The only reason for “True Lies” being marginally better than “Avatar” was Tom Arnold. Scary to admit it, but he was the only part of that movie that worked.

There is the battle room and the Invasion of the Bugger’s System and Planet. Plus flashbacks to Mazer Rachham’s heroics in the 2nd Bugger War. The action is described rather quickly in the books but will get extended treatment in the movie or so I have read.

Rumors. I have not seen the Final Cut LOL. Just rumors I have read on various sites.

You want a quick summery of the book?

It is really a quick read.

You can read in maybe 5 hours, it is not a Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones tomb.

Movie does not come out till November 1st.

“World war, kidnapping, explosions, gunfights, intercontinental chases, murder, starships fighting....seemed like a lot of action to me.”

Yeah, that too LOL.

In my first reply I was thinking of battle scenes but kidnappings, car bombings, gunfights, hand-to-hand to the death fights and intercontinental chases count as action too LOL.

I started reading the book. It's very humanistic/messianic. The self-styled "Ender" is bred and raised to be the savior and the "Battle School" and it's administrators foresees/orchestrates all that from the beginning. They converse with each other anonymously at the beginning of every chapter, very: "let us make man in our own image".

Does this sound like godmaking gods to anyone else?

I'm still reading the book and it seems like a great story. The movie looks really good too. I simply urge everyone to do the proper worldview analysis and resist the propaganda.

I understand that “The Fifth Estate” about Assange and Wikileaks bombed completely over the weekend. Less than $2 million boxoffice from 1800 theaters.
