That's too bad, especially considering your past love of Weir. But it's okay.

Did you like it Corn?  Curious to hear other people's thoughts.

I really like it, but the books are even better.

I'm very curious about these.  Might need to check some of those out and revisit

I agree with ferris. I watched it twice and both times it just never grabbed me and I love me some Weir.

I'd say give the first one (Master and Commander) a try, if you like it, you'll like the rest of them too.  The nautical terminology can be tough at the beginning, but eventually you get the hang of it.

Thanks.  Might head to library tomorrow.  I just finished a slew of books and had nothing at all planned next

You're taking revenge on me because I didn't like The Science of Sleep, aren't you?  One of the best films of the past decade!
