Didn't see it when it was on film, or when it came to DVD. Sorry, but from what I saw as far as previews for that movie go, it seemed like it wouldn't really be very good. I don't see EVERY movie incarnation of a book, in fact as a general rule I tend to avoid such things (Lord of the Rings is a grand exception that I hope makes a trend to follow). As it turns out, my friends inform me my fears were justified. I simply see no reason to go see that movie.
As far as that old silly argument ol' bean, I thought ABF was the one arguing that text based adventure games WERE in fact computer/video games and OB1 was the one saying they weren't.
So what do we do? Well, here's the suggestion. We've just been telling two people. The problem is, it's supposed to be "and then they tell two people". We haven't reached that second step yet.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
