The old high school prom scene and varsity jacket was the final straw for me. Campy I can deal with, beyond stupid I cannot accept.

A few years back, maybe 10 or more, I went to one of Brooks' book signings. There was a Q&A and the impression I got at the time was that it's all about the money for him. He was asked about movie/TV adaptations about his work and basically said, if they pay him for the rights, they can do what they wish. I remember being surprised at the time thinking that he would have more of an attachment to the worlds that he created instead of a "show me the money" attitude. Now, not so much.
