I believe that's Jong's summation of that particular passage, but I believe the dialogue was translated faithfully.

ps megalolz at someone voting in a genre he explicitly doesn't care for dismissing one of the genre's acknowledged classics as "a silly little horror film."

/I think I've told this story before but my college roommate has a super obsessive mother who rented Eraserhead one weekend and made the entire family watch it 10 times in quick succession. She also painted Disintegration-inspired murals all over their bathroom after my roommate brought home copies of my Cure albums.

An ex co-worker was really into SJP, to the point of having her picture as his desktop wallpaper on his work computer. One day he was like "So, what do you think about SJP? Don't you think she's hot?" and I was "no way, she looks like a horse!"

― banal like a null (snoball), Thursday, 24 May 2012 08:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

I still don't believe I had this IRL conversation, but it happened:

I was talking to a girl I didn't know about "Friends". Basically, that I thought it cool that this comedy series was such a big hit even though all of the main people in it were basically unsympathetic characters really.
At which point she said "You know, a lot of my friends say I'm like Rachael. What do you think?"
I said "um, .. yeah I can see that!"
