Re: GG: Slaughterhouse 5
Hello Arin,
Many thanks for your long and amusing reply -- most informative. I won't
repeat it all here.
Was the film any good? It was better than OK -- quite entertaining, but
it suffers from too much Vonnegutismo. Even when I read the book before I
saw the film the first time (I used to read oceans of SF when I was
younger), I never could quite see the connection between the Dresden
bombing raid (which is almost glossed-over in the film, BTW) and the
planet Tralfamadore, or whatever it's called.
And, by cc to f-minor, my thanks also to other f-miners who replied.
However, despite all your best efforts the world is still no wiser as to
(a) the nature of the barrel-organ (?) music and (b) whether GG had a
thing for G&S and barbershop quartets. Any guesses?
