You would only need someone for Ender's Game... If they made EG the movie, 
they would have to do the sequels as well... Then Ender is 20-30 and even 50-60
years old... You'd need a new actor for every film unless you released only 1
film every 20 years or so... 
 
I don't think Orson Scott Card would sell the movie rights anyways.

In fairness to Mr. Zeleny, it should be noted that although he posted
his original article to a dozen groups, he included a "Followup-To:

line.  I've restored it in this posting.

Possible spoilers for those interested in reading Gerald's Game:


> I just finished reading his latest book "Gerald's Game". I felt

> "The Dark Half". 

	Yep. It was quite a good book - but not as good as Needful
Things. I thought that the ideas contained within Gerald's Game were
very similar in places to those in Dark Half - in the sense that
somebody's imagination is mixed with reality.

> Anyone else out that read "Gerald's Game" and think it would
> make a good movie? It is a little gorier than his other works.

	I think it would make a reasonably good movie - but I am not so
sure that it would transfer all that well to the screen as a lot of the
movie would rely on the voices in her head and continual flashbacks - in
my experience I find that movies that rely too heavily on this kind of
storyline tend not to be pulled off too well ( maybe a little to
complicated ).
	I don't know whether the book can be said to be gorier - I
didn't find it particularly gory (but then again I have been reading
lots of Clive Barker recently :-) ), however, the film makers could add
or delete gory bits as they wanted. The scenes with Gerald's body being
ripped apart by the dog were described in the book mainly from Jesses's
point of view - i.e. not that visible - this could be carried over into
the film and you would just get the audio representation of these
delightful scenes - leave the rest to everyone's imagination, which I
found most active during my reading of the book.

	Perrsonally, I think Needful Things would be carried off
perfectly in film form - I imagine Mr. Gaunt to be played by the tall,
expresionless actor (name escapes me) who plays Troi's mother's
manservant in Star Trek - TNG. Now that could well be a gory movie....

To clear up any further misunderstandings, I was comparing "Saturn Three" to
"Hardware". Thats what the review is for. 
And yeah, the flick with Keitel is "S3". Best viewed in a half asleep condition.

I disagree.  Without such scenes, "Basic Instinct" would be nothing more
than a cheat.  The film is quite literally about sex, and kinky sex,
at that.  The lure of the film is in the sex.  That being the case,
a woman bouncing up and down on a guy, and a naked woman straddling
a naked guy on a chair are exactly what this film is about - and I'm
surprised that anyone would be surprised to find such scenes in this
film.  The whole ad campaign promised them, after all, along with a
big dose of violent mixed in with the sex.  Which it also delivered.
I would argue that "Basic Instinct" is a good case of truth in advertising.

>>"Boomerang" is a sex comedy.  
>I thought "Boomerang" was about a swapping of stereotypical roles in

Not a main point, perhaps, but inherent in the premise.  In a modern
film, if we don't have scenes of Eddie Murphy in bed with women, something
would feel quite odd about this film.  It would have a rather prudish
feel to it, completely out of keeping with the premise.  One can argue
that perhaps there should have been a few less breasts and butts, but
I don't honestly remember there being all that many, anyway.

It was indeed nifty.  And has anyone else noticed the possible "Guns &

I've often wondered about this russian-roulette theme in "The Deer Hunter" --
it pervades the whole movie.  Is this supposed to be taken at face value, or is
there some deeper significance which is commonly accepted?  The reason why I
think I may be missing something is because I don't know much about Vietnam

No offence intended.  Thanks in advance for the explanation(s), if any...
