Orson Scott Card Reviews Everything

Posted by Zonk on from the but-mostly-serenity dept.

H_Fisher writes "Orson Scott Card, author of sci-fi classic Ender's Game and many other novels and stories, has posted his review of the much-discussed Joss Whedon film Serenity (which opened at #2 in the US box office this past weekend). Among other things, Card has this to say about Serenity: 'Those of you who know my work at all know about Ender's Game. I jealously protected the movie rights to Ender's Game so that it would not be filmed until it could be done right ... I'll tell you this right now: If Ender's Game can't be this kind of movie, and this good a movie, then I want it never to be made.'" With praise for Full House, Friends, Being John Malkovich, and Lost to boot.

    Since it influences so many of your own writings, how about reviewing the Book of Mormon? I'm especially interested in your take on the ten lost tribes of Israel becoming legendary sailors, moving to America to become the Amerindians, and the part about black people being the damned sons of Cain. But feel free to talk about the disappearing golden plates, special underwear, or polygamy, if you prefer.

    So not liking Ender's Game is equivalent to being a troll?

    Your pathetic life is retribution enough for your moronic distribution of mod points, moderator.
