Infamous

[Feraud]

While doing research for his next book, Truman Capote gets friendly with the murderers. Sound familiar? If the film Capote was not bad enough, I just saw a trailer for an awful looking remake named Infamous. Like Capote, this film will probably make you despise the writer. Unlike the 2005 film, "name" actors get to relive the bandwagon they missed the first time.
Ugh.

Feraud, you didnt care for "Capote"?

I cant believe this film is coming out so soon after "Capote"'s success.

Not at all. I felt Capote (as a film character) cared nothing for anyone but himself and his story. The film plodded along as Capote waited for the killers to be exectued so he could finish his book. From what I remember in the film he could not wait to be rid of them and he had to be hounded to attend the execution. How about those crocodile tears he shed at the execution.. Bah humbug!! That selfish "you know what" would probably have cracked a big smile as soon as he left the prison.
He treated his only friend Harper Lee like garbage at the premier of her film.
I found nothing remotely redeeming about his character in the context of the story.
I am so happy I did not buy the hype and spend good money to see this!
