From Pablo Honey to The King Of Limbs...

The Song:
The Movie Version:
When John Crumb is sentenced to 1000 years on the prison ship 0pt1m15t1c for a crime he didn't commit, he immediately starts devising an escape plan.
But his plot to wrestle the controls from his captors goes awry, and he crash-lands 0pt1m15t1c onto a prehistoric planet earth.
Suddenly, Crumb finds himself having to fight dinosaurs, prison guards, and the murderous alien survivors of the wrecked prison ship in his search for civilisation.
Rescuing a walkie-talkie from the wreckage, Crumb makes contact with Cassandra - the only guard on the ship to treat him like a human being - who guides him through the wilderness.
But is Cassandra all she seems? And is the planet as far from home as it appears?
Key Quote:
Crumb: "Flies are buzzing around my head. Vultures circling the dead."
Cassandra: "Try the best you can. The best you can is good enough."

Sorry to be the resident Radiohead pedant... actually, I'm not that sorry, but anyway, the opening dedication to pyramid Song should read "There was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt". 'Cos it's, y'know, the lyrics. I know Thom mumbles, but... The King of Limbs is ace though.

Slightly off topic... I never listend to Radiohead but I think most of Iron Maidens songs would make great movies
