Jesus Christ on a Crutch! They neutered the entire point of the book and the thing that makes it brilliant.

Now I'll definitely have to see it on DVD to judge if they replaced with something that still plays well (and only sounds stupid in comparison to the source). I've always said I don't see how a good faithful adaptation can be made since so much of the book is purely internal to the protagonist, but still, if you aren't going to keep that part, why adapt the book?
