End Zone

Wow. If IMDB is correct, it looks like the first Don DeLillo novel to be made into a feature film will be one of my top 10 favorite novels, End Zone. I don't think I can convey the groovy 70's slacker vibe, the exuberant play-by-play West Texas football action, the wacko psyche-up dialogue ("They're out to get us. They'll bleach our skulls with hydrosulfite.") and the nuclear war anxiety that go into making this book one of the funniest things I've ever read.
Unfortunately, I don't think a Josh Hartnett movie can convey all that either. But who knows.
