Make Me a Movie

There are few books from my child that I would like to see made into movies, primarily because, well, they would be massacred. But since I've reverted back to my childhood reading level, I've started reading all my old Encyclopedia Brown books again. And honestly, I think they would make an awesome movie.

Now, I don't mean that I want a Nancy Drew sort of movie from a few years back, because frankly, it just wasn't as magical as it should have been.

Encyclopedia Brown would need to have that awesome, untainted 60's vibe. Not all modern and zazzly like they tried to make Nancy Drew. And by the way, Nancy was 18 years old and lived in the 1930's, so what are you doing with 14 year old girls in 2007? I'm so sorry the movie creators tried to fit you in there.
I've obviously been long-harboring this since...ok let's be honest...IT WAS AWFUL. Complete destruction of a classic character. And what is titian-haired Nancy Drew without an accurately plump Bess and athletic George? They made George, Georgie? I just don't...I can't....AUGH.
I'm still waiting for a real Nancy Drew to come out.

But back to my original rant...

Awe...look how cute his little flood pants and sweater are!

The only issue is that they would probably choose some well known child actor to play him and then I would have to revolt.
So, let's get on that, indie director/producer/movie creator that I know is out there somewhere.

On a related note...
Beezus and Ramona? Seriously? Ramona is the biggest beezy in all of children's literature. I would have strangled her and gladly accepted my life sentence in prison just to rid the world of her.

I'm going to make it my personal vendetta to torch all the movie reels when it comes out.
