The Mad American Wrote:OK, just to add my 2 cents to this discussion. I really enjoy all the Preston and Child books. I think I liked Ice Limit the most but the Pendergrast books are right there.
As for someone to play Pendergrast in a movie...ok now stay with me here. David Bowie. The guy can act and he fits the bill physically. Although he could just as well play Diogenes (sp?) with the two different colored eyes and all.
I'm liking Relic. It is pretty intense. I liked the movie also (in it's own right, not great but good), though I don't think there is a Pendergrast character. Tom Sizemore played D'Agosta, and Penelope Ann Miller played Margo. Those were pretty good castings, imo. And, yeah, Bowie rocks!
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
