"...Quite the movie fan
is Holly Gibney
(although she hasn't been in
an actual theater
since the previous spring),
and she enjoys
Hollywood tentpole movies
every bit as much as art films.
One of her faves
from the eighties
is Conan the Barbarian,
and her favorite line
from that film
is spoken by a minor character.
"Two or three years ago",
the peddler says of Set
and his followers,
"they were just another snake cult.
Now they're everywhere.""
- a paragraph from p. 17,
and another misquote from p. 326
"...Holly channels The Empire
Strikes Back. "Everything
means something, it does.""
and still another quote from
the all too fittingly
and
ominously twilit p. 382
"..."Excuse my husband, " Emily says.
"He's upset and it makes him
garrulous.""
and
this Fourceful and final one
from p. 389
"...I have a bad feeling about this,
Ba."
from
the allegorical
and
implicitly Stan and Joan Lee roasting
Stephen King
indie docufiction novel
Holly [2023]
that affirmed
the implicit link
of
lonely, eccentric,
indie, solitary,
STAR WARS luvin',
and mystery solvin'
Holly Gibney
to
equally lonely, eccentric,
indie, solitary,
STAR WARS luvin',
and allegory crackin'

"Very few critics
work carefully,

"...Then
when we in turn
write, speak
or do things,
we release our ideas
out into the environment,
where they can infect
new brains.
Ideas,

thus proliferate
at prodigious rates,
changing at prodigious rates,
as they do so."
- George P. Smith

"...Received opinion
is
often wrong
and
usually boring;
the text is yours
to interpret...
This ability
to read symbolically,
to view
the very world around us
symbolically,
is at the heart
of
the whole literary
[and cinema games].
To accept things
at first glance
to be
as they appear
on the surface
is to be trapped
in the literal.
To be able
to see
symbolic possibilities
allows one
to begin to make
connections
between things
that at first
seem to have
little to do
with each other."

"...The Evil
running rampant
around the world
shows no sign
of disappearing.
It hasn't changed
since I became
a Hero for fun.
In other words,
I am having no effect
on society.
I'm not sad about that.
I do this for fun,
so I just need
to satisfy myself."

CGI enhanced
