I'm sorry I didn't reply more promptly if it would have helped, but I was
waiting for the thread to reach a point where I thought I had something
useful to contribute . . .
I can't seem to find the original post where Kevin commented on _The
Postman_, but going by memory, I didn't reply to it because my comments
would have been along the lines of a "Me, too!" message:
(1) As Hollywood adaptations of SF books go, it was more or less average.
(2) I agree that after _Waterworld_, no one was going to look favorably on
*any* SF movie produced by/directed by/starring Kevin Costner.
Personally, I looked forward to the movie coming out because it was an
adaptation of the Brin book�, though I had my doubts because of (2).

�You may decide for yourself whether my opinion on Brin books is worth
anything or not from the fact that my favorite book set in the Uplift
universe is still _Sundiver_.
Anyone else want to add their opinions?
