Fruitless is the right word. In the same way, I'm sure I can not convince you to see the next Lindsay Lohan vehicle.

Very true. I'm very interested in seeing the newest Vin Diesel movie, Find Me Guilty, the one that's supposed to be showing off his acting skill, rather than his pecs.

I've heard that called Short #9.

My housemate has a range of fairly dodgy DVDs; I'm certainly not watching The Core or Stealth.

Marnie wasn't very much fun. And there's Paul Verhoeven's gross mishandling of Starship Troopers. It may be Europeans are temperamentally unsuited to lensing a story so profoundly American and at bottom so libertarian.

I'd like to see at least one Heinlein story made into a good movie. As long as I'm wishing, I think Magic Inc. would make a good movie.

Hi Steve, nice to meet you!

Dar512, I figure The Puppet Masters beat the "Heinlein hoodoo" about adapting his work to film. And don't forget Destination Moon, speaking of which, I'd like to see The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, though it's probably actually easier to make a movie of Time Enough For Love.

Another pipe dream: movie adaptations of Laumer's Retief stories. With scripts that poke a sharp stick into PC squeamoids, deeply and without apology. Some of the alien scenery should film up awful pretty.

I don't want to see The 40yr Old Virgin or either of the Deuce Bigalow movies, or the Animal. So far I have to reason to see a porn flick either.
