Gladiator Film Festival at the Majestic

 


Cheers "Abnormal Psychology" cold open. Woody wants to go fishing. I never noticed the Latin phrase Norm uses. I've used it myself here. I got it from Philip K. Dick. De gustibus non est disputandum. Although Norm left out the "est." In matters of taste there can be no dispute. IMDb has it in the trivia section below.

De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum

 


I have this written in a notebook somewhere that I got from Philip K. Dick. One of his favorite quotes. My two years of high school Latin are a bit rusty. Wiki says - "a Latin maxim meaning "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes." Also - The phrase is commonly rendered in English as "There is no accounting for taste(s)." What I remember from P.K. Dick was something like "other people can have bad taste and I don't care."
