I read the script for "Next" - wasn't impressed myself.

Speaking of good films, and speaking of Philip K. Dick, I have to say that "A Scanner Darkly" is one of the best I've seen in a long while. And it's only three quid in HMV!

I was put off Phillip K dick after reading the man who lived in high castle. The ending was just "oh well". Did he run out of ideas to the end. Speaking of books with Nazi's in I would like to see father land made in to a film.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

I rather enjoyed I Am Legend but there are a lot of flaws which rear their heads immediately after the credits. For a thoroughly good laugh at just about any recent film check out www.the-editing-room.com

I watched it last night. I have never read the book and not watched the older version. I liked a few points it tried to make: there is too much noise in our modern society and that we can't hear our spirituality, don't blame a God for our own messups and finally the cure is in the blood. I never even read a review but it struck me as a deeply theological film basted in mild horror and action. Is this theological bent even stronger in the book?

Speaking of Nazi books, anyone tried a Mein Kampf book test?

Mein Kempf was Hitlers autobiography and a book test is a mentalism effect where you divine a word usually from with in the book. There are 1000s of book test.

Mein Kempf is also one of the biggest selling books in Arabic too.

True, most filmmakers have a knack for screwing up a good story

The movie missed the entire point of the book in the first place. What's with all this 'He found a cure, and THAT's why he's a legend' c*** (not the best)?
