Subject: A movie based on a book you'd like to see

And who would the cast be?

I would love to see a movie version of The Catcher In The Rye (it would be heavily ironic, I know), but I'm not sure who should play Holden. A young Leonardo Dicaprio would've been the best, but he's too old now.

Pure Insanity
The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

I'm always a little apprehensive of movies based on books.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Once Upon a Time in the North would be cool. It's a western with hot air balloons and armoured polar bears in the arctic.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

The liberties they took with that movie are inexcusable. I'd be longing for a correcting sequel, but I'm not as much of a fantasy fan as I used to be.

Mreh.

I think it would be better if they made movies into TV series. Mostly because they can put more content into it instead of cutting out half the book due to time constraints.

I wish there was a movie adaptation of His Dark Materials that lived up to the book.

This as well. With the right director, and a good helping of subtlety, it would be a classic. The final battle would be mind blowing...

Asimov's Foundation.

Anything by Asimov, really. But only if they do a good job. I, Robot was pretty decent, but I worry about movie adaptations of really old sci-fi books nowadays
