/>despite the fact that, true to the norm, the screenplay and the actual novel are merely distant cousins - well, more like first cousins, i guess to be fair - i was not disappointed.
granted, i went into it anticipating as much, based simply on the fact that all of the press and trailers i had glimpsed referred to cillian's character as "kitten," whereas i distinctly remember the hero(ine) of the novel carrying the nom of "pussy."
nevertheless, i would normally still be begrudged, especially having devoured the book in record time (for me) - i adored it that much.
but cillian rarely lets me down (i have forgiven Red Eye) - and this time was well beyond exception... it's always my highest compliment to someone's acting abilities to say that i forgot it was them up there. that compliment is squared when i regularly refer to you as the most lovely creature nature manufactured... as i do cillian.
so let it be known that even if he doesn't win that golden globe tonight, he won it in my world.
and that is not to knock anything/anyone else in the film as a whole. brilliance all around, and stephen rae has never wronged me either.
mr. jordan your film may not be the "breakfast on pluto" that i knew, but it as a lovely lovely lovely adaptation.
