Zooey Deschanel Appreciation Day
Lucinda Rosenfeld's novel What She Saw..., love it though I do, is uniquely unsuitable for adaptation into a motion picture. The book chronicles the life of Phoebe Fine through her relationships with various men, and lacks a consistant thread that could tie together a movie. The sequel, Why She Went Home is more of a coherent novel (What She Saw... is almost a collection of short stories), and though I'm not saying it should happen, it could be successfully translated into a film. It occurs to me that were Why She Went Home to be made into a film, Ms. Deschanel would be well-cast as Phoebe Fine. My inspiration for this thought, though, was seeing Emily Deschanel, Zooey's older sister, in Spider-Man 2. Because if Zooey played Phoebe, Emily would be perfect as Phoebe's older sister Emily. The Deschanel sisters as the Fine sisters. Somewhere, Jason Barry Gold is very happy....
