To heck with the critics, I loved "The Postman"

One of my favorite books of all time is The Postman, by David Brin. So I was thrilled (and a little nervous) when I heard Kevin Costner was making it into a movie. Still, I loved the movie. Did it follow the book? Well, not completely. In fact, it left out about half of the book. Fortunately, it was the half I didn't think belonged in the book in the first place. (Sorry, David!) I wondered what Brin thought of the film, and while searching for confirmation that I'm not losing my mind -- well, OK, that's debatable -- and he really did call the intelligent agents in Earth ferrets, I discovered that he's let us in on his thoughts about the movie. I'm glad to see that I'm in line with him. :)
