...cracking on that book. Huxley crows, "You have killed God, sir!" in much the same way the good people of J.K. Rowling's books compliment Harry Potter on thwarting He Who Shall Not Be Named. Darwin looks pained and disinterested, as if he'd like to pass on the world changing and just spend a quiet hour in the bathroom by himself (he had chronic stomach troubles). It's only after he examines his grief for Annie under a microscope that he's able to get over his writer's block. (See the 100 best movies of all time...
