Lament Lemeul

I've just seen the trailer for this Christmas' family comedy "Gulliver's Travels". That's right folks, you read that right.
They're doing it as a family comedy.

With Jack Black.

In a modern American City (I'm guessing New York) and heading to the Bermuda Triangle.



If it's not bad enough that they're completely ruining the satirical nature of Swift's masterpiece, the sight of Mssr Black lying down with the Liliputlians roping him to the floor and his Converse sticking out of the end just sends shivers down my spine.

Leave it alone! Don't adapt it. A film of the book, where the pioneering men of that day and age could actually expect to come across forgotten and undiscovered peoples would be exquisite.

Please. No more of Black gurning at the screen and ruining a classic.



What do you guys think?
