GRGR Meta - GRFDT

[kelber at mindspring.com]

Don't think the screen could ever do justice to Pynchon.  It's the mind-blowing prose that makes GR what it is (GR, p. 26-29, beginning with "On the old schist of a tombstone," for example).

...and while we're on the subject.....
         having engaged the same fantasy, over and over again in my imagination, my vote has got to go with Terry Gilliam for director.....for reasons to numerous to go into briefly.
                                                          truly,
                                                          ruud (btw, a huge Weir fan!)

    IF he could get back into his more imaginative and less commercial - i.e., earlier stuff, like The Last Wave, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Year of Living Dangerously, Fearless - style, I'd nominate Peter Weir for a director. Apparently he's been announced as the director for Pattern Recognition - William Gibson's book, I'd guess - so maybe that's a good sign that he's returning to that mode...?!
 
    Here's a link for his credits on imdb.com:
