The Curse of the Age Gap strikes again.
Austin needs a new book to read and was going through my
sci-fi/fantasy shelf to see if there was anything he was interested
in.
Austin: You’ve got the book Clash of the Titans.
Me: Yeah.
He starts flipping through the pages.
Austin: Nah, the movie came first. It’s even got pictures from the movie in it.
Me: I don’t know.
Austin: You don’t know?
Me: You want to argue about buying books versus reading books?
Austin: I’ve never heard of putting out a book based on a movie.
Me: It was actually common in the ‘seventies. I used to have Freaky Friday, Oh Heavenly Dog, Return from Witch Mountain...
Austin: That’s ridiculous.
Me: Back then, you didn’t have DVDs and streaming for every movie. If you wanted to enjoy a movie over and over, you needed to buy the book.
Austin: And in the winter, when you’re cold, burn it in a fire—?
Me: It’s astounding that you’re still alive.
