yep, that's from one of his short story collections. However, butterfly effect is about ashton cutcher learning some kind of "vodoo" to go back in time and save his gf from dieing, no matter what he does the timeline keeps getting worse. Like his gf becomes a crackjunkie etc.Skorch said:The title's taken from an old story by (I think) Ray Bradbury, and was also the basis for the Simpsons episode...some guy goes on a dinosaur hunting expedition (through a time machine, of course) the people organizing the expedition have set it up so the dinosaurs being killed were scheduled to die on that spot anyway, and you could not leave these elevated walkways they had arrainged...but one hunter panics when the dino comes in view, leaves the walkway and they find a crushed butterfly on the sole of his boot...when they get back, the entire course of history has been altered.
Damn, Bambi-killing hunters...

He also went back in time, screwed things up and had to keep going back to attempt to set things strait. Hey, I hope the people in the butterfly effect don't end up eating breakfast with their tongues.
