Who will be responsible now, for these wayward children?

That's a phrase that's in the book, but not the movie. I liked David Brin's tale of the communities growing up from a near-apocalypse and the conman, "Gordon Krantz."

When I first saw the (overlong) movie, I was disappointed and felt Responsibility had been tossed aside. However, this tale of a traveling Shakepeare-mangler grew on me. David Brin himself defended the film, saying that the resolution of the battle between the Holnist/Survivalists and the postal carriers was good.

Our drifter, accompanied by a mule, visits communit... read the rest.

This movie fits firmly in the "it's so bad it's good" category. It's so outrageous, that you just have to see how it's going to end up.

The dialogue/scripts are woeful... but they are delivered with such passion that it almost leaves you breathless.

At the end of the movie, I had no idea what I had just watched, but definitely felt that I had been entertained! Go figure.
