yes, it seems like i remember that too.Yes, very true. The original Rosemary's Baby is also pretty true to the book, if I remember correctly.

I haven't read the book in some years, but when I did read it I had seen the movie a number of times already. While reading the book I remember that I kept thinking, "Gee, this book reads almost like a script for the movie."yes, it seems like i remember that too.
It's definately not one of his best....I'm reading 77 Shadow Street by good old Dean Koontz. It's awful. (Sorry, Tim.)
The horror, the horror........Anyone remember back in the day when a video showing Rob Lowe having sex with an under age girl? Ruined his career (at least for a decade or so). Nowadays- starring in a home-made porn starts a huge lucrative career in Hollywood, just ask Kim Kar-trash-ian!Shooting Star - Robert Bloch
I bought a bunch of "Hard Case Crime" e-books a year or so ago with the "Daily Deal" and have read 4 or 5 of them so far. This one I'm reading now was written in 1958 and is entertaining as histroical perspective as well as being a good detective story. What is so funny about it (from a histroical perspective) is that the story is about a murdered Hollywood star who was found in his home along with some marijuana in his ashtray. The marijuana has caused quite a scandal and his movies have been pulled from TV because of it. So, not only is the detective trying to solve a murder but he is also trying to clear the actor's good name from the marijuana scandal. Oh, the horror of a Hollywood marijuana scandal.
That's funny ! Those rebels!Shooting Star - Robert Bloch

I've read that, and though I remember I really enjoyed it, I can't remember a thing about it. I do know I wanted to read more by Ami McKay after I read it, but it's been a while.The Birth House by Ami McKay. Great characters set in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland during the early 20th century.
Ha ha, oh the innocence of the 50s. If an actor doesn't die of a heroin overdose or auto erotic asphyixiation these days, the public just don't want to know.Shooting Star - Robert Bloch

I love the idea - loved the stand, loved the plot arc in Heroes of that nature (until the writers strike screwed it up), and "The Last Of Us" is the best video game I have ever played. I really should read more on it.And i'm always been a sucker for diseases that threaten humankind storylines..........
It gets better each time, trust me!I'm on my second DT journey. The first time I read it I was gobsmacked by someting I'd spent so many years ignoring. I'm enjoying it more this time as I'm taking in more details. I'm about 1\4 through Waste Lands. MAN OH MAN!
As I expected.It gets better each time, trust me!
