The Kite Runner Movie
AA
We all know that The Kite Runner was a really good book. And if you're a fan, you probably also know that there is a movie being made about it. I'll check the movie out with the hopes that the saddening, gross, despicable (though critical) part of the book does not go into gruesome detail on the screen. I guess you can say that I'm a skeptical fan of the book. Based on blog entries I made a while ago, I'm basically convinced that the author sold out hardcore on the mumins to tell a story to make some money (i.e. he catered to stereotypes). The relationships, however, between Amir & Hassan was fricken phenomenal as was the relationship between Amir and his dad (Baba). Should be interesting...
Anyway, here's an interesting NYT article (courtesy of my bro Umar) about where the movie (set place mainly in Afghanistan) is being filmed and its commitment to be as authentic as possible: Click.

AJ: Blah, blah, blah. I was "motivated" at the time to read that book. Don't you remember who gave it me? :)
