: My friend gave to me because he didn't understand it.

: I understood it plenty.

: Hope they make a movie out of it. Before I read it, I read that Terry Gilliam said he could never make a movie of it, I had that in my mind as I read it. I think it would easily tranfer its self to a two hour movie.

At least. There's just no way they could cram all of that into even a 3 hour flcik. Or even better, do it as an HBO Miniseries! Can you imagine the freedom the filmmakers and writers would get with that?

P.S. Who could play Rohrshach? To me at least that would be the most important bit of casting. Feel free to disagree though. My step-grandfather for instane thinks that the toughest part to cast will be Dr. Manhattan.

P.P.S. I heard Terry Gilliam was working on a movie version of Good Omens. Any new news on wether that project is going ahead or not?
