>>This all assuming, of course, that JP4 can find a story worth
telling...failing that, there is the soon-to-be produced
  A Sound Of Thunder....

What is that??<<
A very good Bradburry short story in which humans go back in time to
hunt dinosaurs.  However (and this is a big however) the time machine
isn't 'anchored' back in the 21st century, so whatever changes the time
travelers make, affect the home time they will return to ("when you step
on a mouse, you step on the pyramids!").  The hunters walk on a
levitating walkway (so as not to disturb the ground) and shoot animals
that would have been struck by lightning or hit by a tree in a few
minutes, anyway.
One moron gets off the walkway.  He steps on a butterfly...
