Comments on: Stephen Gaghan To Adapt Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink http://www.filmjunk.com/2006/08/24/stephen-gaghan-to-adapt-malcolm-gladwells-blink/ Blog And Podcast Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:19:01 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Malcom FAGwell http://www.filmjunk.com/2006/08/24/stephen-gaghan-to-adapt-malcolm-gladwells-blink/comment-page-1/#comment-622324 Malcom FAGwell Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:11:32 +0000 http://www.filmjunk.com/?p=3553#comment-622324 This book made me relize my life sucked. I used to think there was a purpose to life but malcom just took it away. Everytime I read that book I cry inside. It also reminded my of Vietnam when those damn commies chopped off my legs and used them for decorative lamp posts. I have learned to deal with the pain. Now I beat my wife to take out my frustration. Another book like this and I will have shut the garage and run the car until I slowly asphicsiate. This book made me relize my life sucked.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that didn't *love* the bloody book. It's just not that great! I’m not sure that Gaghan passing up writing TDC required him to have any balls.

I don't know I have a real problem with the classification for some non-fiction "novels" or whatnot. Atleast with a movie you know that it is not supposed to be real (assuming it's not an authentic documentary) so it's less likely to be be out and out propaganda. Who knows how Linklater or Gaghan will approach their material but I'll certainly take a critical eye to where filmic fiction takes over and embellishes truth.
