One book that's not on that list is Rendezvous with Rama...I guess that's never going to happen. :(

They tried, but the lack of a plot made it a no-go.  One 2001: A Space Odyssey is seemingly all that genre gets.

They made three movies from Solaris.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

2010 exists as well, much as we'd like to forget it. :contract:

It was crap, but it had a plot.

I liked the book, though, and the movie wasn't half bad.  I even read the other  two that came after it. 2061 and 3001. The latter was shite.

2010 wasn't at all the same kind of film as 2001 was or RwR would have been. :contract:

It was a standard Sf flick with a standard plot and effects.

Nothing like honoring Memorial Day like seeing AdultVOD.com posting a new porno called "The Squirt Locker".

The book was cooler.  The Chinese had launched their own ship in secret to get to Discovery before the Russians, and the Monolith whacked the little intergalactic yellow fuckers.  I lolled.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Toy Story 3- Rather good. Held me all the way through which is odd for a middle of the day film. No damn annoying musical interludes and a plot which didn't follow the standard cliched pattern dislike-friends-big hateful slump full of sad songs-friends to save the day!
I wonder what they did for Spannish Buzz in the Spannish version though. Can hardly just make him English what with the sexiness and the Spannish mannerisms.

Now, you guys know that I detest Hollywood's fascination on taking perfectly fine European films, shoving them up their own asses, and shitting them out covered with saccharine.

BUT....

I am somewhat intrigued with David Fincher's remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
