Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
Wikipedia says that one of the attempts to film it was by David Lynch working with Isabella Rossellini, and I can kind of just barely see that, if I squint; but even so, it's a very "Yes, indeed, that failure would have been a less ghastly failure than the other failures" squint.
What? Catch-22, because [link]
Ah, I see you were talking about TWH.
However this does sound like something I would cringe at
There was also a brief television comedy series based upon Catch-22 made and televised in 1973, with Richard Dreyfuss in the starring role of Capt. Yossarian.
Larry Gelbart could have done it. But that's why he's a legend.
I'm sure they pitched it: M.A.S.H. meets Hogan's Heroes.
I'm with megan--The Alienist would make a great film, and it's too bad no one has managed it yet.
I totally agree. I listen to the audiobook (the abridgment read by Edward Hermann) a couple times a year. The images are so evocative, I feel as if I've already seen the movie!
I rented Vampires Suck to watch tonight, and once you put Matt Lanter in whiteface makeup, lipstick, and poufy hair it is surprising how reminiscent he is of Paul Rudd.
I am Jack's Calvin & Hobbes.
That? Is genius! Oh. My. doG!
Or, you know, tiger.
On an unrelated note, I finally saw Death Race 2000 (the original). Total 70's Corman cheese, but hilarious because Paul Bartel really could combine exploitation with hilarity (and just the right amount of social satire that the project required).
I got to admit, having seen Robert Beltran in Eating Raoul and Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (both later, more definitively satirical Bartel movies) really made it strange to see him turn up in ST: Voyager. It made that episode where he and Janeway got turned into lizards (or something) and mated a lot less hard to deal with, however.
