Kurt Vonnegut shmoozes about respectful directors

BRUCE JAY FRIEDMAN SAID: "The writers we admire. Catcher In The Rye. Evelyn Waugh. We're not admiring the events of the novels so much. The events of Catcher In The Rye. I shouldn't use the word 'routine'. But they're not astonishing. It's the sensibility. It's the line-by-line sensibility. This is virtually impossible to transfer to the screen."

@redpaul79 I didn't know Charles Manson was a scorpio....it makes some kind of sense I guess. Smart, alluring, etc. he just ran the complete wrong way with it. Kurt Vonnegut is 11/11 (month/day), I'm 11/12. I'd like to identify with him much more. I've never read Terence Mckenna's work...

go for it :)

@breeeegs Thanks for that idea. I may check out some of his work sometime.

@redpaul79

I'd like to see you try.

[redpaul79]

@Jcolinsol you started to make some ridiculous point, then gave up halfway through? delete that nonsense or I'll do it for you

@redpaul79

Please don't compare Kurt Vonnegut to Terence McKenna... That's just... no.

at 2:00 Vonnegut totally reminds me of Terence Mckenna--they're both scorpios, like Charles Manson
