[edit] NOT 'in production'

I removed the line saying the film is in production. It is still in re-writes and has not even begun pre-production.

[edit] Criticism

"Despite the fact that the USS Nautilus (SSN577) is permanently based in Groton, Ct. as a museum and is incapable of use as a submarine, the vessel plays a minor role in the story."

Riiiight, and that just ruined it for you, did it? How about this:

Despite the fact that C. Megaladon is extinct, the author uses it as the basis for his book.

You do know it's called FICTION for a reason, right? Do you watch Star Trek and get all hung up about the fact that they're going faster than light or that there are aliens who look pretty much like humans but with bumpy foreheads? If so you must lead a very frustrating life.

To this end, I am REMOVING the criticism section. If your life is so terribly incomplete without it, revert the edit, but I stand by it. Literary criticism requires a real critique of the story, not just of arbitrary bits which don't reflect reality. Bwanderson (talk) 04:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
