This pretty much negates the need for a cool meter, it cannot be measured by mere coolness. This kind of news elevates it to something else entirely.

[SIZE="3"]I just read the Argento-ized script. Most the events from the story are there, but a load of sex has been added, the tone darkened, and all the characters have become sleazeballs. Not that my characters were in any way virtuous, but superficially they were regular people who happened to be involved in a heinous industry. The end has been changed, destroying the symmetry and thus the point of the story. The rewrite is much more typical of MoH fare.
Ah, well. This is what you've got to be ready for when you sign away those film rights. Maybe they'll include the text of the story on the DVD (as they're doing with "Dreams in the Witch House").
I'll be heading up to Vancouver on the 18th to spend a couple of days on the set.[/SIZE]

Or just smile and silently hand him a copy of "Cuts".

AARGH! I don't get Showtime! Please, Please, Please! When it comes on, someone tape on VHS or DVD or whatever. I'll send a blank to replace it. I'm going to hate that I can't see it.

Kenji, Showtime is a cable subscription channel that we are not subscribed too.
Pelts will not be in theaters and it will be forever, if ever, when it comes out on DVD.
Our bad luck

Really?!?! :eek: Without theatrical release, they make it for DVD? If it's true, bummer!
