Vonneguts appearance in the book.


Finished reading this book this week and I knew of the film and I had seen a couple minutes of it, but it wasn't really as followable or understandable as the book for me.

My question is whether there is someone in this movie who makes an appearance as a writer, and scares the *beep* out of Kilgore Trout and then bid adieu, or what?

Also, what about penis size and body measurements?

Just curious as to how they even managed to try to make a movie out of this book. I don't think you can really do that successfully with any Vonnegut literature unless the entire thing is narrated. Otherwise you don't really ever get the point of it all. Harrison Bergeron was kind of an exception, but that was a short story.

They didn't. It failed miserably.


There is no flavor text!
