Anyone ever seen the movie "Slaughterhouse Five?"

[Bouncy Ball]

Or read the book by Kurt Vonnegut?

I'm watching the movie now. I've seen it about three times, but not in a long-ass time.

It's SO damn good.

1. Read the book.

Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. Both

The movie is so-so. I've seen it once.

The book is a classic. I've read it about a half-dozen times.

One of the best written

Slaughterhouse 5 is up there with Catch-22 and Moby Dick as the greatest American novels.

4. The book is classic. The movie was disappointing.

I liked the adaptation of Mother Night much better.

12. see I like the book Mother Night much better than

Slaughterhouse 5. Slaughterhouse 5 might be my fifth favorite Vonnegut book. Let's see - Mother Night, Jailbird, Player Piano, Cat's Cradle, God Bless You Mr. Rosewater. Nope, 6th place at best.

I like the part in "Back to School" where Rodney Dangerfield hires somebody to write his paper about Kurt Vonnegut. He hires Kurt.

9. The book is MUCH better

but the movie is good, too.

I'm currently re-reading Cat's Cradle. I'd forgotten how good IT was.

10. I saw it on the stage a few years back.

And so it goes......

11. I have read the book a few times

Finally located a video of the flick and found I really had to pay attention to it. Excellent movie, I thought, an underrated.
Also I liked "Happy Birthday, Wanda June" This was a theatrical movie. But just try to buy a copy of it in book form. A rarity!
