Query: "I... am a writer!"

Man, I hated that guy the second he got to the podium and said that!A friend of mine lent me his copy of "Wonder Boys" a few years back. This is the book, mind you. I loved the book, so I was interested in seeing the movie when it came out... but I never did. I actually had to borrow the DVD from the same guy who lent me the book in the first place!I was worried that the movie would really deviate from the book and try to sensationalize the murders (the dog... the snake). However, though the snake was omitted, they did not. In fact, aside from the whole story with the auto and the trip up north to his in-laws' house, the movie is pretty accurate to the book. I like how the movie was paced as well. Despite all the zannyness of the book, the film and the actions of the actors came off to me as realistic.Also, I'm glad they shot on location in Pittsburgh. I would hate to see a movie about Pittsburgh (where I'm living now) and it be filmed in Toronto or Indianapolis...
