ventaOne of the things most guaranteed to throw any sensible person into a flat spin is the discovery that a favourite book is being made into a film.
Sometime this year, a film version of The Eagle of the Ninth will be released.
Will it suck? Will it be great? Will it trample all over one of the best-loved books of my childhood[*]?
I'm waiting anxiously.
Oh, and yes I do know that the book is based on an entirely false premise - what was a reasonably valid historical theory in 1954 is now known to be untrue. Don't care.
[*] and adulthood, if we're strictly honest

Date: 2010-01-12 11:46 pm (UTC)Currently reading The Lost Eagles (http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Eagles-Ralph-Graves/dp/B000OU7YFA) about XX and its mates... which really is terrible slush. It might be well-researched slush (I'm not well-enough informed to comment), but really. Crikey.
Edited to add: ye gods. Look at the review on Amazon to see what reading it can do to your brain...
