So we&#39;ll see if it makes the cut for 2010.<br /><br />@ Loren - I love Never Let Me Go. And am actually pretty excited about that adaptation.<br /><br />@ Luke - I think &quot;original&quot; products that cut the mustard are becoming more rare. If they&#39;re not adapted from books they&#39;re adapted from something else...a news story, a biography, a history, or even another film. This year&#39;s original story palate was thin.RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-34334974472872667742010-02-09T18:06:37.473-07:002010-02-09T18:06:37.473-07:00I don&#39;t know... I&#39;m pretty partial to original work when it pops up. I can appreciate a great book adaptation any day, but something fresh and original always has a little bit extra going for it.Lukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13607763027974538119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-26231841457640548162010-02-09T12:56:33.150-07:002010-02-09T12:56:33.150-07:00Woah!
