This is the children’s book I would have read to my kids


It looks lovely: Movies R Fun!: A Collection of Cinematic Classics for the Pre-(Film) School Cinephile. It’s a collection of well-known movie scenes drawn as if for children’s books.

whrrr

And then, after we’d read the book, we could watch the movie together.

Don’t worry, my kids all grew up to be perfectly healthy, normal, well-adjusted adults. Not for want of trying, though!

    That book (just the preview, at that!) made me realize that there are many, many film classics that I have not seen. About 80% of the presented list, in fact. Huh.

    Yeah, but look who’s making that assessment.

    @Danny Butts #6:

    There’s a reason films like ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ and ‘Let The Right One In’ get remade in English only a year or two after achieving cult success.

    Admittedly, ‘Let Me In’ was very good in its own right.

    I watched “let Me In ” for the second time a couple of nights ago and kept wondering why I was remembering things that weren’t in it. Its a pretty good effort but (and excuse me for sounding like a dick) the original has way more texture.

    BTW, I understand there is to be a US remake of Borgen. It is to be set at state politics level as the American producers think coalition politics is too complicated for its intended audience.

    Assuming that a political drama is aimed at people who have an interest in the drama of politics and given that the Danish electoral system is thought too complicated for an American audience, can I conclude that you are very poorly served by your television industry?

    Not that the UK is much better but some of our more high minded channels do allow that we are able to read while watching telly.
