I'm With The Band is a great read, btw.
One of my all-time favorite trashy reads.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yep, she used to be married to Michael Des Barres.

Iggy Pop should be in a movie with Seth Green. It would rock.

several of EC's songs are about her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This particular short story is so short, and has more of a point than a plot -- it gives you a lot of leeway. And if the story is so short, there's no reason to extrapolate its excellence into your movie -- you've got to add so much, you can't piggyback on the original author's brilliance.

At this point I've lowered my expectations to Ed Burns looking sweatily heroic as he evades dinosaurs in the jungle.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yay, dinosaurs!

Now tagless for your comfort.

The Sound of Thunder was one of the first sci-fi short stories to get me hooked on the genre. That, along with Green Patches and He Built a Crooked House.
I hope they don't cock up the story.
We watched Layer Cake last night and the soundtrack is incredible! I have to admit being completely addicted to English gangster films.

Oh, we almost watched Layer Cake last weekend, but then we couldn't resist Alone in the Dark. You so rarely see something get 1% "fresh" at Rotten Tomatoes.
Edited 'cause... "Rotton"? Wha?

I've never heard of ANYTHING getting a 1% fresh rating. Even Uwe Boll's previous House of the Dead and Out Cold (the movie I walked out of before the opening credits were finished) scored in the 3-4% range. (By Contrast, Catwoman got a comparatively good 9%.)
We may have a new Ed Wood for the 21st century.
