One of my fantasies, well at least ones I can discuss on a public board, would be that if I won a mega lottery I would like to open up a movie production company where we would take classic pieces of literature and faithfully portray them on the screen as the author intended. I too am sick of movies bastardizing books.

Ok that fantasy will never happen, but at least it is more noble than my fantasy involving Sandra Bullock, a can of 10W40 oil and a handful of granola...

Oh did I actually type that or was I just thinkin that?

1) Maybe not such a fantasy. If you made movies that were relatively faithful to good books or, dare I dream, historical events I would probably see them 3 million times apiece. Not a bad start at the box office, eh?

2) That IS a fantasy. I would never let you near MY Sandra:rotfl:
