revgeorge, yes! Once you read it, that’ll increase our circle to 3, which is a good number to start a good discussion. More will join once the movie comes out, but you will have the (real) distinction of being able to claim that you went to the primary source.

Saw the whole trailer today (went to see Gran Torino, which was very good, and neat redemption story arc, but that's another tale) and it's looks very good.
