Gotta see "The Ghost Writer"

Okay, how am I NOT going to see this movie today? Two lines from the trailer that got a big "True that!" from me:

"I interview you and turn your answers into prose." An exactly correct explanation of what I do for my clients.

"Inviting the ghostwriter to the book party is like having the mistress at the wedding." Seconded.

Him (to prime minister's wife): "Didn't you ever want to be a proper politician yourself?"
Her: "Didn't you ever want to be a proper writer?"
Zing!

And I have no trouble believing: "It was the book that killed him!"



I'll let you know how it goes down.
