I have several female cohorts that rail against "Friday," one of my favorites.<BR/><BR/>I mentioned to you before the the Starship Troopers flick was OK if one had not read or had forgotten the novel. Camp can be good for the soul.<BR/><BR/>Heinlein's novels do not translate to the silver screen. "Stranger" would be a disaster in any land. "Friday" might be made, but also damaged. Forget about "Cats" or "Moon," they are untouchableby film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-42461111658515304262007-10-11T17:31:00.000-04:002007-10-11T17:31:00.000-04:00Big Heinlien fan here!

You even see little strains of that in the stupid movie. <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, good post. I wondered about HALO and Troopers myself. I'm a "beginning" gamer, but I wonder what's next. A game about some dudes chasing a white whale? It will called "Whale Bane," and the creator will boast of his creativity, originality and million dollar bonus at Comic-Con! When someone mentions "Moby Dick" everyone can shout that person down and call them "old."

Now that you have shamed me, I'm going to hit the li-berry--we still have a card due to our kid--and find it. I'm assuming it's in the same vein as Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury? My wife reads Octavia Butler. <BR/><BR/>NYC: I can attest to that stay home from work or school phenom in the Bay area. It certainly wasn't the rule but it did happen.
