Well, it was just a thought. A lot of people (such as me) have strong emotional attachments to certain films and film characters, and I thought a forum to discuss them would be fun and enlightening. For example, when I chose my posting name, it was not merely the Atticus Finch of the book "To Kill a Mockingbird"; it is very specifically the Gregory Peck interpretation in the Oscar-winning film to which I'm attached and which I admire (and even aspire to be more like, to whatever degree I can). As long as you make it clear that the discussion of films and film characters, whether based on printed literature or not, is kosher on Writing, there's no need to create a new page. But I do think my generation is much more geared to respond to visual storytelling -- despite the fact that I love to write. If it's OK to bring up movies on Books, please let me know. Atticus
