slaughterhouse 5... although i think i'm the only person who liked it currently alive on the planet.

my professor, geller, wrote that adaptation. he's a fucking genius. you'd have to be, to adapt the unadaptable like he did.

i love it, me.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

me too.
perfectly cast and the changes really make a lot of sense (like not showing the Tralfamadorians)

Vonnegut has written many times of liking it himself. if the filmakers could please only one viewer, that might be the one.

I think it's brilliant and really zeroes in on the heart of the book.
