Talk:Running with Scissors (film)

Untitled

most of the premise is ripped from the back of the book 67.188.43.41)

• That's because it's an adaptation of the book. You see, that means the book is based on the book.66.194.109.193

yeah i realize that, what i mean is that the premise section of the article is basically ripped from the back cover of the book. 67.188.43.41)

Towards the end of the movie, didn't Bookman try to kill the doctor with scissors (thus making the Trivia section need an edit)?

A key aspect of the book is the narrator's progress through adolescence, but the film has one actor, Joseph Cross (age 19) unconvincingly play the central role throughout most of the movie, including scenes where the character is age 12 or 13

That should not be in an encyclopedia. If I can find the correct tag to add the article I will.. otherwise hopefully someone bolder than me reads this page =) Themania 12:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

i have a problem with the divergence from the book section, it says the book says that natalie is fat...as a fat girl myself, i don't see the depiction of natalie in the book as fat, but as a regular sized girl who thinks she is fat —Preceding unsigned comment added by Obfuscationbychoice (talk • contribs) 04:39, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Divergence from Book section

This whole thing is Original Research and should be stricken from the article until something with sources replaces it. 24.24.244.132 (talk) 06:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I am inclined to agree. Or at least all the interpretational bits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtak (talk • contribs) 21:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree too - also, it says there are no instances of running in the book, when in fact there is a key scene where Augusten runs after the bus Bookman has just got onto. But it doesn't really matter anyway because even if it was correct it would still be a pointless observation and shouldn't be in an encyclopaedia. Brianwilsonisgod (talk) 09:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Wtf

Why in hell isn't the main character of the movie in the infobox, while all the other actors are mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.78.113 (talk) 13:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
