Dreams with Sharp Sticks up their Butts

[pasithea]

Ugh. Opening this weekend is Dreams with Sharp Teeth, a film about and starring the world's most self-important writer, Harlan Ellison. Here. Have a trailer. It's only slightly less painful than the chihuahua movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmfzKKM49uY

In high school I had a really good relationship with my English teacher. We read Repent Harlequin said the Ticktockman in class. I raised my hand and asked the teacher with perfect seriousness "This author is really up his own butt, isn't he?" I don't recall if laughter ensured.

It was a great short story, but I think I totally tuned into the Ellison douche bag vibe somehow through that text.

After watching the preview, I actually kinda want to see this. I mean, he is self important, but he is also a good writer, you know? Once he's dead we'll all remember him fondly, "What a character that Harlan Ellison was! They don't make two like that."

I could not have phrased it better, myself.
