Some of my earliest memeories of reading were (aside from school books or Dr. Seuss) were Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. Of course, now I feel really old and it's Marnie's fault.

The second adaptation is much better, but misses the mark by a wide margin. The all time worst, though, might be Stephen King's "The Stand". That movie had the wrong people together in the wrong groups in the wrong places at the wrong times doing the wrong things. And it missed 90%+ of the real meat of the stories, which went on inside people's minds. Like Stu's trek out of Las Vegas with the dog. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ ----------------- The Sci-Fi channel's, Dunes, OTOH, aren't bad. And they are now out on DVD. Although a lot of the concepts in Dune are bit hard to capture on film. But I thought they did a pretty good job. Marnie aka Doe Been reading sci-fi since I was 12 years old.
