Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

if critics consider it one of Scorsese's best works, and Scorsese is just about my favorite director, and I have read and re-read Jane Austen etc. for pleasure again and again my whole life, then why Oh why have I rented this movie twice and been bored almost to death both times? I am turning it off with the counter at 25 minutes. Is it a good movie? or is it a piece of pooh?

Edith Wharton wrote it, not Jane Austen. The movie may be difficult if you have not read the book, otherwise it is one of the more faithful book adaptations I've seen. -- Stbalbach 05:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't say Jane Asten wrote it, I said Jane Austen etc. Meaning only that I am literate. The film may be a faithful adaptation, but it is boring. Scorsese is great, and when he fails he usually makes a glorious failure (like Last Temptation). But this is not a glorious failure. Just a failure. Compare it to polanski's Oliver Twist or whoever's the latest Pride and Predjudice.

p.s., Sorry I defaced the article instead of posting to the discussion. I achieved that with the POWER OF ALCOHOL!
