I thought the meeting was going to be about weird fiction. The whole film-adaptation thing I completely missed in previous discussions, I guess, because I don't remember knowing about it before I saw the update today. Combining the two seems to me to get pretty obscure. I'm sorry if this was discussed previously; to me right now it seems that we should do one or the other, or have a discussion tightly-framed around specific examples.
