Movie was based off 2007 pithy/ cleaver memoir Train Wreck

People should know, Movie was based off 2007 pithy/ cleaver but ultimately weak memoir Train Wreck, ( on Amazon reviewed by kirkus ect) writen by me Jeff Nichols,published by Simon and Shuster a top five publisher. The only reviewer that recognizes this it Variety cuz their prose. There a lot of funny stuff in memoir ( read free sample) , despite weak narrative; basically I over came very little to achieve nothing. Esp compared to... say Ray Charles who was blind, broke and black in the deep south in 1950, only to become a beloved national.icon. This was not me, for sure Movie left out special ED bording schools, that take up 30 percent of book, prepubescent gay sex; and massive drug abuse. The amount of drugs I did would have created problems in work force and obsticals to the establishment. As the film stands now, Jeff's obsticals are unknown ( not shown) so audience can't get behind protagonist and route for him. Just s bunch of sad scenes, burning the house down is a funny ass story, they made it essentially sad. The LA fires were Sad toput things into perspective, George burning down a country house was done on Seinfeld for christ sake. Executive director had a morbid streak that tempered movies ability to help others through humor. I'm a funny, mfler Google Jeff nichols comedian. I was Not the best stand up, but youl get the idea , and see the major miss. Formula: Bad book makes bad movie.
