Up on the Big Screen

Kind of a quick question for my friends out there.......and anyone else bored enough to answer, I suppose.

If you could make any book into a movie, what would be your top choice, and why??
Further, who would you cast in it?

Okay, while you chew on that one, my answers to it should be obvious by now. Especially since I already sort of answered it here: ETF Saga Movie Cast

If for some reason I couldn't do THAT......I would love to make either Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance Chronicles or Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books into a truly kick-ass movie....or series of movies.

On a related note.......who would do the soundtrack?? For the ETF movie it would be Bon Jovi, LL Cool J, Journey, Halestorm, Third Knut, Public Enemy, and Mr Big, with some other guests. The official soundtrack album would be a triple disc set most likely, lol.


Hey, Hollywood......gimme some money already and let's get this going ;)

It's the End of the World as we Know it

So, apparently, the world is ending tomorrow.
I wouldn't even know anything about this if it weren't for people posting on it on Facebook and Twitter.
So, since we all know it's really NOT (I mean, I haven't even perfected my doomsday device yet)....how the hell did this crap get started this time??
(And for the record, I think I've lived through 3 "Apocalypses" already. 1983, 1994, 2000)

And, wouldn't the world be a better place if all the people that believed in it when people just go and say things without any form of quantitative proof just disappeared??? (Yes, I know that's skirting a very fine line with religion....I'll live with it.)

So, since I've heard very little about it, what is it this time? Plague, computer sentience, zombies?
