  • whatthefu, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1One day I want to see someone make a romantic comedy movie where throughout the whole entire movie the characters' personalities are developed in depth and then at the end one of them gets killed in a car accident caused by John McClane or something. You see all these stock characters in movies get killed, but what if they actually had lives of their own? Just kidding, an ending like that would piss everyone off unless the character that got killed was Hugh Grant.

  • allanmayer, on 04/27/2008, -1/+0I agree one hundred percent with this- I'm just writing a post for my blog 'One Way or an Author,' http://tastingthewind.blogspot.com/ and will refer to it there. Hannibal Lecter- Oh yes. I would also suggest another character who transferred from literature to the big screen less successfully, but had similar contradictions: Alex from 'Clockwork Orange.' He could rape minors, beat up old men, but he loved a bit of Beethoven! And upon that hung the whole premise of the book.
