Re: The Lovely Bones: Best Picture 2009 I didn't know about the dismemberment bit.
What exactly is a personalized heaven?

Re: The Lovely Bones: Best Picture 2009 loyalfromlondon wrote: Is it like What Dreams May Come? No. The movie is less about Susie than her family. And there are not scenes of her walking all over Heaven or something like that, unless Peter Jackson adds that kind of thing. The VAST majority of the novel takes place on Earth.

*Potential Spoilers* DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.Huh? What do you mean there are not scenes of her walking all over Heaven? I remember there being plenty of "scenes" in the book with Susie exploring her personal heaven and talking about how it expanded when she thought of new things, and whatnot. There's also the woman who acts as Susie's "mentor" so to speak up in her heaven, and also her heaven-friend. If Jackson doesn't put in "heaven" scenes, then he'll be cutting all that out which was in the book. Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying. Also, I could be a little off, I'm trying to remember the book as best as possible, it's been a while.  Peace, Mike

I guess I forgot about the scenes you're describing.

Re: The Lovely Bones: Best Picture 2009 Mark Wahlberg will find a way to fuck this up.
And if he doesn't, Peter Jackson will.

Re: The Lovely Bones: Best Picture 2009 The delay of the film came mainly because of the heaven scenes.
