Trailer looks good. Fortunately, I can barely remember much from the book. I really wish they would do a Survivor adaptation.

sam rockwell is one of my fav. actors.

did a great job in hitchhikers guide too.

8/16/2008 12:19:04 PM

It's been a while since I've read the book, but I remember Victor as being a guy who was a "good" person inside and was trying his hardest to appear to be a terrible person to the world. I don't get that feeling from the trailer. It seems like he's a terrible person trying to be a terrible person. I know you can't tell all the much from the trailer sometimes, but it just seems like the way he is being played is waaaay different than the character I had in my head when I was reading it.

trailer looked great

8/16/2008 2:20:26 PM

I'm going to look forward to this.

enjoyed the book, I'll def. see the movie

8/17/2008 3:04:10 AM

I think Radiohead is doing the score for this movie.

8/17/2008 8:55:37 PM

I know, that just makes it -that- much better
I can't fucking wait

8/17/2008 11:44:05 PM

Radiohead is not doing the score for the film however Reckoner will be played during the credits. The director or Chuck or someone else involved misspoke about this last week and a correction was made the next day.

9/26/2008 12:41:00 PM

fuck reviews, I'll form my own opinion

9/26/2008 5:30:56 PM

goddamnit.... you only get this opportunity once in a decade and they done fucked it up?

9/26/2008 6:46:33 PM

I thought it was hilarious and I kind of want to see it again. The only real difference I remember right now is that didn't the book end with someone being stoned?

The Raping Fantasy scene had me rolling, and Angelica Huston nailed it.

Fucking Knave!

9/27/2008 9:38:18 AM

uhh. . . . bump?

9/28/2008 5:04:20 AM

gah. This is what I get for reading this thread while I'm 90% through with the book.

9/28/2008 2:42:42 PM

hahaha sorry

but now you can confirm it for me!

9/28/2008 5:20:15 PM

Ok, just finished the book. And yeah, Victor does get stoned at the end, but not to death.

I wanted to see it becuase I read it and liked it so much
I dunno how people will like it having never read it
Also, it's rare that movies cast characters that really fit, but I thought this did a good job of that. In my opinion at least
