I don't have anything against "Push" but the plot summary of "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" sounds new and different (and dare I say, a little more uplifting). <BR/><BR/>To be honest, I have a special place in my heart for HBO after "The Wire," which I loved. But would it have been nice to seem them make a film by a black literary author - certainly, yes.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067322036695571575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428262663623493707.post-66272881656191216812009-02-17T11:30:00.000-05:002009-02-17T11:30:00.000-05:00The series was written by a white Scottish author....The series was written by a white Scottish author. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully HBO will actually nurture and stick with the project. I actually think it might have a better shot as premium TV than as a feature film. The audience for softer, indie adult films with black leads can be tough to get.Mildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261542813686725503noreply@blogger.com
