Just started Alfred Bester's Stars My Destination, I see it's been penciled for a film adaptation next year. Simon I really like Stars My Destination, particulary the first half. Have never read Asimov. It is probably about time. yep I really enjoyed The Stars My Destination, just about to do a quickie by reading the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" to coincide with my viewing of Total Recall last night which is also getting remade. As much as I like Verhoeven's film as a very different approach to PKD, I still think there's much better film to be made in a way more akin to his style. Simon I have decided to live forever or die in the attempt.

Really really good, I didn't think I would enjoy them anywhere near as much as I do (not being a huge fan of the Western). About two thirds of the way through, but just can't seem to make it to the end. I think because they are short stories I know I can leave it for a while and then come back not having to rack my brain remembering what happened.

It's intriguing and a fascinating portrait of Hollywood at the time of WDT murder, and the level of police corruption at the highest levels. Vidor intended a film based his 1960s research, when many of the key people involved were still alive. The film never got made, of course. A shame, as done right it could be something between WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? DAY OF THE LOCUST and LA CONFIDENTIAL. While not in the league of the superb THE DAY THE LAUGHTER STOPPED, an extremely detailed history of the hatchet job Hollywood, the press and the SF police department did on Fatty Arbuckle, it's a fast read in semi-novel format.

Selig's powers in Dying Inside are just as dangerous as jaunting was in Bester's The Stars My Destination: for a primitive race like our own we would not be able to handle the power of seeing into other peoples thoughts without using it for our own selfish means - perhaps this is why stories like this are so interesting inasmuch to say that evolution any further beyond a certain point might be beyond us without self-destruction - nice to dream though!
