I'm not saying there's any lifting going on by anyone... just setting the timeline straight... :) I only just recently found out about this discussion – I was wondering why my website traffic spiked that week… :) While Rucker's book may have been *published* before Jittlov's feature was released, the film was primarily shot in 1984, and was based on Jittlov's earlier 1979 short film, also called "The Wizard of Speed and Time"…

As it is, the title you quote shares only a preposition, a conjunction and the word "time" ;) And <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081766/" rel="nofollow">here</a> is Jittlov's film on IMDB. I think the Gondry-directed movie will probably be good. But I'm keen to see (the incomplete) WOSAT sometime too. Fnord. Thanks Clayton,

I have enough collectibles on this well-known unknown masterpiece to confirm this, I think....anyway, the phrase-ette "space and time" is common enough to make it a possible coincidence. Of course, it does screw with Jittlov's ability to finish the film (he has said that the film as it exists today is but a 60% complete workprint of the final film...and he, I believe, does intend to finish it someday.) and get it Special-Edition-DVD'ed. ...in any case, "Master of Space and Time" could be OK, but it is surely not going to be as good as WOSAT.
