				<title>It should be a Movie! (or tv series)</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I think there was a thread like this a while back but i thought i would resurrect it. Which book/Album/Tv series/Radio serial/Videogame/Comic would make a great movie or tv show that hasn't been adapted(well) already?<br /> <br /> My Nominations are:<br /> <br /> The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. One of my favourite books, it would make a brilliant movie. Its only short so i'd recommend you hunt it down if you haven't read it.<br /> <br /> The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend. It is my favourite Book series and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(72);'>IMO</span> only gets better as Adrian Ages, Sue Townsend is a comic genius and the fact she has NAILED the Male psyche shows how simplistic we truly are <img src="/s/i/a/baf5f2e54c6b17d5c5d39aecadfa1272.gif" border="0">. Though it has alot of topical gags it would make a great Long running tv show. The only problem of course is the fact Adrian would have to Age. And yes i am aware of a TV adaptation in the 80's.<br /> <br /> Ex Machina. Easily the best comic book series i have read, i think it would make a fantastic TV series. Again it has alot of topical content but 'period' seems to be all the rage in tv <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(258);'>atm</span>.<br /> <br /> Player or Games by Iain M Banks. I have a soft spot for Consider Phlebas but i think this novel would be the best introduction to 'the Culture'. The next movie would be Use of Weapons not that they have any recurring characters <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(84);'>lol</span>. PoG is the most Gimmicky/Filmable; having the whole Azad framing device (Its basically the most complicated game in the galaxy and is so important to the (tri-gender) race that created it they named themselves after it) and character arc of the Protaganist and his drone.<br /> <br /> Hazards Of Love by The Decemberists. This <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(291);'>LP</span> concept album would make a fantastic Musical. ]]></description>
