Movie? We don't need. . .

[Aaron Yeater]

Dennis--it's all in fun (mostly, anyway) and what makes it fun is 
that of course it will never happen, and if it did, of course it 
would be horrible.  but its fun to imagine, especially considering 
TRP has a thematic connection to film, how one would film palatably a 
novel which many consider unreadable...think of it as a scholastic 
argument for pyncho-maniacs...
