Half a Movie is better than None 9

[hjgoldstein]

I was just browsing "stuff" and foud out that the movie "Three Days of the Condor" is based on the book "Six days of the Condor".

It seems that it was too long to make a movie spanning six days of action and suspense.

Can you think of any other movies which would benefit from similar treatment?

Lets start with "The Magnificent Three-and-a-Half" or possibly "The Slightly Soiled Six"

Aspiring to mediocrity since 1957

In a somewhat similar manner, consider Victor Borge's inflationary language, where the numeric sound in prose is incriminated by one, so wonderful becomes twodreful and before would be befive.

Wasn't that how 24 (the tv series) was made out of 48 Hrs.?

Talking about tv series, how about “one and a ¼ men”?

Have fun.

Well, in regard of tv series, how about "Imperial"?

>'992'
Well, not taking into account the big bang as starting point for time.
But then you forgot

And how about

"Two Weddings and half a funeral" is my favorite so far.
