"Seeing your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes."
- John Le Carré via @jackshafer (via soupsoup)I think he intends this critically….?
Also: the Variety article that cited the (purported) quote concerns the new version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which stars Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch, among others. I’m still getting used to seeing Colin Firth cast as middle-aged/possibly frumpy.
