It's honestly annoying the hell out of me that reviewers keep calling the new Cape Fear a remake of the 1991 Scorsese movie. THAT WAS A REMAKE. The 1962 original is one of my favorite movies. Sigh. I guess I'm officially of a certain age and cranky to boot.

If this awful world has room for a petty gripe: I'm blown away by the streaming success of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. But! Streaming's "shrink the movie the moment the closing credits start" means that most viewers have no idea it's based on a novel. And I, personally, would like it better if they did know.

This is an outstanding book (I was lucky enough to read an advance copy). I just wish it weren’t so timely, but Sarah’s particular gift seems to be matching stories from the past with Our Current Moment.

The fact that he couldn't pronounce acetaminophen isn't what disturbs me. What disturbs me is that he couldn't be bothered to read something even once before proclaiming it to reporters and the world.
