...conventional screenplay. In last year’s Spike Jonze film, Adaptation, Nicolas Cage plays a writer who is all too aware of this. In trying to adapt Susan Orlean’s book The Orchard Thief into a screenplay, Cage desperately wishes to remain true to the original text rather than stuff the work into a typical Hollywood cliché-fest.

The insertion of an extra chunk of DNA text, usually about 460 letters long, into the promoter makes the animal more likely to bond with its mate. The extra text does not create love, but perhaps it creates the possibility of falling in love after the right experience...
