I’m a big fan of the book. Couldn’t stand the movie.
I was really surprised because, while I have a track record of hating adaptations of books I’ve read, a lot of my friends that had read the book absolutely loved the movie. So I thought maybe it would be okay, even if I didn’t love it. But I couldn’t finish the movie at all, I didn’t even make it halfway.
Out of curiosity, have you watched and read 2001: A Space Odyssey? How did that comparison go, if you have?

I recently read all the discworld novels as well, but I took everyone’s advice about not reading them in release order and I really regretted it. I swapped to release order partway through and it was so much better.
- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 1 year ago:
I think there’s one that comes through my neighborhood. I’ve never actually seen it, just heard it, and it never seems to… actually stop. When I was a kid, the ice cream trucks would stop and play their music for a while so people had time to grab their money and run outside. This one just seems to play a few bars of a song as it drives through, makes me wonder if it’s actually an ice cream truck at all.
- Comment on Bryan Cranston Reveals What He Loves About the ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Revival and Why He ‘Missed’ Playing Hal 1 year ago:
“Slipping back into that character of Hal for me was so rewarding — I missed him,” Cranston, 69, says. “It’s been almost 20 years since we said goodbye. And he’s a sweet, lovable man. He’s really a lovable guy, and it was fun to see all my whole family back together. It was great.”
Cranston also shared what helped him get back into character for the reboot […] “It’s a short-sleeve shirt that Hal would wear, a patterned short-sleeve shirt that screams out he’s not going anywhere,”
