I...I saw it last night, and was suitably impressed. I'm not really in agreement with the blog author however that, "Another problem....Rand's novel is set in an imaginary future. Since this was a very low-budget production, there wasn't much money for funding any whiz-bang future. So the future looks like....now, but with lots of trains."<br /><br />It's a near future Rightcoastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-41629164643185544922011-04-17T21:33:37.331-05:002011-04-17T21:33:37.331-05:00I saw it today and I thought it was fairly good, v...I saw it today and I thought it was fairly good, very true to the book which was both a bonus and a curse, the bonus because it allowed many of the ideas in the book to be presented, a curse because like the book at times it was slow and wordy and had a feel of a soap opera.Festerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282789796125211475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-9575681775017216442011-04-17T17:42:57.770-05:002011-04-17T17:42:57.770-05:00What I'm hoping is that they'll make enoug...What I'm hoping is that they'll make enough money on the first one to double the budget on the 2nd one. I hope the 2nd installment is succesful enough to do the same for the 3rd. <br />Then I hope that they've made enough money on the whole thing to go back and do it 100% right. <br /><br />Also, TLG, I don't know if you made it to the Main Street Arts festival in Fort Worth The Whited Sepulchrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657366124122012622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-15990496496986218522011-04-16T19:20:38.008-05:002011-04-16T19:20:38.008-05:00The transition in your observations from, "th...The transition in your observations from, "<i>they didn't screw it up,</i>" to " <i>they didn't totally screw it up,</i>" speaks volumes.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked it, but I think I'll give it a miss.Dr Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11315005375209513833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-68972582340196532222011-04-16T19:16:52.475-05:002011-04-16T19:16:52.475-05:00I have not heard any really raving reviews, but I ...I have not heard any really raving reviews, but I hope the movie does well.

And I wondered what the deal was with the coupons. I asked a friend in the wine biz to donate a case of wine for a silent auction. He said that TABC rules prohibited him from doing so, but he could sell it to me for an outlandishly low cost and I could do whatever I wanted with it.
