- 15:00Speaker 2: That particular area was I think a scary place to
- 15:05Speaker 2: traverse when people first started sailing across the Atlantic because
- 15:10Speaker 2: it can be an area of very calm, dead sea,
- 15:14Speaker 2: and so you tend to get stuck, and a lot

- 15:33Speaker 2: thought it was up near Greenland, Iceland that area, but
- 15:38Speaker 2: it is like most of the Atlantic Ocean to the
- 15:42Speaker 2: east of the eastern seaboard of the US doesn't go
- 15:47Speaker 2: all the way into the middle. But it's a large area.
- 15:50Speaker 2: It's probably the size of the US South. That's it
- 15:55Speaker 2: for the regular rounds. That means it's time for the
- 15:58Speaker 2: Big Bang Round. The category for this week's Big Bang
- 16:07Speaker 2: Round is Literature. We're going to give you three questions,
- 16:11Speaker 2: the answers of which are all clues to the final question.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Keep in mind the three clue questions may not be
- 16:18Speaker 2: from the same category as the last question. Question one,
- 16:24Speaker 2: although considered one of the most influential directors who only

- 16:33Speaker 2: thousand and one A Space Odyssey.

- 16:56Speaker 2: Question three? What word is defined as behavior involving physical
- 17:00Speaker 2: force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something?
- 17:09Speaker 1: And Your Big Bang Question again, your category is literature.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Which novel was written with twenty one chapters, but when
- 17:18Speaker 1: published in the US, the final chapter was omitted by
- 17:21Speaker 1: the publisher and the subsequent movie was made on the
- 17:26Speaker 1: US version.
- 17:31Speaker 2: And now the answers to the Big Bang Round. Question one,
- 17:35Speaker 2: who only won one Academy Award for Best Visual Effects
- 17:38Speaker 2: for two thousand and one A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Question two? Which English actor has starred in Star Trek Generations,
- 17:52Speaker 1: Tank Girl and as doctor Samuel Loomis Malcolm McDowell.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Question three, What word is to find as behavior involving
- 18:04Speaker 2: physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kills someone or something?
- 18:09Speaker 1: Violence and Your Big Bang Question. Which novel was written
- 18:15Speaker 1: with twenty one chapters, but when published in the US,
- 18:18Speaker 1: the final chapter was admitted by the publisher and the
- 18:21Speaker 1: subsequent movie was made on the US version. A film
- 18:26Speaker 1: that was directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Malcolm McDowell
- 18:31Speaker 1: and known for its ultra violence. It is a Clockwork Orange.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I just started reading it because I've never seen the movie,
- 18:43Speaker 1: and I didn't really have much interest in the book
- 18:46Speaker 1: because it seems like it's really violent and graphic. Yeah,
- 18:50Speaker 1: but a friend of mine said, no, I think you'll
- 18:52Speaker 1: be okay, Like it's not that tolerable. Yeah, So we'll see.
- 18:56Speaker 1: We'll see if we're still be friends at the end
- 18:58Speaker 1: of this. But anyway, the intro to the book, the
- 19:03Speaker 1: audiobook that I'm listening to, has a message from Anthony Burgess.
- 19:09Speaker 1: And first of all, he hates the book. I think
- 19:11Speaker 1: that's well known. Oh well, he hates it. He doesn't
- 19:15Speaker 1: think it's a very good work that he did. But
- 19:18Speaker 1: what happened was he wanted to have twenty one chapters
- 19:21Speaker 1: because he thought that that was a significant age of
- 19:24Speaker 1: when you become an adult. And he wrote twenty one chapters,
- 19:27Speaker 1: and the UK version published the book as is in
- 19:31Speaker 1: the US. When he finally got a publisher, the publisher
- 19:36Speaker 1: was like, this last chapter stupid. I'll publish this for you,
- 19:41Speaker 1: but we're cutting it. And so then when Stanley Kubrick
- 19:43Speaker 1: read the book, he read the US version, he didn't
- 19:46Speaker 1: know anything about the twenty first chapter, at least I
- 19:49Speaker 1: don't think he did. And so his movie is based
- 19:53Speaker 1: upon the book with just twenty chapters, because I guess
- 19:57Speaker 1: the twenty first chapter is about the character growing and
- 20:01Speaker 1: changing and so Anthony. I call him Anthony. We're good friends.
- 20:08Speaker 1: He thought the twenty first chapter was important to show
- 20:11Speaker 1: that the character grew up in that a lot of
- 20:16Speaker 1: the behavior in the book is because of youth and
- 20:20Speaker 1: like a misspent youth. Right, But now the American version
- 20:24Speaker 1: is just kind of like, haha, the character didn't change
- 20:27Speaker 1: at all, Lady Dadi Da. So he extra hates the
- 20:32Speaker 1: American version of it. And I don't blame him because
- 20:36Speaker 1: he's just like, well, glad, I wrote a book where
- 20:38Speaker 1: the character doesn't develop at all. So yeah, I feel
- 20:43Speaker 1: bad for him that that was done to him. I've
- 20:46Speaker 1: never heard of that in a book before.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I've not heard of anything quite like that either.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I don't think I know that. You know a lot
- 20:54Speaker 2: of books that have been adapted into films are kind
- 20:58Speaker 2: of you know, they just don't do a good job
- 21:01Speaker 2: a lot of times of adapting.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, Stephen King famously hates the Shining
- 21:06Speaker 1: that Stanley Kruber did. So even a Stanley Krueberg gread
- 21:09Speaker 1: the English version. You know, you can still make a
- 21:12Speaker 1: movie that's the author might hate.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, don't even get me started on
- 21:18Speaker 2: the Dark Tower.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I can't imagine what it'd be like to create something
- 21:23Speaker 1: that's wonderful and then see a mediocre movie made of it.
- 21:27Speaker 1: I'm sure that that's not pleasant, you know, because I
- 21:31Speaker 1: been ouch.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I was going to say if you if you took
- 21:35Speaker 2: them on Lisa and made a sculpture, it wouldn't be
- 21:39Speaker 2: the same. Yeah, and that's what you're saying.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Like, but if you turned it into a lego piece
- 21:46Speaker 1: of artwork that you can hang.
- 21:47Speaker 2: On the word, people should pay to come over and
- 21:51Speaker 2: look at it. Maybe get our house gets broken into
- 21:57Speaker 2: the lego gets still.
