It's funny, because I just want to have sex with Kate Walsh after watching those ads.

Oh Bush. Even in your last press conference, you give me something ironic to mock. When talking to the press corps about his respect for them: "sometimes you misunderestimated me."
"sometimes you misunderestimated me."
Was it a genuine mistake, or a callback to the first time?
It didn't sound like he was trying to be witty. He did at other points, but not then that I could tell. Could be, I suppose. Made me laugh either way.
