Hello America

Book Rating

I'm slowly trudging through all of Ballard's books, and I really wanted to like this one. It kind of just left me feeling sick at the end. It was amusing that the president was Charles Manson. The description of all of the weirdness of Las Vegas after 'civilization' left was haunting and completely creepy. I feel like the makers of Blade Runner 2049 read prior to writing the script. I knew it seemed familiar!

Book Favorite

"Perhaps the volume that influenced me most was called The Miracle of Life. I spent hours poring over the small print of those magical pages. It was not a book written for children, but I was absolutely absorbed as I learned about the diversity of life on earth, the age of the dinosaurs, evolution and Charles Darwin, the early explorers and naturalists — and the amazing variety and adaptations of the animals around the world."

Movie Favorite

"I love early Brian De Palma thrillers, and this is one of the best. Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt are great. What Psycho did for taking a shower this movie did for giving a birthday cake to your girlfriend. And where Charles Durning’s character ends up is hilarious."
