Literary Vs Cinematic Debater Prints

"Read the book!""See the movie!"

"That's five votes for In The Midst of Winter....three votes for The Hollow Ground....and, again, one vote for Moby-Dick."

"It's Dr. Sadie. Go ahead, caller." "Yeah, how come you haven't said 'Merry Christmas' yet?" "Oh, that’s because I was hoping to provoke everyone who’s upset about the so-called 'war on Christmas' to spend all their time on hold waiting to castigate me. That way, all the normal people who don’t think Christmas is just another chance to play the victim can open their gifts in peace." "You're welcome, America." "Why haven't you played 'Jingle Bells' yet?"

The revolution that hit Hollywood hardest:The Thinking Pictures."

"Yes, could you discuss the inspiration for the protagonist? Specifically, the motivations which propel the direction of his narrative?" "I would prefer not to." "Bartleby, the author."

"It's a great story, funny and entertaining - and better still it's not won a single prize for literature."

The book is so much better than the film..

The Last Jedi dvd is going to have fourteen deleted scenes! Horrible mistake. The confident creator releases his work to the world and says This is it. This is what I want to show you. He doesn't then show you all the stuff he might have put in the story. Did Prince release the deleted stanza from Little Red Corvette where he also compared her to a Ford Pinto? Wait ... Prince compared a sexy lady to a Ford Pinto? Who knows? That's my point. Aren't you glad you don't know what?

"Help! It's a sprawling epic!"

'Edward de Vere? -- give me a break!'

Anyone else think the movie was better? Book club bouncer.

"Oh, that Jane. I thought you were talking about Jane Austen."

'Does this book come with director commentary.'

'Then it's agreed. It doesn't have to rhyme.'

"It's what the people want. You run wild for a couple of hours and then - zap - you're back to normal."

I liked the book better than the movie, but not as much as the "Dateline." "20/20," or "Primetime Live" specials.

"Call me old-fashioned, but I felt much more at home with the Forsytes than I do with the Louds."

"I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I've always felt that a film examining the complex interactions between a man, his fast car, various cool weapons and a host of bad guys DEFINITELY qualifies as a 'relationship' movie!"

'Spinach: The Prequel'

"It's really the black whale I hate, but I didn't want to appear racist."

'This is because you disagree with my theory on existentialism?'

"Oh, no. Dude, are WE the bad guys?"

Yes, such a meeting of Mistress' friends can be very feisty and involve lots of arguing: it's called a "book club"...

This is the Ask Sadie Show. You're on, caller. What's your problem? Movie critics. "Batman V Superman" was a good film. But the critics tore it apart. A lot of the criticism was petty. Like this one critic who said "Henry Cavill is the sexiest log to ever star in a movie. And Zack Snyder isn't fit to direct traffic." Hey ... I call it like I see it. Did you see it? That's beside the point.

"I've got bad news and even worse news: The bad news is that your script is shallow, offensive garbage. The worse news is that we're offering you ten million for it, which will probably ruin you forever as a writer. Sorry I had to be the one to do this to

Mom's book club is discussing some author's defense of wild, passionate romance. I've been listening in. I can't decide if I'm fascinated

"I love closed caption. I can watch the movie but feel like I've read the book!"

NATO Theater: Now showing Ukraine, a snuff film, directed by Vlad Putin.
