    Now I've watched the trailer -- whoa, did they ever "Hollywoodize" that. In the book, only the surrogates were destroyed, no people died. And it was set in Atlanta, not San Diego, and the main character was a cop, not FBI. I'll bet the suspect won't have the philosophical depth he does in the book, either.

    I liked the book and think it will make a good movie, though they'll have to lose much of the world-building and backstory. Hope Willis plays it serious, as written (which he can) as opposed to the "BRUUUUUCE" macho style that he falls back on.


    Not sure why they're bewigging him as the point of the book is that his robot looks just like him. Guess they think general audiences are too stupid to get that?

    I haven't (yet) read the comic, so I can't judge it on that. But it looks cool.


    And hey, it's Sunday? Where's the Orobourus?
