Yeah I'm pretty worried about the movie. I haven't even finished the novel yet but I can already see that it's going to have too much going on to be turned into a three hour movie and deliver even a fraction of the actual story with any depth. It will probably be very stylish and cool though, just lacking the same depth of the novel. Which now a couple days later I'm loving even more. Some of these chapters are just so brilliantly written. I just read the chapter where osterman is on mars and you're seeing his life from his perspective of a timeless existence. The way it moves forwards and backwards and recognizes everything in between, and the cold, monotone, melancholic prose that drives into the future and past going forward and in reverse without ever skipping a beat, it was fantastic. I was glued to those pages....man, Screw you VGchartz, I'm going to go read something worthwhile.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
