Talk:Alex Garland

message: I have rewritten the first paragraph and the start of the second paragraph. The following text appears to have been lifted from http://www.spikemagazine.com/0599alexgarland.php
: Alex Garland (born 1970) is a British novelist, the son of the well-known and respected political cartoonist, Nick Garland. With a resolutely middle-class and intellectual background, he attended University College School, Hampstead and later graduated from Manchester University with a degree in History of Art. He was planning on following in his father's footsteps before he realized: "There aren't many openings for a cartoonist." Instead, he turned his attention to fiction, and started writing The Beach when he was just 23, drawing on his many experiences of travelling. He first went to India when he was 17 on a school trip, and he now makes several visits to South East Asia per year.

I don't know how to fix this exactly, the only thing showing is Sunshine and I don't want to mess anything up. Help?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azeotrope288391 (talk • contribs) 04:46, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Next film

message: The Beach was initially met with positive reviews, and with a spreading word of mouth response the novel grew into a cult classic.
That reads as if "cult classic" is a synonym for "best seller".  Well, that's what the term is often loosely used to mean these days; anything that sells well is immediately branded a "cult classic".  But is that what we actually mean here?  There's more to a cult classic than something that sells a lot of copies.  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:42, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

message: It says on the entry that Garland may possibly direct The Tourist (infamous unproduced script by Clair Noto), but it's unsourced and I can't find anything about it in a quick Google search. Anybody know anything? If not I'm gonna nix it from the page. PcPrincipal (talk) 21:33, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
