Yeah, I know, another post about books *and* movies. (What can I say, books and movies are two of my loves!) I'm curious, what are some books that you'd like to see made into movies?
My pick: The Postmortal by Drew Magary
The Kama Sutra
Robert Heinlein's novel, Glory Road
With you in the main role, huh?
shareIn both films, yes. I AM the main role. The protagonist in Glory Road gets a lot of ass, O Goddess.
sharethe antagonist I bet
shareCan I have a bit part?
shareYou can have a BIG part . . .
EDIT Strat, there's something I need to add to our chat here, not so much for you, but for someone who is growing in importance to me. This is only the two of us horsing around. If she saw it, 99 percent certain she would know that automatically and laugh her butt off; but I don't believe in taking chances with the feelings of someone who matters to me. I don't ever want to come within a million miles of upsetting--let alone hurting--her. Strat, you are great, but she is the only woman right now who interests me both as a woman and a friend. You interest me as a friend.
Oh goodie, I won't disappoint you! Do I need to shave?
shareArmpits and legs, yes, please. Elsewhere is optional.
shareThank goodness! You'll send me the script when it's finished, right?
shareSee, that's the beauty of the book-to-movie paradigm: You can read the books and know what is going to happen. And, anyway, we're mostly going to improv The Kama Sutra. I'll be jetting ton The Netherlands to begin rehearsals.
shareOh, so you're not going to do an alternate twist ending sort of thing?
I can't wait to practice my...positions. I suppose I don't have any lines?
Catcher in the Rye. You'd need narration though. It could work if done well. Done in the style of the Brit comedy series Peep Show.
shareWhat about boobs we'd like to see adapted into movies? Kaley Cuoco's for example.
shareJudy Blume's "Blubber", I would change the ending to where "Blubber" gets her redemption and the main bully (Wendy) gets her comeuppance
share"Going Wrong" by Ruth Rendell
They produced an abomination in the UK.
I'm thinking a full production in the U.S.
