>>How true. I have read many excellent books I would love to see on the big screen. But between the remakes and bring old television shows to the big screen I have nearly stop going to the movies. The last good movie I can recall seeing is the Matrix (the first one, the others sucked.)

>Aye, but folk kept buying me the Matrix sequels for my birthday!

That's the geeky equivalent of the ugly vase - they want to give you something related to you, and they obviously got it wrong. It's like when I got a rock album, from a band I couldn't stand. To them, it was all just screaming and shouting, what did they know. It's the intent that counts.

I hope it's coming from your family, not friends.
