That's super-cool but I can see why they didn't run with it, it's a bit of a hard left into Zardoz territory :o:

Also, the bits running up the steep ziggurat steps was hugely reminiscent of Bill Barkers SCHWA art...

the difference is that zardoz was visually incompetent. nothing in it approaches that fish person, for example

dark city is a fun scifi movie and i especially like it because it was written as a screenplay first and foremost and you can really tell

film is its own thing and trying to mash novels into it often results in suffering

your argument about why it's bad amounts to a dogmatic assertion that all "straight" adaptations are bad, without any reference to the film itself.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
short stories make better starting points for screenplays in any case

nothing like the constant fear of a drunken idiot (me) blinding you permanently with a toy to put the terror in your halloween heart.

one and two watt lasers are so cheap now you can build a dangerous weapon for less than a couple hundred dollars. you can also use it to light cigarettes, making you even cooler.

so if you're going to wear a sci-fi themed costume this year, spice it up a bit with an irl laser gun. it's a good thing

SHIELD 03 - better than the dull second episode, now that its been signed up for a full season hopefully they can keep the quality building (or at least not getting any worse)

PoI 03 - 'A' story was a bit disjointed with some threads left untied, but the 'B' plot with Root was excellent. Grumpyface killer badguy agent has the worst luck with getting shot :)

hersh is my favorite followed by fusco then root

the best would be a bizzaro finch reese team with root giving orders to hersh after he quits working for the government because he's sick of the shadowy lady ordering him to get beat up by reese
