The OED on screen?
An article in the Guardian (that I saw on LISNews) asks what reference book people would like to see made into a movie. This is apparently related to the fact that there's going to be a French Women Don't Get Fat movie (which makes me a little disappointed in Hilary Swank). That's not something I would've referred to as a reference book, but whatever. They have their own suggestions and ask what kinds of plotlines they might have. perfectbound says the American Dictionary of Regional English. She hasn't yet provided a plot. For some reason (maybe because I'm looking at them right now as well as chemistry-centric), I'm thinking of Sadtler, an enormous set of volumes of spectral data, but I'm not thinking plot so much as dance. What would your picks be?
