Have you read the novel? The writer of the screenplay didn't. I'm not being facetious. He had never even heard of the novel when he started writing the screenplay. Even when someone pointed out that the novel and the screenplay shared the general premise of a war between Earth and a race of arthropods, the screenplay writer read just enough to plagiarize the title and a few character names before he got bored. I could forgive the film or even like it for being a campy "so-bad-it's-good" movie like Dragon Wars or somesuch, but I will never forgive it for pretending to have been inspired by Heinlein's work. I had to reread the book three times to blot the movie from my mind.

kattphud writes "Leopard is finally coming out next month, and I'm in dire need of a new computer, so of course I want a shiny new MacBook Pro. Now, I know better than to fall for another of Apple's early-adopter traps, especially after the one they pulled with the iPhone, so I'm not going to buy one right off. So, how long should I wait after Leopard comes out to buy a MacBook Pro to avoid the worst of the early-adopter traps?"
