Reality Check If Herman Melville had pitched Moby Dick in the present day: we could keep the ship... What if he is on a cruise and finds love? Or, what if he had a wacky neighbor? Or, and this is just me putting it out there... What if he was a vampire? They are still hot! Or zombies, zombies are cool! Moby Dead? We love what you've done... But I'm not sure if we should have the whale. We don't want to offend the whole save the whales crowd!
