Plain Banter . . . lies about science fiction, and everything else. When the writer becomes the center of his attention, he becomes a nudnik. And a nudnik who believes he's profound is even worse than just a plain nudnik. -- Isaac Bashevis Singer |

2008-02-23 8:40 PM Little Jokes Writers Play I just saw the movie Vantage Point. It was OK, but I think I caught a little joke inserted by the scriptwriter. The movie presents the same set of events from several different viewpoints, with each retelling starting with a clock rewinding to 12:00. Halfway through the movie, I whispered to my wife, "This reminds me of Groundhog Day. So the little joke is that later in the movie, at a fairly crucial point, one character says to another, "I got you." That ought to ring a bell if you know Groundhog Day. Coincidence? Maybe. But I'd rather believe it was a little in-joke. Cracked me up, but I may have been the only one in that crowded theater making the connection.
