V. important news about literature

[SAUSAGEMAN]

I was reading Cloud Atlas, and, well...

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Totes dismayed.

 

[Cassie]

I'm v. disappointed.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Is this the book of the film that noone understands, and is currently bombing?

 

[Tisiphone]

Yep.

 

[CaptainWacky]

[whisky]

I bet they change that for the movie, as I don't remember bumping into Hugh Grant recently.

 

[CaptainWacky]

[Dr Dave]

They could have filmed someplace else and just said it was Hull.

 

[CaptainWacky]

That would be illegal.
