Question to big DFW fans only...
...what did you think? Will this movie make me want to murder someone? Or is it a tasteful and somewhat sensitive taking-on of the book's stories?
Because the trailer made me violently angry. Seems like a very off-based slant. As if the screenwriter misread the stories severely.
DFW is a very important figure in my life and work and I am, admittedly, a little sensitive. If INFINITE JEST is ever made, I don't know if I'll be able to handle how misguided it will be. Inherently, it can't be done. Unless, as DFW himself said, it was a Warholian epic length film. Even then, doubtful.
Idea for screenwriters lucky enough to be working today. Grab yourself a god damned brain and write your own stories.
