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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
You can make a great miniseries out of a novel (Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz).
That's next up in my queue!
Uhm, after I tackle Under the Cherry Moon and Lost in La Mancha.

To Kill a Mockingbird--great book, great film.
See! it would have been so easy to shoot him down but I really don't remember anyone bringing that up. It was over 20 years ago, though, and I don't have the best memory in the world.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A lot, I think, depends on how you define "great".

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Yeah. "great fun," which, imo, GWTW still is, though exposure to politics and history have tarnished it from my "Twihardesque" devotion at, like 13 or so. But it's not Great, as in "I was changed after viewing this," such as, say, The Wire or Perseopolis or "The Godfather(okay book, amazing film)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I hated Berlin Alexanderplatz. I couldn't finish it.

The first Terminator movie was written before the advent of the World Wide Web. If Skynet did in fact attain self-awareness, I trust that thanks to 4Chan it is currently constructing a robot for the express purpose of erasing its own memory banks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I would include Room With a View as a great movie from a great book, personally.

(Is it annoying to discuss these sorts of things with someone who's never had a film class?)
On the contrary, I'd say it's almost always less annoying!
