Languages evolve, why can't English branch off into l33t? Its just another social group with its own lexicon. If you will remember Ebonics was the thing for a while. I'm not sure if schools approached this the same way they are approaching l33t, but the situations sound similar. Personally, I subconciously talk in l33t, think in l33t, and other things, but as long as students learn to control themselves when they write and use proper English, no harm should be done by this new dialect
ya, he told us jake loyd was out of the question, pretty much anyone is because its so hard to cast at that age and theres usually only 1 great child star at a time, and 2 are needed (ender and bean). Maybe if we could just stick some really good kid in a spaceship and let him just shuttle around the system at about 90% lightspeed until they got the script done:)
Just as i thought sci-fi movies were getting hackneyed in the mainstream view (I mean, Battlefield Earth), I heard there was going to be an Ender's Game movie. I talked to OSC at a book signing recently and he said the movie isn't totally under his control or anything, but it seems it should turn out GREAT, but casting hasn't even started -_-.
