You're entitled not to want to see the movie, and to feel that it somehow impinged on a story you respect in its own terms. There are very few stories about which I would feel so strongly about an adaptation/change/homage/borrowing, but I respect the fact that you clearly do so.

As it was, we probably wouldn't have gone to see the movie without knowing of the connection. I had been very unimpressed by the trailer, and [livejournal.com profile] esrblog had no interest until he was told by a friend that the Padgett story had inspired it.
