Technology has been erased.
Our only hope is an unlikely hero.”

I read the novel by David Brin long ago, and really liked it.

This is one of those times that the film is so much better that the novel.
I like David Brin’s work.
However, the film vastly deepened and improved the story, and its underlying motives.
Well, that’s my opinion.

Bump for tonight - 8pm ET.

I’m on my way to job now i’m doing for a friend…I SHOULD have time to buy the blu ray (CMOOONNN best buy) and be home on time :slight_smile:

If it would help to start an hour later at 9p ET, I could do that.
Let me know, otherwise, see you at 8p.

hrrrmmm…maybe 8:30 might be better, I’m trying to wrap up (you’d be amazed how long a 20 mile drive can be in NJ at 5pm…)

No problem. 8:30p it is.

See ya then.

Movie ordered…laptop ready…dinner being consumed…and six minutes to spare… #win!

Ok, I’m here.

time to hit play…

2013
Pretty desolate

Weird to see “future movies” set 18 months ago…

16 years without rain?
Pretty dry

Ya well, in an alternate universe - it’s happening now.

Random Lion…musta escaped from Vegas…haaaaa

Bill the mule.

Heh…its a timey whimey thing :slight_smile:

“You ain’t picky Bill”

Cool way to flashback.

Love the old TV Guide.
