Also I would like to point out that the combination of Sailor Moon and faux-Kerouac / Sonic Youth spelling is perhaps the purest distillation of what this forum is that we have yet been presented with.

Looks a whole lot like Children of Men. Somehow I don't think it's going to be as good, though. Looks stale.

The early screenings that some people have seen apparently weren't very good.  It was directed by the guy who did City of God, which was good, but that may have just been a fluke.

I've been reading the book, and it is absolutely great, but I can not for the life of me imagine it as a movie with Julianne Moore.

The book is pretty awesome. I can't imagine that the movie will be anything more than poorly executed and standardized to fit Hollywood norms.

This has already been done, but it had giant man-eating plants the first time.
