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? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- - Have you seen the movie version of Wing Commander? That movie sort of sets the standards for how lousy you can make an interpretation of a game or novel. If you haven't seen it - don't, its a complete waste of time. Malmkvist
