For some reason, I'm getting messages five hours after
they've been sent, but I'll take this opportunity to agree
with both Mark and Luca that the film could've been
better...it tends to worsen as it goes along...particularly
if it had had the guts to follow the novel more closely. And
this despite fine performances from Gershon and Cloris
Leachman, along with Zane pretty inspired choices for the
roles...but it became too much of a Zane showcase.
On the plus side, if you like the movie, there's a good
chance you'll love the book. I read it, as Luca may've, in Ed
Gorman's SECOND BLACK LIZARD ANTHOLOGY. TM
-----Original Message----- From: Jesse Willis Speaking of
Thompson, I just started watching a movie called "This World
Then The Fireworks" apparently its inspired by a Thompson
novel but I havent heard that title before. Does anyone know
about the movie or the original novel's title?
