No need to scrap the movie version! Haven’t the Warner brass seen Tristram Shandy? Of course aMilLitPee should still be a movie—about Frey’s constantly interfering fantasy life, Giant Superego Oprah (played, with FX, by herself), the actor playing Frey, Frey himself in lots of cameos (American Splendor), angry critics and publishers played by better-looking actors, lots of swirly drug moments with a good indie-rock soundtrack, and, sure, rehab. Shattered Glass meets Zelig meets Play It Again, Sam meets Prozac Nation meets Eternal Sunshine meets Donnie Darko, and it can’t fail.
