Ellison was here at MIT recently. We showed "A Boy and His Dog " last year. Naturally, everyone wanted to know about the "sexist" story he wrote. He said a few derogatory things about L.Q. Jones (the director), and then said that the movie was okay up to the ending. Ellison said that in his story, the ending was like: Vic and Blood are walking away, talking about having eaten whats-her-name, and Vic says "She said she loved me. Hell, I know what love is, love is what a boy feels for his dog." Don't you twits understand that the whole point of that movie was to show how twisted society would be after a war? Do you think there's going an ERA movement? Face it, life is going to suck. That's the point of the movie. And you people who are calling Ellison a sexist are lucky, because if he heard you, he'd take you apart. Randy -------
