First Clip from Cronenberg’s COSMOPOLIS
One thing I wondered about while reading the book (which I thoroughly enjoyed) was how DeLillo’s style of dialogue would translate to film, and here we have an answer: not well. (Though whether that’s because the style is inherently awkward aloud or if Pattinson just isn’t selling it, I can’t say.)

Aaahh! Laugh-Out-Loud Cats homage to one of my favorite childhood books, Harold and the Purple Crayon.
I got to the part in Cosmopolis today where the name Nancy Babich appears. It sounded familiar but I couldn’t figure out why. Finally, a few minutes ago, I recalled this (at the time) inexplicable RT from two days ago when Sarah, Kathryn, and I were tweeting about it.
All this account does is reply to mentions of Cosmopolis with BANG. It’s both less strange and more strange once you know the reference.
First Book wants to give away 1 MILLION BOOKS TO KIDS IN NEED OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS. Here’s the catch: We want the world to know about the issue of illiteracy and how they can help us fight it. In support of our effort, we will give away a book for every “re-blog”, “retweet”, and “share” we get of this message on twitter, tumblr and facebook. Get to sharing.
