I have a couple of copies to giveaway and since this movie is set in the dystopian future let's do a trivia question set in our hopeful past (I know it doesn't make sense but if you wanted things that make sense you wouldn't be coming here). And by hope I mean the Marathon of Hope. How far did Terry Fox run? (bonus points if you don't use Wikipedia). All correct entries will be put in a draw for the two copies. Send your entries to greg dot staples at rogers dot com. If you answer in the you will be disqualified.
BTW, you can read my review of the movie here.

How far?
From Halifax to just outside Thunder Bay.
Distance? For that, I’d have to use Wikipedia, so I won’t.

Okay, I just read your review and saw the movie last week.
Its a great movie - except the not-too-subtle anti-Bush stuff in Michael Caine’s house. Oh brother.
Did you read the book by PD James? Its fantastic and preceeds Milenium (just for concept originality purposes). Also, the book and movie are, except for premise and some details, radically different. Which makes the movie all the more interesting (but not better than the book, but not that much worse either).
Sorry to ramble, but its an interesting topic.
