I just love PK Dick. When you talk about Hollywood picking and choosing are you talking about aesthetically/grossout wise or politically? Cause Minority Report comes across to me like a libertarian manifesto. Then of course maybe that's cause I'm not a moron like Hollywierd types. And aside from casting that nitwit Ben Affleck, I really liked Paycheck.

The story you're talking about, I don't believe I've read, but I looked it up and the plot synopsis is so familiar I'm sure I've read it or heard it before somewhere. Have to go find the story itself and read it.

My wife and I go to the movies regularly, and we’re rarely surrounded by an audience of teens. Thor, is the only recent exception that I can think of.

What was your opinion of Thor? It's playing at the local $3 theater.

Underwhelming. Possible spoiler:

Thor spends way too much time in the movie being stripped of all power. IMHO, it kind of ruined it.
