The Lovely Bones
a pack of wolves:
I thought the same, but then again I don't care in the slightest about the book and Jackson's films were at least a bit of fun so I'm willing to give him a pass on that one since I was never going to be that impressed with them. And much as I enjoyed Heavenly Creatures you're right, it's hardly subtle and that time he had a good cast making it work which doesn't seem to be the case here. I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he can pull a good film out of it all though.

So, so true. That's what grates the most about Jackson's direction, the way he tries to squeeze every ounce of emotion from every scene. Throughout LOTR you're often thinking "Alright, I get it, this is sad. Get on with it."

I would not be able to watch this movie without thinking that the dad was Dirk Diggler.

Has anybody spoken to people who've read the book yet? They seem almost angry that this movie is being made.

I read the book a few years ago. Saw it in the bookstore for not much money, bought it, read it. I liked it a lot. I'm re-reading the book now, and I can't wait for this movie. Peter Jackson is incapable of fucking up a movie.
