Doubt it'll really be a problem, though.

Is it supposed to be children or adults who read the book as children?
If it is for children what ages is it suitable for?

I know my eleven year old doesn't want to see it. When we saw the trailer before a viewing of 9 she found the monsters creepy and scary. She didn't like their noses. This is a kid who has no problem with LoTR, Buffy, 9, Coraline or Alien/s.

By the way, phantom, your eleven-year-old likes Buffy?
Aren't the situations shown in this show a little bit old for her to understand/appreciate? Like first sexual relationship, addiction, adulthood, etc...?

Personally I think those relationships etc are handled very well on Buffy. She isn't as big a fan as her older sister but I mentioned it because she has seen the show and the images didn't frighten her.
I watch shows with my kids so if they have any questions about the content I am there to answer them. My kids learned about Lesbians from Buffy and their favourite gay actor is Neil Patrick Harris. If we can use TV as a tool to broaden their world view I'm all for it.

The relationships are handled very well in Buffy, I give you that. I'm a fan myself. But I didn't understand all the nuances the first I saw it (I was , what 13+?). When I rewatch them now, I find it even more fun cause I can rely to some of the characters relation.

Then again, when I was required to read "Catcher in the Rye" in high school I described Holden as a "whiny bitch."
So, yeah, it's probably me.

short story version "Max at Sea" some time in September. I was astonished reading it... it was like reading the film six weeks early (and if that's the case, the film will be crushingly good).

Way to go, twee indie hipster jerks.

I just pray that it won't make The Cat In The Hat look reverentially faithful to its source material in comparison.

Am I the only person who wasn't all that affected by this book as a child?

...what is your process of thought, how did you come up with thinking about wanting to put this bit of plot...
... but you know, in a slightly more conversational way.
I remember looking at the pictures of the book when i was a kid. i dont remember the story line.
I know i would like to see this movie. but i want some pure escapism in my media right now... Sage of the Seven Suns would be right up my alley. imagine trying to film that as a movie.

For some reason, it gets used a lot by fannish women ;) and I first heard it as a girl in engineering school.

Also, I want to be a New Celt. Sounds like I'd fit right in. "Beast slavery" FTW -- some animals is tasty, some produce tasty things, and some are cute and fuzzy companions. I'm keeping my wine, my bacon, and my kittehs.
