Selected Quotes From Last Night's Bookclub Meeting

Mr A: CGI ruins a movie.
Me: Yes, a case in point being the recent remake of 'Last Of The Mohicans'.
Mr A: There hasn't been a recent remake of "Last Of The Mohicans".
Me: Yes there has: "Avatar"
Mr A: That was a remake of "Dances With Wolves"!
Me: Er, "Dances With Wolves was a remake of "Last Of The Mohicans".

But it got even better:

Mr A: I dislike people who won't read other genres. You mention sci-fi/fantasy to them and they won't even look at it, but then they start gushing about "The Time Traveller's Wife" or "The Road".
Me: Yes, but how many people here will read "The Road" but won't read any of Cormac McCarthy's other books?
Mr A: He's written other books?
Me: Yes, they're over in the Western section.
Mr A: Pfft! Westerns.
