No, I did not miss TVO's screening of Dreams With Sharp Teeth last night, and not only did I enjoy this documentary on American writer Harlan Ellison, but it was even better than I thought it would be. Personally, I cannot get enough Harlan; his fiery and take no B.S. personality lines up very much with my own -- I wish I could be as irascible, not to mention, talented, as the Demon With a Steel Tongue.Andrew Dowler, resident home-video writer for Now, a Toronto weekly newspaper, reviewed the DVD of Dreams (which was released last week) and said something which resonates with me, now that I have seen the film: Dowler thinks that Harlan Ellison's ranty nature is an act (after a certain stratospheric level, that is) as the writer-with-a-reputation actually "comes across as a happy, fulfilled man". I agree.

Oops! I totally forgot about it. Don't suppose you taped it by any chance?
Like certain kids in the movie "Pump Up the Volume", I have the tapes... I have the tapes!
