Absolutely. 100 years might be unfilmable but Love in the Time of Cholera would be majestic. Especially if it wasn't done by Hollywood.
Yep.  Someone like Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate) would be a good pick for director. But yeah, when I saw demonic's post the other day I started thinking about Solitude, I don't think it would be do-able.
But then, lo-and-behold, check this out, I just added it.

Did I make this happen just by wishing for it? Do I have...magical powers??
I'm going to find out, I'm going to make a few more wishes. You may see me on the news this evening. |

I like Love in the Time of Cholera, but 100 Years of Solitude is pretentious piffle. I am alone in this view, I know.

I am reading Boomsday, by Christopher Buckley (Thank You for Not Smoking) and it is brilliant. I love political sattire and Buckley is a master of it.
The basic story line is that as the baby boomers approach retirement age, it will completely drain the resources of the government, so in the vain of Swift's "A Modest Proposal", a blogger proposes that the government give benefits to people who voluntarily off themselves and provides a schedule of increased benefits to dependents for doing so. Hillarity ensues. |

I can't believe I forgot "The Fledgling."
Animated or live action, it doesn't matter...but someone's gotta put this childrens' story on the big screen. |

Also Mick Foleys professional wrestling life story should be made into a movie. He had an amazing carrer. You need to read his autobiography even if you dont like Wrestling....WWE style
his book is titled 'Have a Nice Day' |
