I'm not going to add anything to your lists, because then Paul Watson would make fun of me for a week. :) Good music: In my rosary[^]

Obviously, I forgot to add an appropriate smiley to my message, making it clear that I too wasn't all that serious. Well not to that degree which has been perceived. :-D Good music: In my rosary[^]

I refer you to my previous posting: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=2605#xx1178253xx[^] As a character, he is a pretentious turd, kind of like Chirac in space. As an actor he is a twat for even thinking of suing the creators of red dwarf, one of the all time greatest space based programs. I mean, who could forget the cat, and krighton. Excellent stuff! Nunc est bibendum!
I agree, red dwarf was/is excellent! :-D Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)

Looking at this list I wonder if you have ever read any science fiction rather than watch the palpable puke that is on the tube ? Perhaps Isaac Asimov's robot series. Maybe the Foundation Trilogy by the same author. These are classics. Hell try Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers - not the flick - the book - its quite different. Richard In a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, zits, broccoli, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, stupid guys, and PMS, why the hell do people still tell me to have a nice day? --Unknown
Exactly. You will find very little real science fiction on TV or in a movie theater. Real science fiction is in books. I grew up reading Asimov, Bradbury, Bester, Heinlein, Clarke, etc., and still think about stories I read decades ago. The stuff that passes for science fiction on TV is mostly pretty bad and is quickly forgotten. If you haven't read science fiction, you don't know what you're missing.

Okay, lots of rancour and argument in the Soapbox. How about a debate on the top ten sci-fi characters (human or, as an alternative, not human). I select the following: 1: Neo: cos he's so far up his own arse he may as well be an alien. 2: Alien: Grrr. 3: Jean-Luc Picard: Pretentious git. 4: Frank Poole: stupid cunt. 5: Adama: who thinks up these names anyway? 6: Gort: Shoulda been in charge :-) 7: Darth Vader: should have let him keep Prowse's voice. 8: Everyone in Solaris (any version): could this have been any more boring... 9: Jodie Foster: wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. 10: Luke Skywalker: just because he suffers form small-man sydrome.
The true price of freedom is war.

I watch 4 DVDs before I had to tap out. It was worth it. I've had my fix for another month. :cool:

From memory Running Man was written by Richard S Bachman, which was a pseudonym for Stephen King. The movie was little more than eye candy and an Arnie vehicle while the book was dark and brilliant. Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So i had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004
