I find that seeing the movie before reading the book usually works better for me. Once I see the movie, I can usually separate my memories of the movie from the book. However, if I read the book firs, I think about the things that get left out of the movie.
I used to say that I am not to concerned about getting hit by a car, after all with my size I would do more damage to the car than it would do to me.
I used to say that until I got hit by a Mercedes. No I did not receive a big pay out, because I was J walking at the time and I did not want to receive a ticket like friend of mine did, so I told the driver that I was unhurt and kept going. The good news is that I was mostly unhurt. I was able to jump before impact and push off of the hood of the car.
I am glad that it did not say white tie only.
