Hooray! Another classic story is being readied for the slaughterhouse that is the Silver Screen.
This time its 'The Sound of Thunder', which, as far as I can tell by the ads, is now a Dinosaur horror/action flic targetted at fifteen year olds.
Whoever currently handles Bradburies (sp?) copyrights/movierights/whatever, should be shot. In the stomach with some sort of low powered round that wont kill them outright.
Seriously, no movie that has 'Evolve or die' as its catchphrase, especialy if it was a book at some point.
I hope the director is struck by lightning and the producer goes bankrupt and is eaten by a Komodo Dragon while on vacation.
ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH!
Im sorry, but I am compelled to use the infamous emote:
:headbang:

And lastly, I have to say:
IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE!? Perhaps God will be merciful and cause the screens that this movie shows on the spontaneously combust, or, if were lucky, perhaps the film reels will get stuck in a truck lined with magnets, or overexposed, or whatever.

If such comercialist bullshit bothers you so much why not go to Hollywood and become a c=screenwriter. You can spell, you have two braincells to rub together, surely you'd do a better job of screen adaptations then the nitwits whose efforts have enraged you so.
