Hmmmmmmm...I'm hard-pressed to think of any country
that isn't somewhat theatrical--whether it be
intentional or otherwise--especially when it comes to
media.

Apparently I missed the "blanket statement" post, so
I'm lacking the accurate context in which to respond
or ponder it.  At the risk of furthering what seems a
pretty mindless pursuit, could someone be so kind as
it email it to me directly?

Many thanks,
Mitch

"As the movie industry becomes more like the merchandising industry, the book business becomes more like the movie industry.  There's more pressure.  I think it's very difficult to be a young writer today.  I fear that young writers, after one or two books, will disappear the way young film directors do."  --Don DeLillo
