How cool is this? A short, very funny short movie based on Terry Bisson's classic short story, 'They're Made Out Of Meat'. Don't even think about trying to watch this if you don't have broadband. What's terrific about it is the other stuff in there, that makes it work so well on the screen - the supporting actors, the general pitch-perfect surrealism of the whole thing, like David Lynch directing Hitchhiker's.

Great video. Although I can't help feeling a tiny bit disappointed that they left out the last line of this superb story.

Hey Alan! Nice to hear from you. Gearing up for the release of your book? It's been a while since I read the Bisson - okay, a couple of months - I'll have to go back and look at it now.
