What they did to Janet Evanovich with the casting for the only Stephanie Plum movie was sinful. One huge misstep was Debbie Reynolds as Grandma Mazur. Everybody knows that Grandma is the spittin' image of the grandmother on Golden Girls. Joe Morelli and Ranger were not anywhere near as attractive (translate that word to "hot") as Evanovich describes them. As someone who has read every Kinsey and Stephanie novel, I respect Sue Grafton's decision.<br /><br />But then, I understand that Stephen King was not happy with the original filming of THE SHINING, which I still think is a magnificent movie. As a side note, that unforgettable scene of Jack Nicholson frozen with ice dripping from his face at the end is not in the book, and King did not appreciate that addition to his work.Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.com
