Republican.
He directed the best-known film adapted from the fiction of Harlan Ellison, A Boy And His Dog. Ellison thought the film was okay, but loathed the final line of the movie, put in by Jones himself. I won't go into detail (long story), except to say Ellison was infuriated that the line changed the emotional dynamic of the film, trading a story of an interesting relationship for a cheap punchline.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
