Martian Child is a 2007 American comedy-drama film directed by Menno Meyjes and written by David Gerrold based on his 1994 novelette of the same name. . . . Despite persistent misperceptions, this film is not based on David Gerrold's semi-autobiographical novelette The Martian Child, but rather is based on his fictional Hugo and Nebula Award-winning short story of the same name, which has caused much confusion about the source material

my dad was a reference librarian and the novelization of princess bride was listed as abridged because his grandpa left out all the sex scenes caused him hell when he tried to find the complete edition

The background story provided for the Max Headroom character in his original appearance comes from a dystopian near-future dominated by television and large corporations. The AI of Max Headroom was shown to have been created from the memories of crusading journalist Edison Carter. The character's name came from the last thing Carter saw during a vehicular accident that put him into a coma—a warning sign marked "MAX. HEADROOM: 2.3 M" (i.e., a clearance of 2.3 metres) suspended across a car park entrance.

the movie is based on a book. there is no "novelization" also the whole joke of the book is that it's presented as an abridged version of the story, it says it right on the cover so the library's mistake is understandable Sham bam bamina! fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Mar 11, 2018 |

FrozenVent posted:ban for original research Wikipedia lists The Artist as a "romantic comedy-drama" and any attempt to correct this simple factual error (there is no romance plot in the movie) would get removed as original research. There are plenty of secondary sources which list the film as a romance, the false statement can be very easily cited, so who cares?

Blockchain 2.0 technologies go beyond transactions and enable "exchange of value without powerful intermediaries acting as arbiters of money and information." They are expected to enable excluded people to enter the global economy, protect the privacy of participants, allow people to "monetize their own information," and provide the capability to ensure creators are compensated for their intellectual property.
