 Running With Scissors QUOTE Young Augusten Burroughs (Cross) absorbs experiences that could make for a shocking memoir: the son of an alcoholic father (Baldwin) and an unstable mother (Bening), he's handed off to his mother's therapist, Dr. Finch (Cox), and spends his adolescent years as a member of Finch's bizarre extended family who else is excited by this movie? It has a pretty impressive cast as well. Movie Trailer Link to the book |

It looks ok. Not as excited about it as some other movies, but I'll probably try to see it. Maybe.

Movies rarely if ever live up to the novels; Augusten Burroughs is one of my favorite authors--I hope they don't butcher it. I personally don't feel Running With Scissors was his best, nor his funniest.

I read the book, I find it a little odd it would be turned in to a movie though. I don't exactly like it when people turn books into movies. Usually the movies are pretty bad.
I suppose I'll go see it and see how it is and such. |

I'll see it, for sure. But probably I'll more than likely NetFlix it. It is a wonderful cast and the acting should be pretty good (to say the least).
Man and is it me, or is Annette Bening starting to look really old? |

at first i was iffy about it, but ryan murphy is producing it or whatever, so that's pretty much a definite watch. and i think evan rachel wood is in it, and i love her.

Well, I'm excited for this. Ryan Murphy is.. well. I heart him.
 I doubt he'll let  And as I stated in the other thread, I gather that Murphy loves dysfunctional families.  Maybe that's why I love him so much.

I remember seeing the book, I never read it though. Maybe they're running out of ideas for movies. I've never been a huge fan of them turning books into movies, but The Notebook in my opinion was better than the book. -shrug- maybe it will be good. Anyone see it?

I'm not seeing it yet because I dont wanna go with my mom and her bf to a movie that's rated R with hella messed up stuff because they KNOW I read it. I will get the DVD later though, or go alone with my friends (crossfingahss). It looks okayish. The book was good to read though. I hope this movie turns out better than I expect.
