Doug SpauldingOnce again, I find myself concurring.
Mr B is annoyed at Universal now, as there are seventeen (at last count) scripts on
The Martian Chronicles over there at the studio!
"Just shoot the damn book", he says! On a recent visit, he said "we'll colonize Mars before the (blank-blank) film gets made!

gguthrieI just did the same thing, about a couple of months ago I re-read The Martian Chronicles. It was the first time in 20+ years. This was actually the first Bradbury book I ever read back in middle school. This was the book that hooked me. And it was still as wonderful as when I read it as a kid.
