...to list all those names/roles!I detected little ire, much amusement, on Mr. Thomas' part. L'ennui ensues for the reader after plowing through all those names...oui?
Follow Ups:
Harmonia,Yes, there is actually a kind of affection by Thomas I think for the odd names used in movies- ones that don't sound like anyone we know or hear about.
It surprises me when movies are required to have real names- usually some temporarily famous person that fell in a hole or something: "Don't Feed the Bears: the Maude'One Arm'Blintibog Story", "Parnell Mabblesonitan-Manhattan Super from Hell", "Three Trick Pony- Buckin'Roy McGladsock" -that kind of thing, because 'movie names' almost always sound artificial.
I think Thomas just had fun making up dozens of roles for everyone he could list to amuse himself. There are some really funny roles attached to the actors in that list.
Yes- it took stamina!
