Reading
On my trip out to Boston, I read The Princess Bride; as Fred said, it's a lot darker than the movie. On my trip back, I borrowed and read Cory's copy of Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions. The story had two defects as fiction (which are understandable in that it wasn't fiction): first, the gamblers didn't use any technology to help them -- no computers in the shoe or anything like that. Second, they quit almost as soon as frightening things began to happen to them.
If there were a movie version, as I understand there may be, I'd expect them to have computers in their shoes, to spend a long time creating the user interface, and to try at length to catch the people who are harassing and threatening them.
