For me it didn't capture the energy of Kerouac's writing and there were far too many sex scenes for my taste. <br />It does have some Paul Shttp://pfeifferpfilmsandmegmovies.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-10130139202855477872012-11-11T12:44:46.319-08:002012-11-11T12:44:46.319-08:00Paul I am so happy you liked it!

Hell, now I just feel like we should take a road trip from London to Stockport and then on to anywhere!

It's fantastic!<br /><br />I've dipped into it every day since, especially the chapter where Sal rides across the plains with the Minnesota farmers, Mississippi Gene and Montana Slim.<br /><br />Like you I'll be avoiding the film adaptation, and I'll probably think of you and Paul Shttp://pfeifferpfilmsandmegmovies.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-19956228186501239552012-10-03T09:43:47.401-07:002012-10-03T09:43:47.401-07:00I feel the exact same way.

It doesn't help that I have little interest in seeing Kristen Stewart or Garrett Hedlund in lead roles. It can't possibly do the book justice, can it?Erichttp://twscritic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-52802256914718124032012-09-28T18:43:55.508-07:002012-09-28T18:43:55.508-07:00I was one of the ones on Facebook suggesting that ...I was one of the ones on Facebook suggesting that you see it. I love that book too and am just curious to see how they will interpret it. I'd like to see it but I have read that book several times and pictured my own ideas. <br /><br />My best example of studios vision not matching my own was Tom Hanks in the DaVinci Code & Angels & Demons.
