Yes, i know. After the first three, i read Foundations Edge and Foundation & Earth (i think, it's been a while but those sound right). However i didn't really care for them; somehow they seemed forced and unnecessary. I've re-read the first three several times, and still enjoy them, but will probably never touch the rest of the series again. And if words were wisdom, I'd be talking even more.

I've seen various trailers on episode II and it appears to be much better than episode I, making me remembering the old StarWars Trilogy. Waiting for May to comprove this ... Cheers, Joao Vaz
I've also seen the trailer and I'm sure I will not watch episode II. What do you like about it? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

I prefer these low-tech effects from Blade Runner or original Alien. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

Nope. ** David ducks ** They were reasonably good the first few times, but soon got a bit too predictable. I guess if I was born five years earlier that would be different. ____________________ David Wulff I watch how the moon sits in the sky On a dark night shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give light to the moon Assuming the moon's going to owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me You do favours and then rapidly You just turn around and start asking me about Things you want back from me - Linkin Park

One note, have you already saw a film called Dark City, it's from the director of Crow I, and was a very different sci-film, with very dark scenarios, a very pleasant suprise. Cheers, Joao Vaz

To try and generate a few posts about something other than message count. Choose your preference Beef or Lamb Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke Spielberg or Lucas Television or Books Simpsons or South Park Michael :-)

Of course you also need to read I, Robot and Robots and Empire in between Foundations Edge and Foundation and Earth to get a full appreciation for the end of the series.

When you see a model shot as opposed to a computer graphics image, you are seeing a real object with all sorts of little visual cues that can't (easily) be reproduced using computer graphics. Sure, a lot of old effects don't have the polish that modern computer graphics have, but in some cases that actually benefits the effect. Gavin Greig
