| by Taylor Mike Nichols, his work I sincerely enjoy. His energy I admire. What I like most about the talented man, his vision. And how he allows us to see his work. I'm just not easily impressed. He impresses the HELL out of me. Have you seen Wit? Not many different shots, but man, he showed the woman's life to me and me only. That's how it made me feel. That's compelling! Yes, the writing crucial. I just want to know, how the hell can I send correspondence to his office? Is there an address where I can reach this man? I am a young, aspiring film director. I KNOW IN MY MIND, WE"LL WORK TOGETHER SOMEDAY...REAL SOON. Can anyone help me? Taylor Comment on this... |

| by Diane I have read and read and read and loved Catch-22 it is my favorite book of all time, and when I heard that there was a movie I ran to get it, however it was probably one of the worst movie versions of a book I have ever seen, especially of one as wonderful as Catch-22. The other night while sitting through class I learned that the 90 some minute version was not entirely of Nichols' doing infact he already felt as though he was compromising the book by presenting a four hour version of the eight hour movie that he had filmed. Judging by alot of the other films that he has directed I know that he is a great director, and I would very much enjoy seeign this extended version of Catch-22. I wish I knew how to find his address or something like that because he needs to release a director's cut of Catch-22 because the Butchered movie panned by everyone, and for good reason, needs to prove that it is much better as the artists vision and not the producers pc money maker. Mike Nichols if you ever read forums like this please please please do this. Do some justice to the book and to your artistic vision. Put out a director's cut of either your 4 hour cut or (even better) the 8 hour one. Catch-22 is a long and complicated book and the only way to do it justice is, I am sure as you did but never had the chance to release. thanks Comment on this... | ||||
