DISQUS

"more aptly fit for the intellectual crowd" lol. how about, "more aptly fit for people with attention spans who can turn their cellphones off and sit quietly." unfortunately, after watching this trailer i'd rather read the book. i hope this isn't supposed to be 'sold' as a comedy. or make money. thus ends my unwelcome opinion.

1. Your opinion... always welcome.

2. Definitely go read the book. It's good stuff.

This trailer got me interested. So I hope I'm part of the intellectual crowd? lol
"Really smart people are rare" so I'm guessing this movie's not gonna be as popular as John Krasinski hopes.

Can't wait to see how this turns out myself. I love Wallace. And you're probably right--chances are slim that his work could be both faithfully adapted and tailored to fit the tastes of the uninitiated...

Not sure how its adaptability can be so directly compared to the seminal Watchmen, which was visual and cohesively narrative (for the most part) in graphic novel form... BIWHM seems FAR more challenging, unless the difficulty is specifically in re special effects and pacing.
