P. G. Wodehouse

It is as if we are freshly hatched birds looking up with our mouths open waiting for Hollywood to feed us more regurgitated worms. The 'Watchmen' film sounds like more regurgitated worms. I for one am sick of worms. Can’t we get something else? Perhaps some takeout? Even Chinese worms would be a nice change. Alan Moore
Anderson Cooper quote: "I’d wanted emotion but couldn’t find it here, so I settled for..."

"I've never seen Shelby in a bathing suit. Nora Roberts
