I don't mind ending the discussion there, but my point was not about
"being right" about Aliens.  I do not think anyone has any doubts that
Cameron intended the queen to be a "real" queen in terms of hive
creatures.  Nor, according to what I know, can there be any doubt that
Giger and Scott did *not* intend that there should be that kind of
distinction.

Spirit is sufficient for me.  There are things which are interesting
to dissect even if it is not possible to provide rock-hard evidence.
Anyway, so be it.

There is a videotape of _Nightfall_ based on Asimov's book out.

I read somewhere that someone is going to do movies of the
Foundation series.

They should have movies of the Robot series and stories, plus
Isaac Asimov's Robot City series (and Robots & Aliens).

I imagine it was to show that the aliens have no interest in their personal

they live or die. But when it becomes obvious that they are getting nowhere theystop.

	Yeah, I think that would be a passable idea ... except of
course, that there would be little suspense as many aspects of the
outcome would already be known.  Though I think it could be pulled off
well, nonetheless.  Lotsa action, without the time travel confusion.
Also, it could show us a lot of scenes that were only described to us
yet.  (ie., Connor choosing Reese and sending him back).  But I agree
that I'd like to see Cameron work on something else -- namely, the
Spider-Man movie!!  (What's the latest word on that, by the way?)  A T3
would be a definite cash cow, however.

While on the subject of T2 flaws - try this one.

The scene when Arnold is on the bike looking for John. He rides over 
a bridge and looks down the storm drain and sees him. He then magnifies the
image and enhances it to discover this person is who he is looking for.

Pretty cool - But watch it using a jog-shuttle. The magnified/enhanced image
of John is NOT the same shot as the non-magnified/non-enhanced shot of him
on the motor bike! 

I'm being picky - But who cares !!!

Funny--switch "logical" and "illogical," replace "Selter" with "Deluge"
(if you can misspell my name, I can misspell yours), and replace "Cameron"
with "Scott," and you pretty much have my side of the argument.  I'm 
glad--it saves me the trouble of having to explain my position yet again.

The moral of the story is that we all differ on some fundamental points,
and none of us are even remotely close to changing our minds about them.
Those of you who want to continue getting your rocks off about the topic
are free to do so, but this is one so-called "Cameron worshipper" who's
washing his hands of the whole affair.  Have fun, kids.

Ecktually... I believe Joshua was the password used to get in the
trapdoor.  It was the name of the son (or something) of Warner who'd
built wopper (ugh, what a name :<... Ugh, what a film).  
Anyway, I think warner was obsessed with his son's death, so he used
that as a password.
Since it was so obvious, any silly teenager with a talking PC who checked
out the designer's life could guess it.

There was a story contest held for the new Majin film, and a winner was
selected a few months ago. All I know about the story is that it is a
period piece, like the first three Majin movies. 

I know there have been rumors about an American Godzilla film before,
but never before have these rumors appeared in Japanese newspapers. It's
real this time. 

I will be getting a press release from HBO on the BIOLLANTE video 
within a few days, and will post the full text of it then.

But don't you think that's very close to what's going to happen

Seymour dies in the 1960 version, but Audrey doesn't, does she?
And Audrey II doesn't have a chance, right?

According to Arthur C Clarke's novel  Sal 9000 is Hal's IDENTICAL
twin computer, neither new nor improved. Sal was used to check the
calculations of Hal and to provide an emergency backup for Hal in 
case he failed. Sal was in existance in 2001 just not mentioned.
Sal continued functioning normally because she was not given conflicting
orders.

You were right to put Hal at the top of your list, this is the standard by
which all others must be judged.

Hope you don't do any unsupervised hiking about during the nesting

if anyone gets too close to the nest.

I've heard that a number of other crocodilians tend toward the same
behavior.

Oh yeah, mom responds to juveniles' distress calls for some time
