btw, I HATED that movie.
You and Mary Gaitskill who wrote the short story on which it was based. I did not hate it, but was interested in how much they changed it from the original piece.
Of course they had to go and botch the whole thing. Such a shame. Maybe it's because I can't stand looking at Baggie Maggie.
I liked it!!
was A Time to Kill rejected after or before he had published other books? i'd be floored if it was after.
i liked the movie and the story. but what's so baggy about maggie, other than the cheeks? everyone gets saddle bag cheeks eventually.
Stop the hating. Maggie is awesome!
I liked the movie too, but agree it's very different from the short story, which I only just read.
