Jonathan Franzen's disillusioned-30-something bible The Corrections is, of course, being made into a movie. According to a screenplay review at FilmJerk.com, the movie will be a towering pile of crap. (Noted: the reviewer loved the book, so maybe he's living in backwards-land and the script is brilliant.) "Adapting Jonathan Franzen s 'The Corrections' is an act of futility," the review begins. (Actually, it's more an act of finance-ality, but whatever.) "You can t blame [scriptwriter David] Hare for failing. Almost anyone would. You can blame him for how he failed. This is a phoned-in work. This is typing and not writing. This is a lazy attempt that doesn t even try to make something meaningful of itself."
