mike andree asks:
	Did they actually make that <uncomplimentary> into a good movie?

    They sure did, mike. It is your loss if you missed this one. The characters
were believable and generaly sympathetic, some of the sets were spectacular.
But I liked best the fact that the audience was assumed to be intelligent.

    As LeGuinn said: [and I quote only from memory]

    If you grant me this one preposterous premise -- that this man's dreams can
change reality -- I'll try to make the rest as real and believable as possible.

    Of course all of this may be a tad subjective. I kinda liked the book in the
first place. But the movie was at least good enuf to deserve a chance.
