>>>>I think GR would be too much for any filmmaker
Yes, I have to agree. Why do we all have this desire to express perfectly
realized creations of one medium through another? It's a strange impulse,
don't you think? With GR, it must be the occasionally cinematic feel that
encourages this response, but geez, unless you want to make a 15 hour film,
don't touch it...and even then...
Although, the critic in me would love to see the failure GR would make, so
I say we go damage-art and give it to Ron Howard with a $200 million budget
and cast Keanu Reeves as Slothrop. Let 'em run with it. It just might be
worth it...

"Unwatchable" say Siskel and Ebert
"The cinematic equivalent of a jumbo jet" says E!
