A lot of movies that I liked that I THOUGHT were his just aren't. ;^) "Gandahar" (released as "Light Years" in the US) was a French novel that Asimov adapted to English, not an original work. "Fantastic Planet" was by the some author but until today I thought it was based on an Asimov story I'd never read. I'm confused by "Fantastic Voyage"... I know that Asimov wrote the book, but but Jerome Bixby is credited with the story for the movie... but it was a decent film. So yeah - nobody's ever made a good Asimov movie. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:192807 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
