An Argument for Fan Cuts

I'm a fan of Robert Heinlein. No shock to anyone who's been reading me for a while. One of the hazards of being a Heinlein fan is watching the movies made of his works. Puppet Masters could have been a lot worse. Starship Troopers I've actively avoided--the reviews make me worry I'd blow multiple blood vessels watching it. So I was hopeful but wary when I heard a movie was being made of "All You Zombies." EDIT: A movie called "Predestination." I should include titles in my movie reviews . . .

It vanished from the theaters before I made up my mind to see it, but a friend loaned me the DVD recently. This past weekend I finally watched it.

My reactions are . . . mixed.
