1. I read the novella but never saw the movie

It is classic Ellison. As bleak as the short story, I Have No Mouth. and I Must Scream.

"Well, I’d certainly say she had marvelous judgment, Albert, if not particularly good taste"

10. Yes, including "...if not particularly good taste."

I hated that I liked the movie so much.
