Sometimes Linklater's films are damn good and other times they kinda suck. But I will have faith that along with Guzman, Hawke, Kinnear, Kristofferson, and Valderrama that this will be good. I can hardly wait for Linklater's A Scanner Darkly.

So if I got this straight linklater is making a ficitional verision of a non-fictional book wierd. The only movie like this I can remember is Woody Allen's brilliant "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex but were Too Afraid to Ask"

Martha Coolidge once directed a "fictional" version of the book "The Joy of Sex."

It was not ... a good movie.
