Looks pretty interesting. Great cast.

It does look really good. I just hope they stick close to the book (which was a great read).

All you had to say was Ryan Murphy. Good looking trailer. Sold.

Well, the book was quite sexual in parts. And not the "conventional" type. Like "Less Than Zero", I doubt they'll stick too close to the book.

It's not that I want some porno type film or anything, but those parts give substance to certain characters in the book. The actor playing Augusten is/was, I believe, 18 when he filmed so I think they could "get away" with a few things.

Although the film looks good, I am more anticipated in viewing it to see what changes were made moreso than for entertainment value.

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Yep, I'm still really excited about it. The debut feature from the creator of Nip/Tuck. An astounding cast. Based on one of my favorite books. I really, really hope this one doesn't go wrong.
