When harry became sally7/5/2023 The soundtrack consists of standards from Harry Connick Jr., with a big band and orchestra arranged by Marc Shaiman. Ephron supplied the structure of the film with much of the dialogue based on the real-life friendship between Reiner and Crystal. Crystal came on board and made his own contributions to the screenplay, making Harry funnier. Sally was based on Ephron and some of her friends. An interview Ephron conducted with Reiner provided the basis for Harry. Ideas for the film began when Rob Reiner divorced from Penny Marshall. The film addresses but does not resolve questions along the lines of "Can men and women ever just be friends?"

The plots tend to be similar: one or more evil geniuses have concocted a scheme to End The World as We Know It, often with the help of Powers that Are Better Left Unmentioned Lest they Come When Called. There’s always a bar where everybody hangs out, usually a soccer team (that’s football for our rest-of-the-world friends), often time travel, and a regular cast of characters (Count Otto Black, Hugo Rune, Barry the Alien Sprout, Lazlo Woodbine, and some others I can’t remember off the top of my head).

I believe this new translation restores Lem’s original meaning to his seminal work.” “Lem’s characteristic semi-philosophical, semi-technical language is also capable of flights of poetic fancy and brilliant linguistic creativity, for example in the names of the structures that arise on the surface of Solaris. “Much is lost when a book is re-translated from an intermediary translation into English, but I’m shocked at the number of places where text was omitted, added, or changed in the 1970 version,” said Johnston. Lem’s heirs are hoping to overcome legal issues to release it as a print edition as well. It has just been published as an audiobook download by Audible, narrated by Battlestar Galactica’s Alessandro Juliani, with an ebook to follow in six months’ time. Now Bill Johnston, a professor at Indiana University, has produced the first Polish-English translation of the novel. Max bey deckard7/4/2023 To have a sequel come out so many years later was interesting and I was able to fall right back into this trippy story. Max was released in 2016 and it was a whirlwind of a story. But his addiction to Max may just be too far gone for Crane to ever recover. When Crane is presented with an opportunity to clear his name and break free from Max, he struggles with what to do. Max lies, and lies on top of those lies, and even though Crane knows it, he is addicted to Max and he cannot break that addiction-he’s not even sure he wants to. Yet, Crane cannot walk away, and Max is content with that. Crane’s health, both physical and mental, is strained to the point of breaking and, due to language barriers and monetary issues, Crane is dependent on Max for everything. Crane has anxiety that he will be found out, and he has anxiety about Max, and that anxiety can unravel him. Max and Crane are living in Mexico under assumed names. This review will naturally reveal plot lines for the series. Max, the Sequel follows Max by Bey Deckard and the books are intended to be read in order.
