A headline in the Sydney Morning Herald seemed to bemoan the fact that the movie was doing okay despite the author's views. I often wonder about that in regards to bad reviews of three classic science fiction films, War of the Worlds (the remake), Minority Report and this year's best, Oblivion. Are they reviewing the movie or their hatred of Tom Cruise's personal life? See more on my next post about that. Oh, and Ender's Game is an okay film, especailly for those who are like science fiction films about themes and ideas, rather than just alien war films.

But you make a good point about the lives of artists. It's a good point – don't get too close to your heroes they say, for good reason. He has said some rather narrow things given he is supposed to be writing of the future.

I was aware of the novel back in the 80's but never read it. I'm sure I've read other books of his though, a couple of movie tie ins?
