Harry,

I was reading an article over at News.com concerning the shift in computer technology at special effects houses. Nothnig terribly unusual, or even worth mentioning. Until I hit this sentence:

"Digital Revelations is largely relying on Intel-based computers for the effects on "Rendezvous with Ramah," a thriller coming out next year in which a group of humans seek revenge on aliens that blow up Italy. "

Now, they definitely spelled the name wrong, but that's not what bothers me. It's the description of the movie. Perhaps my memory has failed me, but I don't remember the destruction of Italy or the concept of revenge having anything to do with the plot of the original book. Are they completely screwing with the story, or has this been misreported?

You can call me Toothgnip. (And I'll call you Al.)

I have no idea what to say. This can’t possibly be right. Hopefully, we’ll be able to sort out how something so fundamentally wrong might be reported. It’s got to be a mistake. It’s got to be. I’ll just keep telling myself that, because the alternative... it’s too hideous to contemplate.

"Moriarty" out.
