Now more than ever we have the tools to do amazing things with computer graphics. They will eventually get tired of making movies out of the same tired stories over and over and find jewels like Cordwainer Smith's stories. Hopefully in our lifetime!Ray in Vegashttp://www.raysmobileonsite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080489840120448578.post-12485000315414370952011-06-13T05:20:44.635+02:002011-06-13T05:20:44.635+02:00Scanners Live in Vain is one Cordwainer Smith stor...Scanners Live in Vain is one Cordwainer Smith story that I read when I was, maybe, 13-14 y.o. It struck me deeply. Until now i still go back and read the story. I would hate to have someone make this story into a movie and remove all the nuances that made this story a really thought provoking experience.Moninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080489840120448578.post-74260519987270600072009-12-03T19:54:32.195+01:002009-12-03T19:54:32.195+01:00Thank you very much for your kind comment, Rosana....Thank you very much for your kind comment, Rosana. I would love to see film adaptations of Smith's stories, although I think I would not be able to stand "A Planet Named Shayol" on screen.<br /><br />greets<br />JeroenJeroen Admiraalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458891519311367864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080489840120448578.post-46910580362430254712009-11-24T16:32:39.905+01:002009-11-24T16:32:39.905+01:00What a pleasure to read your comments on my father...What a pleasure to read your comments on my father's stories. I too feel like he is commenting from a distant future.<br /><br />Regarding your comment about "should have seen countless adaptations in film," there have occasionally been nibbles of interest but nothing has come of them.<br /><br />Interestingly, his stories have been translated into many languages and I get the feeling that he continues to be read in Europe.<br /><br />Best,<br />Rosana Hart, his daughterRosana Linebarger Harthttp://www.cordwainer-smith.comnoreply@blogger.com
