Pasta. Plain. But Good.
INGREDIENTS:
Pasta.
And salt.
And water.
And Fire.
DIRECTIONS:
Place the pasta in the water and the salt in the water and the water in the pot and the pot on the fire.
In the pot? The fire in the pot?
No. The water in the pot. The pot on the fire.
The pasta in the water?
Yes, in the water.
And the salt in the fire?
No. The salt in the water.
And the water on the fire?
No. The water in the pot and the pot on the fire. Not the water on the fire. For then the fire will die and dying be dead.
Nor will the water boil and the pasta will drain dry and not cooked and hard to the teeth.
The salt falls nor does it cease to fall.
The water boils. So be it.
Cease from placing your hand in the boiling water. Place your hand in the boiling water and it will cause you pain.
Much pain?
Very much pain.
In the pot the bubbles bubble up and bubble some more. The bubbles are bubbly. Never more bubbly bubbles bubbling bubbliest. And having bubbled the bubbles still bubbly.
Or bubblier?
Or bubblier.
Across the kitchen a board intended for chopping. Here. Take it. Chop.
What will I chop? There are no ingredients to chop.
Just chop. Don't cease from chopping. To chop is to become a man.
After 10 minutes. The pasta stiff and dry and upright no more. The pasta lank and wet and soft. In the eternal damp of water.
Pour water free like some ancient anointing. The pasta left alone in the pot. Alone and naked.
The salt? Where's the salt?
The salt is gone. Lost to the water and gone forever.
I grieve for the salt.
It is the salt for which I grieve.
Tip the pasta out.
The pasta?
Yes. Tip it out. Onto.
A plate?
Yes. And stop.
Finishing your sentences?
Yes.
Why?
Because it's so.
Irritating?
Nothing in your memory anywhere of anything so good. Now the pasta is eaten. Disappeared. The pasta disappeared as everything disappeared. As the comma disappears and the semicolon disappears and the inverted comma disappears and the apostrophe disappears and the adjectives and the pronouns all disappear.
Leaving just full stops and And.
And And?
And And.
And And.

It's 90% video games, 8% dave matthews and 2% coldplay. Video games are 100% main stream already.

still, i'd rather see Repo! than this, i think. or shit, maybe a double header.

In this new final cut of the beloved sci-fi cult classic, Deckard finds out he's not only a replicant... but actually a replicant of a replicant, which actually makes him human. Scenes from The Gene Generation have actually been spliced in to bridge the story gaps, making this article wholly appropriate.

But before it will Blade Runner: the unrated Laser Disc director's recut of the 1992 vhs director's uncut".
In that versiones, Deckard saw two unicorns. You know what it means. TWO!!!! It has probably two personalities, but do dream androids with schyzophrenia?

PAINTINGS!
I mean, they could've at least tied it into the narrative somehow, (albeit, without revealing all of the intricacies of the plot against Duke Atreids), by having it be a film-book Yueh was teaching Paul out of or something similar.

To be fair it is one of my favorite mediums, BUT I AM NOT MAKING A BIG BUDGET MOVIE.

Rapidly aging David Bowie vampire! Lesbian love scenes! Violin students for the sacrifice!

To address your main point of why it won't work directly: could you not just have introspective, slowed down events in the movie where your seeing the action propelled forward, but have a soft voiceover of Katniss' thoughts and perceptions of her actions and emotions?
I think it may not be that difficult ot accomplish, I think that we are maybe just a bit preconditioned into believing that translating any work will result in one which is of lesser quality.
I think it is totally dependent on the director and the vision for the feel of the movie as a whole, and is not neccesarily instantly sujected to the worst case scenario when it comes to movie translations.
Don't know why that was so long for something I have no previous interest in, but thatnks for letting me say my piece!

with a skilled actor and director this kind of deception can be conveyed to the audience.
honestly I can't see this being made into anything more than the 30 other movies with the same basic premise...

The concern should be on whether the scripting process even allows for this. And if it doesn't, then I'd definitely say they missed the point.
