I really just wanted something to chew on before going on to a mundane task, and this hit the spot. About Hancock: didn't see the movie, but I think that a good excuse for including it is the rethinking of the superhero. An alcoholic hobo guy with superpowers? Sweet. We should never feel that we need to stick to cliches. Hello, great post :) . I really just wanted something to chew on before going on to a mundane task, and this hit the spot.

I agree with most of what you said, but I slow down when I talk about "Intertview with the Vampire". I loved the book, but Anne Rice ruined her vampire universe during the Vampire Chronicles. The books became boring and senseless, and although I like "Interview with the Vampire" a lot, I don't give a good grade to the the chronicles. Oh... and I totally agree with you on that part: "writers should look at what was done as an example of success". Thanks again for sharing your perspective.<br /> <br /> Also thank you for the comment purnomosidhi. It is nice to know that what we write can actually touch people. Thanks for the comment, Doc.

Lord of the Rings put fantasy on the map much like Star Wars did for science fiction. Terminator I is a great movie with a classy twist of just taking a snap-shot picture and making it a great plot device. It is more then a matter of suspension of disbelief, writers should look at what was done as an example of success. Anne Rice's novel is much stronger then the movie. The movie is good, the novel is great but very sad. Start with the novel, then check out the movie. Writers should note the rules of Rice's universe. Set rules and follow them. www.heroesofsciencefictionandfantasy.com voicemail 1-206-333-1297 hey this is doc from the itunes podcast: Heroes of Science Fiction and Fantasy, you have a good list here (have not seen Hancock yet).
