LOVED the doppleganger hanger of your Epilogue.<br /><br />You're the craftiest oh wielder of the plume in a room where writers scribe on. So very grateful (said this Kate-full) that you added your fun-flair (or is that flare) to this Druther*Endings challenge.<br /><br />And Magda -- there just may be another terrifical ending comin' up ... you don't think Butch and Sundance really died, do you?<br /><br />(( Uh? Do YOU, Har? ))<br />~ Absolutely*Kate wishin' much "HO HO" into all you mighty fine BIJOU holidayin' patrons of the arts and writes ...Kate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-66721833741360634762010-12-18T14:17:45.884-05:002010-12-18T14:17:45.884-05:00Sal Butacci -- Your ending of Doctor Zhivago was b...Sal Butacci -- Your ending of Doctor Zhivago was both hilarious and sanguine -- a Soprano-like ending indeed!<br /><br />Absolutely*Kate -- You had a great idea in getting writers to redo the ending of famous movies (the only kind anyone would want to redo.) Perhaps you would want to suggest that someone, maybe<br />the surfer cowboy or New Jersey Anthony, would want to rewrite the ending of The Third Man.<br /><br />Matt MagdaMatthew S.

I love the Russian novels and really had no business tampering with one of their endings, but I could not resist. If Boris Pasternak got peeved and rolled in his grave, it was probably a good thing. Ever try to lie in the same position year after year? It can only bring on scads of grave sores.Salvatore Buttacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477098872186908154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-77737713222145741102010-12-15T20:37:31.873-05:002010-12-15T20:37:31.873-05:00"Antonia, true to her word, zhivogged Zhivago..."Antonia, true to her word, zhivogged Zhivago down the middle like a ripe Ukranian watermelon."<br /><br />Who, but Sal, wordmaster extraordinaire, could think of a line like that? I thought he had reached the pinnacle, but then he informed us that "Stalin was hot to Trotsky!"

I loved The widow Antonia, still in hacking mode, light-footed her way towards the naked bimbo, sidestepping the geyser of red-hot blood gushing like borscht from the cavity of Yuri’s chest, painting the ice floor red as the new flag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
