They're Made Of Meat - The Movie

I wrote a short article a while back about Terry Bisson's short story "They're made of Meat". Link

Now, someone has made a movie. Pretty cute. Link

Didn't catch the story when you posted it the first time.

And they made a pretty decent movie version of it, too. Thanks for the diversion!

The written story has been around a few years and I've always ranked it among my favorites. While I think the written is funnier, the movie is pretty amusing.

Sounds like V-Ger's Machine planet.

Guy, hadn't thought of it in those terms. I imagined some sort of silicon-based life forms.

That's what I was imagining, too . . . rather than being carbon-based.

I like the written version better, too.

Watching it two questions popped in my head. Will vegetarians watch it? and Could Catholics see it on Fridays if it was Lent?

I missed the earlier post too M, I think I did anyway, since I can't confirm because JU is down. It's hilarious.
