Film Rights

[Ed Folger]

As a film maker and veteran of both 'giant hollywood majors' and left wing 60's
film co-ops a la _Vineland_ (yes, an accurate historical portrayal - what else
would you expect?) , my first, delighted, reaction to _GR_ was, "At last! A
novelist who has, intentionally and knowledgeably, subverted any attempt to
bring his work to the screen!"  Pynchon is about images from WORDS, not
photographs.

Well ... maybe the world's greatest animator, with the US defense budget, and
Robin Williams doing all the voices, devoting a full lifetime to the project
...... nah ...  Pynchon wins!
