Markets in everything, *not*

Ten movies that were never made, and why not.  The Schwarznegger-Verhoeven Crusade intrigues me most.

The one that interests me the most is "A Confederacy of Dunces". I agree that it's the funniest book ever written (a close second is Mario Vargas Llosa's "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter", which unfortunately did not translate well to the screen). Most of the actors I imagine playing the characters in Confederacy of Dunces are dead. John Candy would have been perfect as Ignatius Reilly. Ruth Gordon as his mother. Chris Rock might work as Burma Jones, but who could you get to play the all important Miss Trixie?

"The Schwarznegger-Verhoeven _Crusade_ intrigues me most."

wouldn't that have just been flesh & blood 2 (w/ schwarzenegger instead of rutger hauer)?

btw, total recall 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Recall#Themes - "director Verhoeven and star Schwarzenegger discuss how they wanted to do a sequel (which later became _Minority Report_), using Quaid as the hero of a firm that uses psychics (Martian mutants brought back to Earth for the proposed Verhoeven/Schwarzenegger sequel, Precogs in the Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise film) to solve crimes before they happen"

要做翻译就需要翻译公司,在中国,当然要找上海翻译公司,在北方就需要北京翻译公司了。如果到新疆旅游,可以通过新疆租车公司,并且在翻译论坛上找一些伙伴。另外,大家谁知道哪里有免费在线翻译啊?我可以提供相应的友情链接噢~
