@20th_Centurygal My aunt with cerebral palsy gave this to me as a kid. She knew I liked rock but she didn't understand the first thing about it. Elvis was more her speed. A record store employee suggested this to her. It changed everything. I still have it. I've actually framed it.
@mtaibbi Leave it to the NYT to shit on literally every holiday, celebration and tradition that this country has known. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Father's Day. Oh, and there will be a shitting on America article on or just before the 4th. You can put that in the bank.
@JumbleStil63602@TheStingisBack It's a long read, but it's worth it. I don't know how Umberto Eco could imagine this world so thoroughly. You will read a bit and then have to put it down just to think for a bit. He will take pages much like Tolkien to describe a single room.
@TheStingisBack Much of the important dialogue survived the book to movie translation. The liberties taken with Salvatore worked on film. Brother Berenger also had many liberties. Salvatore was a world traveler in the book. Brother Berenger was an articulate person with much dialogue.
@TheStingisBack I love the film. What they were able to take from the book and make into a movie amazes me. I love the Umberto Eco book, but how they took certain things from that book and could condense it down to a who done it movie is a masterful stroke.
