Re: Armageddon rocked !
All kidding aboot Canadians aside, (yesterday was Canada day) I liked Star Wars when it 1st came out. Never saw the 2 new ones. I'll probably go see the newest one.
Sphere the movie was boring, even with Sharon Stone. I liked Chricton's book though.
There's no accounting for taste. It's subjective.
I like hard sci-fi. Most stuff written today is fantasy which I don't particularly enjoy. Hard sci-fi guys are guys like Greg Benford. I really like Dan Simmons stuff, the Hyperion series. Hard sc-fi mixed with religion & philosophy and rich characters. Go figure.
