I can't remember if I've seen one or both versions of the film of The Lottery, but I recall feeling disappointed. The memory - it may be a faulty one - is it began to feel a little like devil worshippers in Doctor Who and other seventies movies: that synchronised intoning of things that no one would really say. The version I remember didn't work. (I definitely saw the TVM version - I see there is also a 2007 short, which I suspect would be stronger because so biref).
The Le Guin story came up in another forum recently, and I'm trying desperately to remember which forum and the context. I think it was Slacktivist, and something to do with US politics, possibly around the time of the Park51 molehill.
Either way it was striking a chord for a lot of people.
