TRP unfilmable?

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

Like I've sald elsewhere, Vineland would make it as a 
series of "Simpsons" episodes.

What------ever. Vineland drops some of TRP's best jokes, it's got scads of TV 
references---we need to get it on the Tube, where It really belongs.

They won't use watery dissolves into the halycon times, hopefully they'll 
have enough sense to just flash on the old Movieola through which 
Prarie is viewing her Mother's past .

AtD will doubtless make a fine 32 hour film someday.
