I agree. It's not a sequel to the movie, but it is a rather good adaptation of the book 2010 (which, I think, was the last "new" Clarke novel I read)

As for Woody Allen, those who dislike his movies should find the CD of some of his old standup comedy. Damned funny.

I don't think I have even watched a complete Woody Allen film.

I concur that Dalton's take on Bond is probably the closest to Fleming's, but the scripts he had weren't the best.

Whereas, I didn't buy the romance between Bond and Vesper in 'Casino Royale' at all, and it nearly broke the movie for me.

'Crash' was a clunky, predictable melodrama.

'Spaceballs' not only sucked space rocks through a fifty metric foot space hose, it was also about ten years too late.

'Psycho II' was a sound attempt at a sequel to the original.

'Psycho III' stank on ice.

'Manhattan' is waaay better than 'Annie Hall', but Allen hasn't made an interesting film since 'Bullets over Broadway'.

'Bullshot' is a marvellously bonkers comedy that no-one has heard of.

'Robocop' benefited from being edited for television.

Kubrick's best film was 'Paths of Glory'.

'Splash!' may well be a better-written comedy than either 'Tootsie' or 'Some Like it Hot'.

Harrison Ford's narration improves 'Blade Runner'.

Jerry Goldsmith is the best film composer of the last fifty years.

Wow, those are some classic "melon farmer" moments  lol

One broadcast version called the bitches "ladies". But the pendulum can swing both ways... The Polish translator turned bitches into "whores".

Re: #45 - Unpopular Opinions

I actually first saw Robocop on TV but it must have been cable because it was only moderately censored, i.e. the guy still got his kneecap shot off and screamed for a bit.
I actually think TV censors have the most thankless job. I loved the move "Con Air" in part because the TV censoring of prisoner swearing is pretty hilarious ("My daughter's picture! Where did you put my daughter you dirt eating pencil neck!") It was a an interesting break from the intense violence of the movie. But, the level of creativity these people sometimes need to use its pretty remarkable.

God loves you!
