I'm not watching anything in it with the word 'Facial' in the title.

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.

dude. that's crazy talk. i don't know whether to hope that you've seen it, and somehow thought it was unfunny, or that you're just sick of all the quotes, and won't watch it out of spite....but in any case, i urge you to reconsider. this flick is up there with anchorman, the yprincess bride...and, yes, the holy grail in terms of re-watchability. i recommend that all dwellars buy a copy. not rent, mind you......buy. i give it 5 out of 5 typing monkeys.

That's pretty much it.

I was a Will Farrel fan until I saw Anchorman. Now I'm not so sure.

Princess Bride was great, so if you think it's on par with that, then maybe I'll see it.

I've seen all Kevin Smith's movies . . . EXCEPT Jersey Girl. (No plans to either.)

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.
