Good thing - Showtime is redoing _On the
Beach_
At the same time, Bad thing - there I am, walking in
Manhattan, a poster for the thing catches my eye. DAMMIT!
Peter Towers is a USN Commander. WHY do they give him a
captain's rank? Can't they *at least* have somebody read
the novel before filming (or have a consultant during
filming!)
What it comes down to is that given another
few years, people will just thoroughly *forget* the
books that got eventually made into the movies existed.
Especially when those books are generally much superior to
the movies!!! I can deal with a screen version. BUT
AT LEAST GET IT RIGHT!!! ^^
