There was that so-so Robin Williams movie - Final Cut, I believe, wherein people can have computer chips (or something) implanted in the brain that record their entire lives. Williams' character is a video cutter - he edits an entire life, recorded as sound and video, down to a few minutes.
Several people I know who've read the book didn't think it funny at all. Just as many thought it was an amazing book and series (myself included). I'm want to take BBC's opinion on this as the right opinion, but anyone that expected the movie to truly represent the book is a fool. Unless it's on the scale of LOTR/Sin City. Anyone remember the crappy 'hollywood-ized' Batman movies?
