Seeking a Friend for the End of the World[edit]

Am I the only one wondering if the similarities of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World with The Year of the Jackpot are just a coïncidence? I haven't seen the film, but some aspects of the summaries that are available made me think immediately of this short story. I could not find anything about it though, and Heinlein hasn't been credited, from what I could gather on Imdb. Asavaa (talk) 11:01, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the rating of this article as Stub-class is wrong. I think that the excellent plot description merits at least Start-class. The article needs more content other than plot to rise any higher, but it's definitely more than a stub right now. Rpresser (talk) 16:22, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
