Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?[views:1355][posts:11]_______________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 9:49am - litacore nli ""] BATEMAN You like Huey Lewis and the News? PAUL They're okay. BATEMAN Their early work was a little too New Wave for my taste. But then Sports came out in 1983, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. Bateman walks to his bathroom, taking a large ax out of the shower. He takes two Valium. BATEMAN (Said partly from the bathroom) The whole album has a clear, crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that gives the songs a big boost. Bateman comes back out and leans the ax against the wall. He walks to the foyer and puts on a raincoat, watching PAUL from behind ail the time. BATEMAN He's been compared to ELvis Costello but I think Huey has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor. PAUL is absent-mindedly leafing through the Barneys catalogue. PAUL Hey, Halberstam? BATEMAN Yes, PAUL? PAUL Why are there copies of the Style section all over the place? Do you have a dog? A chow or something? BATEMAN No, PAUL. PAUL (Confused) Is that a raincoat? BATEMAN Yes, it is. Bateman moves to the CD player. He takes a CD out of its case and slides it in the machine. BATEMAN In 1987 Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think I heir undisputed masterpiece is "HiP To Be Square," a song so catchy that most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's al~ a personal statement about the band itself. Bateman puts on "Hip To Be Square." BATEMAN crosses the room and picks up the ax. We follow BATEMAN from behind as he walks up to PAUL, the ax raised over his head. BATEMAN Hey, Paul? As PAUL turns around, FROM PAUL'S POV we see Bateman swing the ax toward his face. |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 14,2006 12:54pm - BlackoutRick ""] Movie and book kick major amounts of ass. He is returning for a Batman sequel. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 14,2006 12:54pm - pam ""] The book is a tough read for the first half until he starts killing people left and right. The endless descriptions of what everyone was wearing is tedious, I know. It took me a little while to get through the book but I'm glad I did. |
