"It helps that film is a visual medium: We don???t need Crichton stacking the deck by having Meredith???s staggering good looks referenced on damn near every other page when we can actually see that, yes, Demi Moore is a fine-looking woman. (I???m similarly appreciative that the phrase ???tush??? does not appear at all in the film version of Disclosure, in the big sex scene or elsewhere.)" . . . .
