Please feel free to email us your comments about the stories or the site. We'll post our favorite ones here. Send email to editor@popcornfiction.com. Dear Editor,
"Pusher." Good tale, good spin and well written. Worthy of an "Alfred Hitchcock" episode. I'll have to start watching The Firm if Ben writes for it. Larry DH: Thanks for writing in Larry… yes, I thoroughly enjoyed Ben Lee's story about the man who pushes. There's a great character in a Stephen King Dark Tower book called the Pusher who comes up behind and pushes people into cars or subways when they're just standing on the curb. That always stuck with me… nice to see Ben change the meaning once again. Dear Editor,
I must admit that I had to chew on it a bit, but once the penny dropped, Ben Lee's "Pusher" was a smart, timely, incredibly satisfying read. You probably can't print this bit, but I can't resist: if this story ever morphs into a motion picture, I suggest casting Calista Gingrich as the queen, her hubby Newt and his nemesis Mitt in multiple roles as the Circle jerks (couldn't resist, again!), Rick Santorum in a bit part as the glitter-wearing, cheating spouse, and (who else?) Joe Biden as, well, Joe. Can't wait to see "Pusher" on the silver screen! Thanks, PopFic, for adding zing to my Mondays. Heidi DH: I hope we'll see it on a silver screen soon as well. (I doubt Hollywood will go with your casting though some studio exec is laughing right now about the thought.) Thanks Heidi. DH: Speaking of the silver screen, Eric Heisserer is currently prepping his movie "Hours" based on his short story published right here. I believe it will be the first story adapted to film. For those of you who have asked about "Shake" over the year, we are turning in a new draft to Bruckheimer next week and then we hope it will start coming together… I will definitely try to get the story back up on the site in the next couple of months for those who never got a chance to read it. Fingers crossed! See you next week. |
