I actually watched that for a paper, we had to write a paper based off of the interpersonal relations in some list of media, but book wasn't in there because of the lack of visual subtext, so I wrote about the movie, and used the book for some comparisons and differences.
It isn't a bad movie, although I must say I like the Clarisse character better in the book, rather than the movie. The jetpack firemen rather than the mechanical hound was also pretty stupid, although I imagine they didn't have the budget to make a decent-looking hound.
They're also planning on making a movie out of it again, although that has been in development hell for about as long as I have been alive.
Yeah, linds, the glasses fit over my glasses just fine. I would have probably preferred it without the 3d, though, it is distracting. It was better used than a lot of 3d stuff, but it still broke my immersion too often.
Alex C:
Yeah, I'm still of the opinion that 3-d in movies is pretty damn optional. Even movies that leverage it well and can live with some of the technical limitations are still usually pretty neat to look at with or without the 3-d, which ironically renders it a bit superfluous. For example, Coraline used lower tech 3-d than Avatar and it still looked impressive because the subject matter and art design didn't really need super saturated colors to be effective. But with that said, nobody would have been interested in looking at it in 3-d if they didn't have good art design to begin with.

I didn't see it in 3D because 1) I wear glasses and 2)

You have no love of satire. Boo-hoo.

Way to jump to conclusions. It's one thing to like satire. It's another to like it when some director signs on for a movie based off of a book he never read, reads part of it, decides he doesn't like it, and instead of stepping down for someone that will actually do something with the book, gets together with his buddy from Robocop and shits out some generic satire that has nothing to do with the book. I liked the book.
Do you like Vonnegut? What would your reaction be if they made a film adaptation of Cat's Cradle, and made it into a light-hearted kid's movie?

First, poor attempt, I guess, at being humorous. Secondly throwing taste to the wayside while I would hate it as an adaptation if done right I could see an enjoyable kiddie friendly version of Cat's Cradle. Just separate from what it is being adapted from.
