Wow, no, but I was raised on Heinlein. If they're going to turn the Great One's books into movies, they'd better get it right.

Making ST into a movie was a mistake in the first place. It's not about action, it's about the philosophy. For that reason, Have Spacesuit is a better choice to make a movie from (though the wonderful bit in the beginning about education, which inspired me when I was ten, will probably not get translated to screen well at all). Kip and Peewee were some of the many friends I found in Heinlein, when I was a weird little girl just starting SF...

I can see how translating the philosophy/idea side of Heinlein to the big screen would be challenging.

Incidentally, which of Heinlein's stuff has been adapted to movie form? I've seen several movies I felt were inspired by Puppet Masters as well as at least one actual adaptation, and then there's Destination Moon. Anything else you're aware of?
