Perhaps someone can help... Posted Sun Jan 7 15:42:51 GMT 2001 by 'Radiator Head Child'

Does anyone know if any of Kurt Vonnegut(sorry if that's spelt wrong) Jr.'s books have become films?

Anyone?

Kurt Vonnegut once sat an exam on Kurt Vonnegut.




He failed it.

'Slaughterhouse 5' was made into a film in 1972, but it's impossible to get hold of.

Alan Rudolph did a version of Breakfast of Champions last year with Bruce Willis in.
Never saw it. Not supposed to be that good, but the book's pretty unfilmable.

And there was a Vonnegut thing with Nick Nolte as a n old Nazi recently, wasn't there? That was supposed to be a lot better.

There you go. Second hand information and allusion, no facts at all. That what you were after?

Wasn't that a plot in the film 'Back To School' (starring that fat American bloke with the great big eyes out of Caddyshack)?

The fat American bloke with the great big eyes played a self-made millionaire who went back to school and used his influence and money to cheat his exams - which included hiring Kurt Vonnegut to write an essay about Kurt Vonnegut (he actually made a cameo), but still somehow failed.

But it all turned out okay in the end - he passed the final exams fairly, recaptured the respect of his son, everyone threw their hats in the air and Ned Beatty beamed a big smile.

Bloody rotten film.
