Julianne's Lizard Dream

///

Michael Cunningham's books are amongst my faves, though his last, Specimen Days, was really only half a good book. It was in three parts, and only the first third I thought stood up to his previous work; the second half was good but not great, and the last third... no.

So I find it odd that Julianne Moore has convinced Cunningham to adapt the book for the screen only using the final third. Where she'll play a... lizard woman.

Perhaps he'll be able to condense what really worked about the earlier parts into the final third, and make it palatable. We'll see.

Til then, I am amused by the mental picture I've got, in which Julianne Moore is playing Diana from V.
