[LM_NET] Nancy Drew Movie

[Sarah Uthoff <suthoff@MCHSI.COM>]

I finally got to see the new Nancy Drew movie and I urge anyone who ever 
enjoyed reading a Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys or Bobbsey Twins or Trixie Beldon 
book to go. It's been YEARS since I saw a movie so understanding of its source 
material. I came out of the theater just in awe that they got it made with so 
few Hollywood "improvements." About the only thing they added was setting part 
of in Los Angeles, I would have been happier seeing her solve something near 
River Heights with George and Bess in tow, but I suppose running her up 
against "normal" kids was thought needed to add some tension.

Anyway I've heard that crowd turn out has been kind of low around here and I 
hope that you will take this as a prod to action to go see in theater to tell 
Hollywood, this is the kind of movie we want made from books. I hope it's a 
sign that Walden's philosophy are catching on elsewhere.
