But Alicia is talking about films and you answer with books. Or Alicia is
talking about books and you answer with films? Obviously you can't compare
the Great Gatsby with Han Solo (was this the complete name? Excuse me, I'm
not a Star War expert): Gatsby is a character in a novel, Han Solo is
Harrison Ford.
(Who is Robert E. Lee Previtt, anyway?)
As for Sf characters, what about Ragle Gumm, Fred Arctor, Frank Frink,
Horselover Fats, and--yes, and Mr. Tagomi?
