Do you think making a movie out of Confederacy of Dunces might be interesting? Give your honest opinion.

Sure

The only movies that get made now are oscar bait or superhero movies. If it was a straightfaced comedy about some /r9k/ type I guess it would be ok, but lets face, this generation of directors are either James Franco or Zack Snyder types, and neither are going to make a subtle comedy about overeducated delusional mysoginistic NEETs

no. the book wasn't interesting, so why would a movie be? "oh, lol he jerked off to his dog" fuckin plebs, i swear. the guy had to kill himself before he even got published, the DFW of his time. if you fucks had Veeky Forums back then you'd be meming it into oblivion.

Stop pretending like ignatius was anything like the pathetic ressentiment-fueled support group /r9k/.

No. I can tell give you 50 interesting american films made in the last 10 years that are none of these.

I'm obviously considering the situation where the film is directed and written by a great team.

If Ignatius was born in 1986 he would have been baiting women on twitter, playing WoW and eating cheetos. Just because he was exposed at an early age to Boethius doesnt mean that he is any different then your typical /r9k/ type nowadays.

If it took place today he would be citing Schopenhauer.

t. triggered frog folk

Ignatius didn't hate women more than anyone else. Also, he didn't need an online circle jerk to validate his beliefs.

He was at least authentic in his ressentiment

Schopenhauer was already around in 1967 or whenever this was written. If Ignatius was alive today he would an aspergic suicidal NEET living with his mother and attending the job centre once every two week's to pretend he attended that interview they sorted out for him and would spend his time fapping to Sue Lightning and Lanita Hot and shitposting on Veeky Forums, /pol/ and /r9k/ and occasionally experiencing brief periods wherein he felt convinced that he was a genius.
