Running With Scissors Options

[*Kathleen*]

Again, I saw the preview for this from "Nip/Tuck." The screenplay that Ryan Murphy wrote for this is based on the novel by Augusten Burroughs. Ryan Murphy directed it, too (*excitement*)!

Plot Outline: 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.

Judging from the previews, Murphy is a bit obsessed with dysfunctional families.
