Today's genre: Water Movies

Sphere. (Honestly, this movie, SUCKED, but the book, the book was awesome. You should read it.)


Norman Goodman: I would be happy if Jerry had no emotions whatsoever. Because the thing of it is once you go down that road... here's Jerry, an emotional being cooped up for 300 years with no one to talk to... none of the socialization, the emotional growth that comes from contact with other emotional beings...
Harry: So...?
Norman Goodman: What happens if Jerry gets mad? 


Next week: CHOOSE YOUR OWN QUOTE!

  3. Hello Heather! Thanks for hosting! Yeah Sphere the film did nothing for me. I saw a girl with a tee shirt on the other day that said, "The book was better."
    lol... need one of those! :)

  4. Yes, WRITE! Write what you are only brave enough to think, write what the secrets you have never told, write what breaks your heart. Happy to join the Group. :)

  5. I remember seeing Sphere on the Warner Brother's lot. Yeah. I didn't get it either. Maybe I should read the book. :)

  6. There is no better advice, for sure!

    Thanks for co-hosting this month and have a great holiday!

  7. Even the "not-so-much" films have their moments! You got that moment with the dialogue!

    Thanks for the post as co-host today. And your advice is perfect.

  8. I love quotes ...

    WRITE!
    Writers write.

  9. I need to find that treefort where I can hide out and write my stories. Then, invite all my friends over to act out the plays that I wrote, and have a picnic. Write. Simple advice. Like, eat less, exercise more. Not complicated in theory. Difficult in practice.
    Write on!

  10. It's amazing how all of it always boils down to the same message, which you so succinctly put.

    And I will have to check out the book because I’ve heard the same thing (sucky movie, good book) from way more than one person.

  11. WRITE! Wonderful advice.

    Thanks for co-hosting Heather.

  12. Write.
    A single word.
    This reinforces the theory that 'less is more'!

  13. Yeah, that's a good way to beat the blahs and the doubts.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ha! That ONE word has so much impact. So guess what I'm going to do since it is a rainy day :)

  15. Yes, always good advice, and Sphere was a bit odd, the movie. Books are always better - always!

  16. Write. That's the motivation I need today. Thanks!

  18. Excellent advice! It certainly solves a lot of problems.

  19. I think continuing to write is the only way to deal with all of our writing insecurities. :)

    Great IWSG post!

  20. One word is all you need! :) Have a great rest of the week.

  21. Short, sweet, and to the point!

    I've never heard of Sphere, but I do indeed like that quote :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. You get the award for the most succinct post! Hey, I noticed that you're a zombie genre fan. I just finished Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry, mostly because I just met the guy and wanted to read one of his books. It wasn't what I expected at all and my first foray into that genre.

    Thanks for being such a hospitable co-host!

  23. Is it my imagination or are there a lot of blah movies? Or maybe I'm confusing them with the re-boots?

    I haven't seen anything totally original since Inception.

  24. Have to admit, "write" gets quickly to the point! I agree and that's what gave me my idea on what to write today! Thanks for hosting!

  25. Apart from Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton hasn't had much luck with movie adaptations! :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I kind of liked "Sphere." It dealt with some really interesting psychological issues. It was almost a mystery. But I have to admit I liked "Abyss" too, so maybe I just like underwater movies! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  27. Write.

    I love it! Sometimes, I think I need that stamped on my forehead. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I like your IWSG advice :) Thanks for co-hosting this month!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Can't think of any better advice to offer writers.

    And I never saw Sphere.

  30. Hey Heather,

    Seriously, my ego can't take much more of this. I keep noting all you fine folks mentioning the "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary:)

    You are right, write!

    I know, a bit ahead of myself. How did that happen? Thanks and "go ahead, make my day!"...

    Gary :)

  31. I never saw the movie but the book was awesome! Are you as tired as I am after reading all those posts? How does Alex do it?

  33. Practice does make perfect, doesn't it?

    I wanted to thank you for being a co-host. It's a lot of work getting to everyone. I started commenting late last night and throughout the day and again tonight. I still haven't gotten to everyone.

  35. Exactly. Writing is something we should come back to no matter what. Writing is what makes us real writers. :-)
