The movie stars are prettier than the book characters but his life growing up was that crazy from what I've read.<br /><br />Reading Simon Doonan's The Beautiful People (previously published as Nasty) which has similar humor but is lighter in overall tone. Doesn't seem quite as dark somehow though if you think about some of it, it could have been. All about the POV.<br /><br />Have fun at Whip It! I really enjoyed it. Tempted to see it in the theater again.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726206.post-8899817479491204502009-10-09T20:20:59.982-07:002009-10-09T20:20:59.982-07:00I haven't read Running With Scissors--I think ...I haven't read Running With Scissors--I think I was put off by the movie, which I thought was over-the-top and kind of in love with its own quirk.

I saw all my Broadway shows during HS. A quick look at ALW's site and I think Starlight Express is the only other one of his I saw. That one was at a closer local theater, i.e. not NYC & during middle school, and I loved it. Rollerskates, yea! Gay much? ;)<br /><br />"I’m interested in the intersection of things that are dark and things that are wholesome, and what is lost if you veer too far toward one or the other. I’m trying to write stuff that’s more intense and magical than stuff I’ve written before."<br /><br />Very cool. You've read Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs, right? Not novelly like you write, but that sense of light meets dark with magical thinking.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.com
