Yes - this was sad to hear. 2001:A Space Odyssey is still my favourite film, not just because of the delightful 'waltz' sequences and attention to detail, but also because of the lack of over-acting and panic in the characters during the tense and dramatic "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" scenes. I think I've probably got most of his books and he was the first author who really made me think about new and challenging ideas. LeeE
