The short story wasn't my cup of tea. It felt more like a horror story than just sci-fi. I liked Groundhog Day. Stories about time travel are fun. I am Legend was a great story and the film was fun. The Martian Chronicles? I've heard of it. Is that by the same guy who wrote Dune?
The Martian Chronicles is Ray Bradbury of Fareheitt 451 fame. Dune is Frank Herbert of Dune fame. It’s written sort of like a collection of short stories. I actually read it back in middleschool, of all places, and it’d be interesting to compare it now to my memories of it back then, which were of being pretty bored.
Is the Martian Chronicles of the same series as that Princess of Mars movie? I believe they called it John Carter. That was a good movie. It wasn't as heralded as it should have been.
