| I was reading a post about ML jr's movies in the TV & Movie Section, and it reminded me that I forgot to post this. When I was at Border's last weekend, I saw a book written by ML jr and Tracie Peterson, called "One More Sunrise." I picked it up because I'm always looking for new things to read (since I don't have to read stuff for school anymore  LOL), and the fact that he wrote it intrigued me a bit. Haven't started it yet, but here's a link to it at BarnesandNobles.com, where I'm also browsing at the moment:
One More Sunrise

| Now that looks like a book I'd like to read. I had no idea he was an author. He really has alot of his fathers ideas in inspirational stories. Thanks for sharing.

He's probably not. Since a co-author is mentioned, she's might be his ghostwriter. Sometimes they are credited and other times they aren't. I know, I shouldn't be pessimistic, but I'm still in a snit over that nasty movie he made about his dad.

Several years ago, he produced and directed a CBS (I think) movie titled, "The Father I Knew". It portrayed Michael Sr. in a bad light, blaming him for Leslie's bulimia, making him seem unolving and selfish because of his break up with Lynn, and just really trashed his reputation. As I mentioned in another thread, it's one thing to do that when his father was alive tand could defend himself, but it seem like a cowardly act to wait until he was dead to produce it.
I'm not saying I believe that Michael Sr. was a saint who did no wrong, only that I didn't think the movie was unfair after Michael's death.
Oh, and John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard, Dr. Quinn, Smallville) played Michael Sr. and he had the world's worst wig. So right there, the movie was a total injustice. Not to mention that John was way too tall to be playing Michael Landon. I really liked John Schneider until he took on this role.

| I never saw that movie thankfully. I love Michael, John and also the works of Michael Jr. I guess this movie is kinda the same as Ghost in the Little House. I'll stay away from it so my love of these men and their works won't be ruined.
