Is it even possible to properly adapt Roald Dahl? I'd say the Witches came the closest, but James and the Giant Peach/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sucked. Willie Wonka was good, but not really a proper adaptation, either."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under," -
I don't know if it's possible. But if it is, Wes Anderson is definitely not the person to do it. (Nor was Tim Burton, as you point out.)Originally posted by Commando View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Yeah I like Tim Burton movies and I like Wes Anderson movies, but I think in this case I'm looking for a Roald Dahl movie. Is there a competent filmmaker that could lose their ego in the text and faithfully convey the spirit of the novel or story? Maybe, but none that a studio or production company would green light. Catch 22 situation, I guess.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

I'm really looking forward to All the Light We Cannot See, which premieres Nov. 2nd. The book was incredible.

If you have never seen Whiplash, you should watch it while it is streaming on Netflix. One of my all-time favorites. Enjoyed it just as much on my second viewing. In particular, I love the ending and how they leave the central questions of the movie unanswered. And the state farm dude makes an amazing villian."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Not sure I'll watch it again as it's very raw and discomfiting (not necessariiy a bad thing) and J.K. Simmons is, as usual, outstanding. I'll watch pretty much anything he's in, including commercials, e.g., Thank You for Smoking and Up in the Air.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Blue Eye Samurai was good. Lots of recognizable voices means they spent a lot of money.
