If you know me, you know that my favorite book is The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I could write a bunch of flowery words to tell you how fantabulous it is, but I won’t bore you. Let’s just say it’s a brilliant, hauntingly simple story of a father trying to save his son from the cruel, broken down world. Nuff said. They are making a movie starring Viggo Mortensen, and I am psyched to see it, but after watching the trailer (see below), I am somewhat concerned. The trailer seems to prominently feature Mortensen’s character’s wife (played by Charlize Theron). I’ll be reading the book again to refresh my memory, but I don’t recall her making more than fleeting appearances in the book. In fact, she is dead before the story starts. I’m hoping they didn’t Hollywoodize this story. It is perfect the way it is. I’ll still see it, but God help them if they mess with my favorite book. I’ll… write a really nasty blog post. That’s how I roll. You mess with what I love I get indignant on my blog. Oh, yeah! I will go there! Watch me!
