  Hearing Patrick Stewart's voice coming from Napoleon the pig, I kept wondering:
  "Mon Capitan, what did you do to piss Q off this time?" Too much conditioning for John DeLancie, I guess.

    ...to too many films and too much tv - some characters are cast into their roles and just can't get out. I don't think I'm even going to watch the Captain in his upcoming role in "A Christmas Carol" - I'll keep expecting him to say "Computer, end program" when the ghosts start to visit :-)

  Yep. It even got my wife interested in reading the book!!! Special effects were quite good and at times wonderfully gross, and you might be surprised how they did it. I'll still take Fly for a dog however. I wonder if Joseph Stalin would have liked being portrayed as a pig. There was a special on last Wednesday (10/6) that detailed the making of the movie. I did think the ending was rather abrupt, and it takes you from the days of horse and buggy to "Rock Around the Clock" with a time distortion that only Dr. Who could emulate. All audiophiles are created equal but some are created more equal than others.

    How did your wife get thru high school without reading it? I remember it was required reading for many years - probably government propaganda to indoctrinate America's youth to the wonderful world of capitalism in the post Mcarthy reign of terror :-). I saw a small piece of the special you were talking about (maybe 15 minutes) and I'll look for it again. I didn't appreciate the ending - you're right, a bit too abrupt.

      The book was only 20 years old when I went through. It is pretty much standard reading in many schools now. There is a great message that Jessie relays - they look the same. I'd say they are the same they just look different.
