Lee Spratley

You ain't gonna catch me responding to comments to my tweets lol. Half the time I don't mean what I post anyways. I tweet to forget.

literature people seem to go out of their way to have bad taste in movies—I’m kind of impressed!

So none of you told me this is a deeply moving masterpiece and a great love story w/ genuinely indelible imagery and surprising overlapping dialogue à la Hawks?

You win some followers cuz you’re a hater, you lose some followers cuz you’re a hater. Some people just aren’t about that life, and that’s okay!

perhaps Chabrol’s supreme masterpiece

Yeah, there's something really off about the pacing of the revelation of character in this novel. Lee discarding the caricature so quickly is a particularly egregious example--Steinbeck deciding to make a point at the expense of mystery. He's not thinking like an artist.

I'm not having a particularly good time w/ Steinbeck's EAST OF EDEN, but Cathy is cracking me up, I must say.
