They're Made Of Meat

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!

Wow, that was a lot of fun, and it made me think a lot.

I, like singrdave, missed the story. thanks for the fun evening! I just showed it to the whole fam and they got a kick out of it.

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.

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?

Only you would come up with these questions Chris!LOL!

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