This exact argument is one of the reasons that I love "Once" so much. It's been transformed from a filmic language to a theatrical one. It is very much a creature of the theater. I'm not opposed to screen to stage adaptations if the people engaged to handle the transfer can give the property a reason to exist as a play. When I walk out of a show wishing that I had just rented the movie for $4.00 instead of dropping $80.00+, I get upset.
