just imagine all the butthurt
Sebastian Hernandez
Kafka or Goethes Faust Part 1
Levi Gonzalez
I love this book, but I don't know how great a movie it would be.
A faithful adaptation of Pop. 1280 would be cool.
Joseph Turner
They would cast Sarah Silverman as Myrna and it would be immediately ruined.
Hunter Peterson

>am not amused once in 100 or so pages
>give up on it and feel bad
who else knows this feel

>What other books would make great kino?
Kevin Rodriguez
Yeah, there's a good chance some hollywood bigwig would totally fuck it up. But as a smaller budget indie cult comedy along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite I think it could be great. Under the right director, Galifinakis has the potential to be a hilarious Ignatius.
John Miller
Ai dooo ai dooo!
Eli Ward
shit man I read Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer" and liked that. b-brainlets don't do that!
Camden Johnson
You just have pleb taste then, which is equally bad
Xavier Jones
It would ruin this board desu. Ignatius is Sup Forums incarnate.
Christopher Parker
I think Zach is skinny now and probably too old. John Gemberling would be ok as Ignatius I think.
Elijah Howard
What about me guys?
Jacob Sullivan
Only the Coens could bring early 60's New Orleans to life.
But casting would be a bitch as stated above if Sarah Silverman gets Myrna or Kevin James(Paul Blart) or Seth Rogen gets Ignatius it'll be a dumpster fire.
Easton Russell
It's my favorite novel but I'm incredibly biased because I'm from New Orleans and I go to Tulane. I'm also a massive pseudophilosophical sperg
Austin Jackson
dear god no, are these all the funny fat guys we have available?
How about a serious fat guy who can "act".
Does it even need to be a comedy?
Connor Walker
Actually, I think it would turn out better if it wasn't approached as a comedy at all. The humor in the book is in Ignatius's ridiculous character, not witty dialogue or pratfalls. He should definitely be cast for talent, not for "le funny fat man".
Parker Williams
Myrna was obnoxious and self righteous. It would be perfect casting
Bentley Hall
I want Armando Iannucci to adapt A Confederacy Of Dunces.
Alexander Ortiz
Nick Offerman played Ignatius in a play. Just get him.
Elijah Walker
I want a Swedish version of Vineland where they're proggare instead of hippies and the stakes are way lower.
Eli Price
I'd watch it, but only because this is the worst casting i've seen in my life.
Marmeladov would be a career high for anyone who played him. Would have loved to see PSH in that role tho.
Nathaniel Scott
I agree entirely. That's another reason I would like to see the Coens do it, not only can they do American period pieces but the way they approach comedy.
The bank robbery scene in Raising Arizona is a prime example of the character driven comedy they excel at.

Fargo itself isn't a comedy but there are many humorous parts, it's that small town vibe only they can seem to do.
Carson Gutierrez
Since it basically turns into nothing but words later on I'm going to count it as a book.
Isaiah Fisher
>becomes a roach
>spend the rest of his days crawling around until he dies
The protagonist is fucking stupid, there was dozens of ways he could communicate with his family
Austin Allen
Justin Butler
Iannucci and Coens would both make a great film but kowing Hollywood they'd have Paul Feig make it.
Nathan Myers
>Confederacy of Dunces with Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman, directed by Paul Feig
This is making me furious just thinking about it.
Hunter Brooks
Both already have film adaptations
Henry Nelson
>Melissa MacCarthy as Ignatius
Michael Gonzalez
Christopher Parker
>Amy Schumer in drag
Jackson Nguyen
It's terrifying and ironic considering how ITR would react to such a movie.
Sebastian Young
Finally the all female Confederacy Of Dunces that the public wants.
Jose Roberts
Oprah as Mrs.Reilly

>All of the comically exaggerated ebonics
All the shit like that is why I think CoD couldn't get made into a movie today without being completely neutered.
Dominic Evans
They would turn it into a plain looking zach galifianakis normie type of movie
Blake Nguyen
Nobody on earth who is remotely successful has nearly enough balls to make a Cerebus adaptation with a good budget without censoring a ton of shit or just straight up skipping parts.
Benjamin Cooper
Wyatt James
>muh sikrit book
it's a popular pulitzer prize winner with millions of copies in print. It's normie af.
Leo Green
>they adapted the worst Flashman book
what did they mean by this?
James Wright
Books aren't the same type of popular as normie popular movies, unless you count shit like Harry Potter or Ready Player One which isn't comparable.
Joseph Reed
See too much of yourself in Ignatius?
Brandon Taylor
I saw way too much of myself in Ignatius and I fucking loved it.
Benjamin Perez
Same. It was an incredible first read.
Anthony Lopez
