Title: Well played, Sir. Well played.
Post by: Flangepart on December 29, 2014, 09:39:35 AM
Ever find a piece with a line or paragraph that you wish you could have written? I got on from today's Daily Bleat by James lileks, re: The third batman movie...

>It's a theme which continues into the third, which is just horrible in all respects, including a performance by Jim Carrey that must have had him picking drywall out of his stool for months afterwards, and a dismally miscast Tommy Lee Jones, who probably saw the movie again a few years ago, loaded up a sock with BBs, drove to his agent's house and beat him senseless.<

Soooo...anyone find a good line they'd like to share? After all...If we didn't like good writing, why would we be here?

Sid Ziff (incorrectly attributed to Dorothy Parker): "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."

I was never really a fan of Bob monkhouse, but I give him kudos for this:

"When I used to tell people I wanted to be a comedian they just laughed. Well they're not laughing any more."
