...who am I kidding.

I didn't think Starship Troopers was all that bad of a movie, but it's probably been at least 25 years since I've read the original book, and it's still in storage at my mom's house. I wasn't going to buy another book when I already have one. So my memory has faded over what the book was about.

As far as I, Robot, I haven't seen the trailers yet. But considering the track record of Hollywood of making hack-jobs out of great sci-fi books lately, I fear for the worst. Maybe they will surprise us and it will turn out to be a great tribute to Asimov. I think this is the first time one of his books has been made into a movie. I'm suprised the Sci-Fi Channel hasn't made any Foundation movies and/or mini-series yet, like they're doing with Riverworld. It really can't be as bad as The Day After Tomorrow .
