I'm so glad David Fincher is the guy doing the remake, but he has a LOT to live up to. This was an excellent movie, and about as true to the book as is possible. I need to get my hands on the next two, I'm interested to see if they were able to cast the two sequels as perfectly as they did this movie.

I understand how offputting all the hype is, but seriously, read the books. They're awesome.

I agree.

If James Patterson had written these two posts he would have split them into six chapters.

Post by: FAH-Q on August 15, 2011, 12:10:47 PM: is Dean R. Koontz different from Dean Koontz?

Post by: FAH-Q on August 20, 2011, 01:05:37 PM: I'm not being elitist. I've never read any Dean Koontz, but I've also never seen his name spelled with a middle initial.

I think any claim I might've had at literary elitism went out the window when I read all those Star Trek novels. Or the first 11 or 12 Evanoviches. Or every book Dick Francis ever wrote.

Post by: Tru on August 22, 2011, 10:13:25 PM: I sign my name with a middle initial all the time, In fact it has become something less than a scribble these days. Nobody cares.

But you are right it seldom shows it on his books. I have several and all of them are simply Dean Koontz.

Trailer trash can read? Who let this happen?

Next, they'll be allowed to think, and then it'll be ARMAGEDDON!
