Just finished reading REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelby Van Pelt and it was so good my first thought was “It would make a great movie.” But wait!  The main character is a giant Pacific octopus.  Where would we find an octopus willing to take on the part?  What octopus would want to slave under the hot lights?  Would we have to have 8 copies of his contract? And how would we pay him?  With giant fistfuls of herring? Oh boy.
