DPD. Any of you chuckleheads read The Corrections? The first Franzen I've read, enjoyed it nearly as much as Wallace's stuff. Alfred Lambert was a hilariously miserable cocksucker.

I read it awhile back and liked it because it was depressing as hell.

Boourns.

Despite having the selling points of a stellar cast and a bestselling novel, HBO is not moving forward with "The Corrections."

Pay cabler has decided the pilot, which was shot in February, won't become a series. Based on the Jonathan Franzen book, HBO's version of "The Corrections" was adapted and directed by Noah Baumbach, who was exec producing with Franzen and Scott Rudin.

"The Corrections" revolves around the troubles of a Midwestern couple and their three adult children as they trace their lives from the mid-20th century to "one last Christmas" together near the turn of the millennium.

The parents were played by Chris Cooper and Dianne Wiest while Ewan McGregor and Maggie Gyllenhaal were cast as the couple's adult children.

Good, I fucking hate Chris Cooper.

I think my favorite part of the internet is when people I don't know in real life hate random things I assumed were unhateable for reasons I totally don't understand.

Megadittos, Rush.

[R-V]

So it's settled, we're all butthurt HBO isn't making The Corrections because Maggie Gyllenhall is the finest looking lady in Pangaea.

I thought he was creepy and gross in Adaptation. That was enough for me.

A Nicholas Cage movie where someone ELSE comes off as noticeably creepy and gross? I call bullshit.

Pretty confident that you're the only one.  Chris Cooper?  Really?  I'd watch him recite a speech for an insurance seminar.
