Dead Six. Predictable, I can see that... But it’s still good fun and that should just about sell itself.

If they can do things like Defiance and Falling Skies, Ringworld should be easy to produce.

That...could actually work, if done right. A homicidal faygaleh can be scary as h*ll.

[Yeah, I know it won't be done right.]

Please cast anyone but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Maybe they'll cast Liam Neeson! Or one of the other over the hill unbelievable, just can't stop, action movie stars.

Yeah, I did. I’ve had toilet paper with Clinton on it too.

Who’s the guy on the right?

I like Correia’s Monster Hunter series much better. Totally unbelievable, but a good read nonetheless. John Ringo’s Ghost series is a much better collection (I like the second book, “Kildar” the best), as long as you can get by the occasional Bondage scenes, as the writing is quite good.

I’m still wondering why no one has thought of producing a Ringworld video series or movie. After all, they did that one with the blue-skinned tree-dwelling aliens that seems quite popular.

The “Foundation” series also comes to mind. Game Of Thrones is doing quite well, so it looks like it might translate well also.

Then again, they really destroyed the Harry Dresden series when they tried to produce a (low-budget and poorly rewritten) version a few years ago. It didn’t help that the lead actor looked nothing like what Dresden is written to look like. The cheesy lines just made it worse beyond that.

Brain’s Girlfriend will also be white to make a shocking, in your face, social statement...for the 3,348,893 time.

That said, any movie with Kate Beckinsale AND Jessica Biel is must see in my book.

Mmmmmmm...Kate Beckinsale.

Oh and even though Brain’s Girlfriend is only 90lbs, while Snake & Brain run from fights or get their @$$es quickly kicked, she easily takes on and beats up multiple 250+ lb guys all by herself while wearing heals & tight leather.

You have to admit, that would look great on a big screen...

Nah, after the Wow she is hot factor wears off, it's no different than 1/2 the action/sci-fi movies made since the mid-1990's and gets pretty silly and old real fast

I loved that movie. Its going to be hard to beat Kurt Russell as Snake. Maybe Vin Diesel or Channing Tatum.
