i want the movie to be made, already. and i want it to be 5 hours long so that it doesnt suck. even if it has to be done by Pixar as a CG cartoon, i want it.

3 years and it's only still a glimmer? talk about resurrection.

I have a hard time picturing this not sucking, but it could be done. I'd shoot it to look like the 30's to create that atmosphere...

That could work.

I am pretty excited about this movie. It's one of my all-time favorite sci-fi books. Speaking of Orson Scott Card, I started reading his book "Empire" while on the plane from Vietnam to America. It's a post 9/11 story that happens in America. It starts with a huge hole being blown into the side of the White House that kills the President, Vice-President, Secretary of State, and the Joint Chiefs.

Oh how I've wished for someone to pull that trick off for the last 7 years.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

We'd like to hear more about your wishes. We'll be right over.

Come on over. It turns out it's not against the law to wish for that kind of stuff; only to plan it or do it.

We first started talking about this just about 8 years ago.

I have the book on my Nook, but have yet to read it. I wonder if I should or wait till after the movie.

DanaC · 03-05-2013, 05:05 PM

That's a book I always kind of planned to read sometime and never got around too. Then just recently I read some stuff about te author and it totally put me off.

No no no no no. Read the book. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead are both well worth reading. The remainder I found to be a bit weird.

The author is a massive asshole, but Ender's Game is excellent.
