"Capote" was a good flick. It was entertaining and insightful, and featured a stellar acting performance by whatshisname - the dude from "Almost Famous". Also, it took the unique angle of depicting the author during a short period of his life, as opposed to an all-encompassing biography.
Which leads me to the question - where the hell is the Ernest Hemingway movie??? Here's arguably the greatest American writer, a man's man who enjoys hunting and bullfighting, an alcoholic who ended his life at the wrong end of a shotgun barrel. What's Hollywood not seeing here? Yeah, it'd be tough to chronicle his entire life in a feature-length movie, but Christ, take a page out of Capote's book (BAD pun) and focus on a 5- or 10-year span. There's plenty of material...
Instead, we'll get ANOTHER teen movie about the outcast teenage chick who won one over her mean, bullying classmate. Whatever.
