      <![CDATA[@Don'tAsk: It's faithful not just to the events but to the tone — that gum-smacking wiseguy hard-boiled voice Wolfe uses to approximate an airline pilot's drawl (and the casting of Helm as its embodiment was genius). <br>
<br>
Here's hoping Kaufman's HEMINGWAY AND GELLHORN movie is a return to form.

      <![CDATA[Mr. Pink: To this day, I'm amazed how faithful to Wolfe's book that movie is. For something with such a long running time, it's surprising that the studio ever let it see the light of day with all its component parts intact. <br>

But it's necessary!

      <![CDATA[Over at The Belcourt's Facebook page, everybody's listing kids' movies more messed-up than this one. I confess I haven't seen WATCHER IN THE WOODS, and I didn't see RETURN TO OZ until about six months ago — it's definitely messed-up, though.
